二维弹性多波时空域高斯束偏移方法

随着我国勘探开发难度逐步增大,勘探目标开始向裂缝油气藏、岩性油气藏等复杂探区转移,研究高精度、适应性强的多波多分量深度偏移算法在后续的地震解释、属性分析及储层预测中具有重要意义.针对多波多分量地震数据,本文提出了一种二维弹性波时空域高斯束偏移方法.时空域高斯束沿中心射线传播时能够面向成像目标描述局部波场,且对振幅和频率可调制的Gabor基函数有天然的适应性,因而将基于Gabor分解的子波重构方法应用于震源波场构建,从而得到任意点源函数产生的时空域高斯束波场.该方法由于直接在时间域进行计算,可以避开频率域中出现的假频和边缘截断效应等问题.基于各向同性弹性波动方程的Kirchhoff-Helmholtz积分解,利用矢量时空域高斯束传播算子构建格林函数和格林位移张量,并结合上行射线追踪策略,实现了检波点波场的反向延拓.针对矢量波成像问题,本文借鉴弹性波逆时偏移方法从矢量延拓波场中分离出纯纵波分量和纯横波分量,进而采用修改后的内积成像条件产生具有明确物理意义的PP、PS成像结果,避免了转换波成像的极性反转问题.最后利用简单两层模型和不含盐体构造的部分Sigsbee2a模型的成像结果,并将其与应用近似纵横波成像条件、标量和矢量势成像条件的偏移剖面进行对比,验证了本文方法的正确性和有效性.     

Common‐shot Fresnel beam migration based on wave‐field approximation in effective vicinity under complex topographic conditions

Gaussian beam migration is a versatile imaging method for geologically complex land areas, which overcomes the limitation of Kirchhoff migration in imaging multiple arrivals and has no steep‐dip limits of one‐way wave‐equation migration. However, its imaging accuracy depends on the geometry of Gaussian beam that is determined by the initial parameter of dynamic ray tracing. As a result, its applications in exploration areas with strong variations in topography and near‐surface velocity are limited. Combined with the concept of Fresnel zone and the theory of wave‐field approximation in effective vicinity, we present a more robust common‐shot Fresnel beam imaging method for complex topographic land areas in this paper. Compared with the conventional Gaussian beam migration for irregular topography, our method improves the beam geometry by limiting its effective half‐width with Fresnel zone radius. Moreover, through a quadratic travel‐time correction and an amplitude correction that is based on the wave‐field approximation in effective vicinity, it gives an accurate method for plane‐wave decomposition at complex topography, which produces good imaging results in both shallow and deep zones. Trials of two typical models and its application in field data demonstrated the validity and robustness of our method.

Parsimonious 3D post-stack Kirchhoff depth migration

Parsimonious post‐stack migration is extended to three dimensions. By tracing single rays back along each incident wave direction (as determined by a local slant stack at the receivers), the ray tracing can be embedded in the migration. This approach significantly reduces the computer time and disk space needed because it is not necessary to build and save image time maps; 3D migration can be performed on a workstation or personal computer rather than using a supercomputer or cluster. The location of a reflector in the output image is defined by tracing a zero‐offset ray to the one‐way traveltime (the image condition); the orientation of the reflector is defined as a surface perpendicular to the raypath. The migration impulse response operator is confined to the first Fresnel zone around the estimated reflection point, which is much smaller than the large isochronic surface in traditional Kirchhoff depth migration. Additional efficiency is obtained by applying an amplitude threshold to reduce the amount of data to be migrated. Tests on synthetic data show that the proposed implementation of parsimonious 3D post‐stack Kirchhoff depth migration is at least two orders of magnitude faster than traditional Kirchhoff migration, at the expense of slightly degraded migration image coherence. The proposed migration is expected to be a useful complement to conventional time migrations for fast initial imaging of subsurface structures and for real‐time imaging of near‐offset sections during data acquisition for quality control.     

Gabor‐frame‐based Gaussian packet migration

We present a Gaussian packet migration method based on Gabor frame decomposition and asymptotic propagation of Gaussian packets. A Gaussian packet has both Gaussian‐shaped time–frequency localization and space–direction localization. Its evolution can be obtained by ray tracing and dynamic ray tracing. In this paper, we first briefly review the concept of Gaussian packets. After discussing how initial parameters affect the shape of a Gaussian packet, we then propose two Gabor‐frame‐based Gaussian packet decomposition methods that can sparsely and accurately represent seismic data. One method is the dreamlet–Gaussian packet method. Dreamlets are physical wavelets defined on an observation plane and can represent seismic data efficiently in the local time–frequency space–wavenumber domain. After decomposition, dreamlet coefficients can be easily converted to the corresponding Gaussian packet coefficients. The other method is the Gabor‐frame Gaussian beam method. In this method, a local slant stack, which is widely used in Gaussian beam migration, is combined with the Gabor frame decomposition to obtain uniform sampled horizontal slowness for each local frequency. Based on these decomposition methods, we derive a poststack depth migration method through the summation of the backpropagated Gaussian packets and the application of the imaging condition. To demonstrate the Gaussian packet evolution and migration/imaging in complex models, we show several numerical examples. We first use the evolution of a single Gaussian packet in media with different complexities to show the accuracy of Gaussian packet propagation. Then we test the point source responses in smoothed varying velocity models to show the accuracy of Gaussian packet summation. Finally, using poststack synthetic data sets of a four‐layer model and the two‐dimensional SEG/EAGE model, we demonstrate the validity and accuracy of the migration method. Compared with the more accurate but more time‐consuming one‐way wave‐equation‐based migration, such as beamlet migration, the Gaussian packet method proposed in this paper can correctly image the major structures of the complex model, especially in subsalt areas, with much higher efficiency. This shows the application potential of Gaussian packet migration in complicated areas.     

复杂地表条件下叠前菲涅尔束偏移方法

高斯束偏移虽然克服了Kirchhoff偏移不能处理多波至和单程波动方程偏移不能对陡倾构造准确成像的问题,但在复杂地表条件下其偏移精度取决于所选择的初始束宽度,即当初始宽度较小时,近地表成像精度较高,但此时中深层成像质量较差;反之当初始宽度较大时,中深层成像质量提高,但近地表成像精度降低.针对高斯束偏移中深层和浅层成像精度的矛盾,本文发展了一种适用于陆地复杂地表条件的叠前菲涅尔束偏移方法.基于惠更斯-菲涅尔原理,本文首先给出了菲涅尔束的概念及其表征的格林函数,并采用有效邻域波场近似理论和反褶积成像条件,导出了复杂地表条件下叠前保幅深度偏移公式.最后,针对常规旁轴射线追踪中的数值噪音,给出了一种压制策略.同高斯束偏移相比,本文方法不仅解决了中深层和浅层成像精度的矛盾,而且提高了复杂地表条件下平面波的分解精度,使得偏移结果更加准确可靠.典型的模型算例验证了本文方法的有效性和稳健性.     

Estimation and application of near‐surface full waveform redatuming operators

Land seismic data quality can be severely affected by near‐surface anomalies. The imprint of a complex near‐surface can be removed by redatuming the data to a level below the surface, from where the subsurface structures are assumed to be relatively smooth. However, to derive a velocity‐depth model that explains the propagation effects of the near‐surface is a non‐trivial task. Therefore, an alternative approach has been proposed, where the redatuming operators are obtained in a data‐driven manner from the reflection event related to the datum. In the current implementation, the estimation of these redatuming operators is done in terms of traveltimes only, based on a high‐frequency approximation. The accompanying amplitudes are usually derived from a local homogeneous medium, which is obviously a simplification of reality. Such parametrization has produced encouraging results in the past but cannot completely remove the near‐surface complexities, leaving artefacts in the redatumed results. In this paper we propose a method that estimates the redatuming operators directly from the data, i.e., without using a velocity model, in a full waveform manner, such that detailed amplitude and phase variations are included. The method directly outputs the inverse propagation operators that are needed for true‐amplitude redatuming. Based on 2D synthetic data it is demonstrated that the resulting redatuming quality is improved and artefacts are reduced.     

Redatuming Operators Analysis in Homogeneous Media

A redatuming operation is used to simulate the acquisition of data in new levels, avoiding distortions produced by near-surface irregularities related to either geometric or material property heterogeneities. In this work, the application of the true-amplitude Kirchhoff redatuming (TAKR) operator on homogeneous media is compared with conventional Kirchhoff redatuming (KR) operator restricted to the zero-offset case. The TAKR and the KR operators are analytically and numerically compared in order to verify their impacts on the data at a new level. Analyses of amplitude and velocity sensitivity of the TAKR and KR were performed: one concerning the difference between the weight functions and the other related to the velocity variation. The comparisons between operators were performed using numerical examples. The feasibility of the KR and TAKR operators was demonstrated not only kinematically but also dynamically for their purposes. In other words, one preserves amplitude (KR), and the other corrects the amplitude (TAKR). In the end, we applied the operators to a GPR data set.

Numerical tests of 3D true-amplitude zero-offset migration1

An amplitude-preserving migration aims at imaging compressional primary (zero-or) non-zero-offset reflections into 3D time or depth-migrated reflections so that the migrated wavefield amplitudes are a measure of angle-dependent reflection coeffcients. The principal objective is the removal of the geometrical-spreading factor of the primary reflections. Various migration/inversion algorithms involving weighted diffraction stacks proposed recently are based on Born or Kirchhoff approximations. Here, a 3D Kirchhoff-type zero-offset migration approach, also known as a diffraction-stack migration, is implemented in the form of a time migration. The primary reflections of the wavefield to be imaged are described a priori by the zero-order ray approximation. The aim of removing the geometrical- spreading loss can, in the zero-offset case, be achieved by not applying weights to the data before stacking them. This case alone has been implemented in this work. Application of the method to 3D synthetic zero-offset data proves that an amplitude-preserving migration can be performed in this way. Various numerical aspects of the true-amplitude zero-offset migration are discussed.     

矢量波场弹性波Kirchhoff偏移

Based on Kuo and Dai＇s vectorial wave-field extrapolation equations, we derive new Kirchhoff migration equations by introducing unit vectors which represent the ray directions at the imaging points of the reflected P- and PS converted-waves. Furthermore, using the slope of the events on shot records and a ray racing procedure, mirror-image reflection points are found and the reflection data are smeared along the Fresnel zone. The migration method proposed in this paper solves two troublesome imaging problems caused by limited receiving aperture and migration artifacts resulting from wave propagation at the velocities of non original wave type. The migration method is applied successfully with model data, demonstrating that the new method is effective and correct.

Reverse time migration with Gaussian beams using optimized ray tracing systems in transversely isotropic media

Prestack depth migration is a key technology for imaging complex reservoirs in media with strong lateral velocity variations. Prestack migrations are broadly separated into ray-based and wave-equation-based methods. Because of its efficiency and flexibility, ray-based Kirchhoff migration is popular in the industry. However, it has difficulties in dealing with the multi-arrivals, caustics and shadow zones. On the other hand, wave-equation-based methods produce images superior to that of the ray-based methods, but they are expensive numerically, especially methods based on two-way propagators in imaging large regions. Therefore, reverse time migration algorithms with Gaussian beams have recently been proposed to reduce the cost, as they combine the high computational efficiency of Gaussian beam migration and the high accuracy of reverse time migration. However, this method was based on the assumption that the subsurface is isotropic. As the acquired azimuth and maximum offsets increase, taking into account the influence of anisotropy on seismic migration is becoming more and more crucial. Using anisotropic ray tracing systems in terms of phase velocity, we proposed an anisotropic reverse time migration using the Gaussian beams method. We consider the influence of anisotropy on the propagation direction and calculate the amplitude of Gaussian beams with optimized correlation coefficients in dynamic ray tracing, which simplifies the calculations and improves the applicability of the proposed method. Numerical tests on anisotropic models demonstrate the efficiency and accuracy of the proposed method, which can be used to image complex structures in the presence of anisotropy in the overburden.     

Target-level waveform inversion: a prospective application of the convolution-type representation for the acoustic wavefield

Nowadays, full-waveform inversion, based on fitting the measured surface data with modelled data, has become the preferred approach to recover detailed physical parameters from the subsurface. However, its application is computationally expensive for large inversion domains. Furthermore, when the subsurface has a complex geological setting, the inversion process requires an appropriate pre-conditioning scheme to retrieve the medium parameters for the desired target area in a reliable manner. One way of dealing with both aspects is by waveform inversion schemes in a target-oriented fashion. Therefore, we propose a prospective application of the convolution-type representation for the acoustic wavefield in the frequency–space domain formulated as a target-oriented waveform inversion method. Our approach aims at matching the observed and modelled upgoing wavefields at a target depth level in the subsurface, where the seismic wavefields, generated by sources distributed above this level, are available. The forward modelling is performed by combining the convolution-type representation for the acoustic wavefield with solving the two-way acoustic wave-equation in the frequency–space domain for the target area. We evaluate the effectiveness of our inversion method by comparing it with the full-domain full-waveform inversion process through some numerical examples using synthetic data from a horizontal well acquisition geometry, where the sources are located at the surface and the receivers are located along a horizontal well at the target level. Our proposed inversion method requires less computational effort and, for this particular acquisition, it has proven to provide more accurate estimates of the target zone below a complex overburden compared to both full-domain full-waveform inversion process and local full-waveform inversion after applying interferometry by multidimensional deconvolution to get local-impulse responses.

叠前地震数据特征波场分解、偏移成像与层析反演

本文提出了一套叠前地震数据稀疏表达(特征波场合成)、深度偏移成像和层析成像的处理流程.不同于传统的变换域中的数据稀疏表达理论,本文利用局部平面波的传播方向(慢度矢量),在中心炮检点处同时进行波束合成,从而将地震数据投影到局部平面波域(高维空间)中.由于波束合成后的地震数据描述了局部平面波的方向特征,因此称之为特征波场.然而波束合成算法需要估计局部平面波的慢度矢量.当地震数据受噪声干扰时,难以在常规τ-p谱中自动估计局部平面波的射线参数(慢度矢量).本文提出了基于反演理论的特征波场合成方法,可以同时反演局部平面波及其传播方向,从而提高特征波合成的自动化程度并保持方法的稳健性.通过特征波场合成,可以将地震数据分解为单独的震相(波形).这样的数据可以直接用来成像及反演.在局部平面波域中,由于局部平面波的入射与出射射线参数已知,传统的Kirchhoff叠前深度偏移(PSDM)和高斯束/控制束PSDM可以实现从"沿等时面的画弧"到"向反射点(段)的直接投影"的转变,叠前偏移的效率以及成像质量可以同时提高.此外,特征波场与地下反射点(段)的一对一映射关系使得叠前深度偏移与层析成像融为一体,可以极大地提高速度反演的效率.数值试验证明了特征波场合成、叠前深度成像以及层析反演的有效性.
