基于正演模拟的薄层时频特征响应分析是薄层定性识别与厚度定量预测的基础与关键.本文基于波场延拓理论,利用深度域相移法对不同厚度薄层进行了正演模拟.采用广义S变换对零偏移距地震道的反射复合波进行瞬时频谱分析,发现当薄层顶底反射系数极性相反时,复合波的干涉作用具有升频降幅作用,而极性相同时具有升幅降频作用;理论推导和实验分析均证明主峰值频率与薄层双程旅行时间厚度存在定量解析关系,这为薄层厚度定量预测提供了重要的技术手段;由于峰值频率对反射系数大小与极性变化不敏感,因此,峰值频率方法与时域振幅方法相比更具稳定性.

隔夹层作为单砂层与薄互层、薄互层与薄互层之间的过渡型地层,对不同薄互层单元具有重要的分隔作用.厘清单砂层与隔夹层之间时频特征的区别与联系,对后续的薄互层单元划分与预测具有重要意义.本文基于波动理论,利用深度域相移法对不同厚度的单砂层、对称型隔夹层进行正演模拟.采用广义S变换分析零偏移距地震道反射复合波的瞬时频谱,提取单砂层与对称型隔夹层时域、频域属性参数进行对比分析.研究发现:当对称型隔夹层顶部砂岩与中部泥岩厚度之和与顶底反射系数同号的单砂层厚度相同时,二者频谱特征极为相似,时域波形存在镜像关系.当对称型隔夹层顶部砂岩与中部泥岩厚度之和与顶底反射系数异号的单砂层厚度相同时,二者频谱特征存在明显差异,这为砂泥岩剖面中单砂层与对称型隔夹层的定性区分奠定了理论基础.此外,对称型隔夹层的第一陷频频率与顶部砂岩和中部泥岩厚度之和具有近似的反比关系,这为对称型隔夹层厚度预测提供了重要技术手段.

逆时偏移震源子波影响分析

逆时偏移作为一种先进的地震偏移成像方法,其成像结果的好坏取决于很多因素,其中成像奈件是关键的一个因素.成像条件一般采用互相关成像条件,它是将源波场沿时间进行正推,接收波场沿时间进行逆推,然后将源波场和接收波场进行互相关,从而得到偏移成像结果.源波场正推和接收波场逆推都是采用同一个波动方程,这里采用波动方程一阶应力-速度形式,数值计算方法采用交错网格有限差分方法.采用振幅补偿拉普拉斯滤波方法压制逆时偏移成像中的低频噪声.采用三次样条插值方法解决逆时偏移成像中的波形不光滑问题.在接收波场逆推过程中,是将地震记录作为边界条件.而在源波场正推过程中,需要给定震源子波作为初值条件.理论上来讲,震源子波为脉冲时是最佳的,但在实际当中难以实现.在源波场正推时,一般采用子波函数.子波函数形式非常多,最常用的是雷克子波.不同主频震源子波产生的源波场频率也不同,从而导致逆时偏移互相关成像效果也不同.那么震源子波主频对逆时偏移成像影响到底有多大呢?为了简便,本文基于不同主频雷克子波,初步分析了相应的逆时偏移成像效果,同时对速度模型存在不同误差时的情形也进行了试验分析.结果 表明:在不同速度误差情况下,震源子波主频越低,成像同相轴连续性越好,散射点聚焦能量越强;震源子波主频越高,虽然分辨率提高,但成像同相轴连续性变差,散射点聚焦能量变弱,同时背景噪声增强.本文研究结果对逆时偏移成像技术在实践中的应用具有一定的参考价值.     

薄互层弹性波反演面临的困境

对于薄互层地震传播特征的研究我们已有了充分的认识,这是一种完全不同于现有的基于厚层单阻抗差界面地震反射理论的、具有频率依赖性的调谐反射.因而也使得对具有N层结构的弹性介质薄互层反演时,现有有限带宽的基于空间-频率域采样的地震观测难以规避多解性问题.长波长假设下的薄互层VTI近似似乎可以为我们提供一种待反演弹性参数只有5个的可行性方案,使得我们可以将薄互层背景下任一目标薄层的反演看作VTI厚层介质背景下单薄层的反演.但是,我们首先面临薄互层VTI近似的误差和适用性条件等问题;其次,既使对于单薄层厚度的反演,目前地震领域也未能提供一种通用有效的解决方案,实际地震勘探中薄层厚度的预测依然是一个悬而未决的难题.因此在此基础上再进行单薄层的物性参数、裂缝隙和流体的预测则更叠加了难以预知的多解性.显然单纯P波已难以应对,弹性波的介入成为必然;而且单薄层含裂缝与流体的预测更需要横波分裂和双相介质理论的支撑.可以预见的是,除了纵、横波速度,薄互层反射系数的频率依赖性是我们试图给出相对可靠的、单薄层物性精细刻画必须使用的一种重要地震属性.

薄互层地震成像中高分辨率处理方法

地震子波在叠前时间偏移前、偏移过程中以及偏移后具有不同特性和非稳态性,使得基于子波压缩原理的反褶积和基于绕射叠加原理的叠前时间偏移不能有效地提高薄互层地震分辨率.本文基于叠前时间偏移前后以及偏移过程中地震子波频率特性的分析,联合三种高分辨率处理方法对薄互层进行成像,即偏移前CMP道集应用反Q滤波补偿高频衰减、偏移过程中应用最优加权Kirchhoff叠前时间偏移降低高频损失、偏移后在CRP道集上应用子波调谐反褶积拓展频带.数值分析和实例证明,本文采用的三种高分辨率处理方法是必要的,对刻画薄互层厚度与边界能够取得好的效果,利于后续的岩性储层预测与AVO/AVP/AVA反演.     

各向同性薄层反射理论地震图

本文在各向同性介质假设下,计算了薄层顶、底反射P波和PS波的理论地震图.理论模拟发现薄层的反射P波与PS波是一复合波,包括层内的多次透射和反射转换波型,且具有类似单一界面反射的、脉冲式的波形特征.两类薄层反射整体振幅随着薄层厚度的降低而缩小;在地震子波主频40 Hz条件下,2 m左右厚度的薄层反射相比单一界面反射具有等同的振幅水平.1 m以下极薄层仅有弱反射甚至无反射;薄层反射复合波振幅与炮检距的关系依然成立,但不惟一;单界面反射AVO原理、方法不适用于薄层反射解释与反演.     

基于频率域峰值属性的河道砂体定量预测及应用(英文)

河道砂体是陆相含油气盆地最重要的储集类型之一,其边界识别和厚度定量预测是储层预测的热点难题。本文在总结现有方法技术的基础上,提出一种利用频率域峰值属性进行河道砂体边界识别和厚度定量预测的新方法。对典型河道薄砂体地震反射进行了正演模拟,构造了一种新的地震属性——峰值频率-振幅比,研究表明:峰值频率属性对地层厚度变化敏感,振幅属性对地层岩性变化敏感,两者比值突出河道砂体的边界,同时,借助峰值频率与薄层厚度间存在的定量关系进行薄砂体厚度计算。实际数据应用表明,地震峰值频率属性可以较好的刻画河道的平面展布特征;峰值频率-振幅比属性可以提高对河道砂体边界的识别能力;利用频率域地震属性进行砂体边界识别及厚度定量预测是可行的。     

频谱成像技术在稠油热采地震监测中的应用

频谱成像技术可有效的描述地质反射层厚度的非连续性和岩性的非均质性,其在理论上主要是依据薄层反射的调谐原理,过去通常采用以离散傅里叶变换为基础的算法,但是,该方法存在着明显的局限性,因为估算的地震振幅谱的重要特征是所选时窗长度的函数.如果所选时窗过短,振幅谱会与变换窗函数褶积,失去频率的局部化特征,而且过短的时窗会使子波的旁瓣呈现为单一反射的假象.增加时窗长度,会改善频率的分辨率.但如果所选时窗过长,时窗内的多个反射会使振幅谱以槽痕为特征,很难分清单个反射的振幅谱特征.由于在实际运用中,以傅里叶变换相关的算法的时窗问题,难以选择好时窗长度,而且无法定量分析时窗长度产生的偏差,因而会使振幅谱的估算产生偏差.以小波变换为基础的时频分析技术成了非平稳性信号的重要分析工具,在很多实际应用中已取代了傅里叶变换的分析方法.以小波变换为基础的瞬时谱分析技术能得到精确的时频分析结果,同时避免了时窗问题.它反映出了储层在纵向上时间及厚度上变化情况和横向上的地质不连续性的信息,因此能使解释人员快速而有效地描述储层特征的空间变化.     

DETECTION AND RESOLUTION OF THIN LAYERS: A MODEL SEISMIC STUDY1

The detection and resolution of a thin layer closely situated above a high-impedance basement are predominantly determined by both the frequency content of the incident seismic wavelet and the existence of the nearby high-impedance bedrock. The separation of the thin layer and the basement arrivals is investigated depending on the low-frequency content of the wavelet. The high-frequency content of the wavelet is kept constant. The initial wavelet spectrum with low frequencies has a rectangular shape. All wavelets used have zero-phase characteristics. Numerical and analogue seismic modelling techniques are used. The study is based on the geology of the Pachangchi Sandstone in West Taiwan. Firstly the resolution of a thin layer between two half-spaces is examined by applying the Ricker and De Voogd-Den Rooijen criteria. The lack of low-frequency components of the incident seismic wavelet reduces the shortest true two-way traveltime by about 20%. In addition, low-frequency components of the wavelet diminish the deviation between true and apparent two-way traveltime by about 65% for layer thicknesses in the transition from a thick to a thin layer. The second step deals with the influence of a high-impedance basement just below a thin layer on the detection and resolution of that thin layer. Reflected signal energies and apparent two-way traveltimes are considered. The reflected signal energy depends on the low-frequency content of the incident wavelet, the layer's thickness and the distance between the basement and the layer. This applies only to layers with thicknesses less than or equal to one-third of the mean wavelength in the layer, and a distance to basement in the range of one to one-half of the mean wavelength in the rock material between layer and basement. The minimum thin-layer thickness resolvable decreases with increasing distance to the basement; i.e. for a layer thickness of one-third of the mean wavelength in the layer the relative error of the two-way traveltime increases from 5% to 30%, if the distance is reduced from one to one-half of the mean wavelength in the material between the basement and the thin layer. Finally, a combination of vertical seismic profiling and downward-continuation techniques is presented as a preprocessing procedure to prepare realistic data for the detection and resolution investigation.     

Integrating seismic attributes in the accurate modeling of geological structures and determining the storage of the gas reservoir in Gorgan Plain (North of Iran)

Three dimensional seismic operation of Gorgan Plain was studied around a well, which is situated in North of Iran following the hitting of a thin overpressure gas layer (thickness of 9.6 m), with the purpose of the accurate modeling of geological structures and determining the approximate gas storages. The geological structures of the reservoir were modeled using the seismic attributes (coherence, instantaneous amplitude and spectral decomposition (FFT)). The obtained results clearly demonstrated the shape and volume of the existing structural traps in the studied area. In order to estimate the thickness of gas layer in the 3D seismic volume and determining the gas storage, the thickness changes based on the seismic amplitudes were used because its thickness was less than the critical resolution thickness for this layer. However, due to its low thickness, the lack of indicator peak in seismic sections and strong faults of area, it was difficult to pursue this layer in the seismic volume and map its exact amplitude. Considering this issue, a new method with integrating of seismic attributes was recommended. First, the instantaneous amplitude attribute of the thin reservoir layer reflector in computed synthetic seismogram were fabricated and then the frequency regarding the highest amount (dominant frequency) was chosen by Fourier Transform. Finally, spectral decomposition (FFT) with the resulting frequency was gained over the cross-section of the layer's instantaneous amplitude attribute in the 3D seismic volume choosing a proper time window. In such a situation, an increase of its thickness was seen as its amplitude increase and the minimum gas storage of this reservoir was calculated using the area of the restricted part of high thickness (over 9.6 m).     

VTI介质中非线性对地震波频率和频宽变化的约束

采用改进型FCT有限差分法分别模拟各向同性、具有垂直对称轴的横向各向同性(VTI)以及非线性VTI介质中地震波场，随后采用小波分析探讨VTI介质中非线性对地震波频率和频宽变化的约束.数值模拟及分析结果表明：介质各向异性会引发地震记录中各波型的能量随炮检距的变化，而介质各向异性与非线性的耦合作用则会进一步加剧这种变化.在遵守能量守恒原理的前提下，介质的非线性会引发地震波场中各波型间能量的再分配.同时还会引发地震波速度的波动，且随着入射角的增大，波动幅度变小.这些现象在频率域内的响应表现为主频和频宽的降低或增大、地震记录中与各波型相对应的瞬时主频和频宽峰值出现时刻的偏移以及它们随炮检距变化而表现出的幅值波动.在本文给定的弱非线性介质中（非线性炽较薄且远离震源），在震源能量较低的情况下，介质的非线性效应会造成地震波瞬时主频和频宽相对于线性介质情况分别为1/10～1/4和1/10～1/3左右的变化量.此外，随着入射波能量的下降，介质非线性所造成的地震波瞬时特征（振幅、主频、频宽）的变化量减小，但随着地震波在穿越非线性介质时路径的加长，非线性作用的累积效应使得波形畸变和频率分布特征的变化（尤其是频宽）等现象得以维持.     

Wavelet‐based cepstrum decomposition of seismic data and its application in hydrocarbon detection

How to use cepstrum analysis for reservoir characterization and hydrocarbon detection is an initial question of great interest to exploration seismologists. In this paper, wavelet‐based cepstrum decomposition is proposed as a valid technology for enhancing geophysical responses in specific frequency bands, in the same way as traditional spectrum decomposition methods do. The calculation of wavelet‐based cepstrum decomposition, which decomposes the original seismic volume into a series of common quefrency volumes, employs a sliding window to move over each seismic trace sample by sample. The key factor in wavelet‐based cepstrum decomposition is the selection of the sliding‐window length as it limits the frequency ranges of the common quefrency section. Comparison of the wavelet‐based cepstrum decomposition with traditional spectrum decomposition methods, such as short‐time Fourier transform and wavelet transform, is conducted to demonstrate the effectiveness of the wavelet‐based cepstrum decomposition and the relation between these two technologies. In hydrocarbon detection, seismic amplitude anomalies are detected using wavelet‐based cepstrum decomposition by utilizing the first and second common quefrency sections. This reduces the burden of needing dozens of seismic volumes to represent the response to different mono‐frequency sections in the interpretation of spectrum decomposition in conventional spectrum decomposition methods. The model test and the application of real data acquired from the Sulige gas field in the Ordos Basin, China, confirm the effectiveness of the seismic amplitude anomaly section using wavelet‐based cepstrum decomposition for discerning the strong amplitude anomalies at a particular quefrency buried in the broadband seismic response. Wavelet‐based cepstrum decomposition provides a new method for measuring the instantaneous cepstrum properties of a reservoir and offers a new field of processing and interpretation of seismic reflection data.
