扩展成像条件下的最小二乘逆时偏移

逆时偏移(RTM)是复杂介质条件下地震成像的重要手段.因受观测系统限制、上覆地层影响以及波场带宽有限等因素的影响,现行的常规RTM所采用的互相关成像条件通常对地下构造进行模糊成像.最小二乘逆时偏移(LSRTM)通过最小化线性Born近似正演数据和采集数据之间的波形差异,采用梯度类反演算法优化反射系数模型,获得的成像结果具有更高的分辨率和更可靠的振幅保真度.然而,基于波形拟合的LSRTM对背景速度模型的依赖性很强.误差太大的速度模型容易产生周波跳跃现象,导致LSRTM难以获得全局最优解.为了克服这一问题,本文基于扩展模型的思想,在线性Born近似下,推导得到RTM扩展成像条件.并基于最小二乘反演理论,提出扩展成像条件下的LSRTM方法.理论模型试算表明,本文方法不仅可以提供分辨率更高、振幅属性更为可靠的成像结果,而且能够在一定程度上消除速度误差对反演成像的影响.     

基于逆散射成像条件的最小二乘逆时偏移

最小二乘逆时偏移（LSRTM）相对于常规逆时偏移（RTM）具有分辨率更高、振幅更准确、噪音更少等优势,可以对复杂的地质构造进行有效的成像.这种迭代更新反演成像方法十分依赖目标函数的梯度质量和计算效率.当地质模型中存在强反射界面或者记录中存在折射波时,基于常规互相关成像条件（CCC）的最小二乘逆时偏移梯度会包含很强的低频噪音,从而使反演的收敛速度和成像质量降低.为此,本文在最小二乘逆时偏移的梯度中引进了逆散射成像条件来压制这种低频噪音,并以此提出基于逆散射成像条件（ISC）的最小二乘逆时偏移方法.数值模拟结果表明,两者计算耗时基本一致,但逆散射成像条件能高效压制梯度中的低频噪音,从而使反演过程中收敛加速,成像质量得到显著提高.

     

表面多次波最小二乘逆时偏移成像

使用相同的炮记录,多次波偏移能提供比反射波偏移更广的地下照明和更多的地下覆盖但是同时产生很多的串声噪声.相比传统逆时偏移,最小二乘逆时偏移反演的反射波成像结果具有更高的分辨率和更均衡的振幅.我们主要利用最小二乘逆时偏移压制多次波偏移产生的串声噪声.多次波最小二乘逆时偏移通常需要一定的迭代次数以较好地消除串声噪声.若提前将一阶多次波从所有阶数的多次波中过滤出来,使用相同的迭代次数,一阶多次波的最小二乘逆时偏移能够得到具有更高信噪比的成像剖面,而且能够提供与多次波最小二乘逆时偏移相似的有效地下结构成像.     

叠前逆时深度偏移中的激发时间成像条件

与其他偏移方法相比,逆时偏移基于精确的波动方程而不是对其近似,用时间外推来代替深度外推.因此,它具有良好的精度,不受地下构造倾角和介质横向速度变化的限制.激发时间成像条件的求取是叠前逆时偏移的难点之一,本文采用求解程函方程的方法得到地下各点的初至波走时,以此作为叠前逆时偏移的成像条件.基于任意矩形网格和局部平面波前近似的有限差分初至波走时计算方法精度较高并适用于强纵横向变速的复杂介质.试算结果表明,在复杂介质模型中利用叠前逆时深度偏移收到了很好的成像效果.     

一种基于逆时偏移的高效照明补偿成像方法

对地震波偏移成像而言,由于观测采集系统不规则、不完备采样以及地下复杂构造对波场传播的影响,在成像点处通常存在照明不均匀的现象,对偏移成像结果进行照明补偿是提高地质体成像精度的有效方法.本文给出了一种基于逆时偏移实现的高效照明补偿成像方法.在高频近似下,本文首先定义了衡量地下照明均匀程度的雅克比矩阵,并以此为基础给出照明...

Layer-stripping reverse-time migration1

We present a layer-stripping method of migration for irregularly layered media in which first-order velocity discontinuities separate regions of constant or smoothly varying velocity. We use the reverse-time method to migrate seismic data layer by layer, from the surface downwards. As part of the migration of a given layer, the bottom boundary of the layer is defined based on power in the migrated signal, and a seismic section is collected along it. This new section serves as the boundary condition for migration in the next layer. This procedure is repeated for each layer, with the final image formed from the individual layer images. Layer-stripping migration consists of three steps: (1) layer definition, (2) wavefield extrapolation and imaging, and (3) boundary determination. The migration scheme when used with reverse-time extrapolation is similar to datuming with an imaging condition. The reverse-time method uses an explicit fourth-order time, tenth-order space, finite-difference approximation to the scalar wave equation. The advantages of layer-stripping reverse-time migration are: (1) it preserves the benefits of the reverse-time method by handling strong velocity contrasts between layers and steeply dipping structures; (2) it reduces computer memory and saves computation time in high-velocity layers, and (3) it allows interpretational control of the image. Post-stack layer-stripping reverse-time migration is illustrated with a synthetic CMP data example. Prestack migration is illustrated with a synthetic data set and with a marine seismic reflection profile across the Santa Maria Basin and the Hosgri Fault in central California.     

Anisotropic reverse-time migration for tilted TI media

Seismic anisotropy in dipping shales results in imaging and positioning problems for underlying structures. We develop an anisotropic reverse‐time depth migration approach for P‐wave and SV‐wave seismic data in transversely isotropic (TI) media with a tilted axis of symmetry normal to bedding. Based on an accurate phase velocity formula and dispersion relationships for weak anisotropy, we derive the wave equation for P‐wave and SV‐wave propagation in tilted transversely isotropic (TTI) media. The accuracy of the P‐wave equation and the SV‐wave equation is analyzed and compared with other acoustic wave equations for TTI media. Using this analysis and the pseudo‐spectral method, we apply reverse‐time migration to numerical and physical‐model data. According to the comparison between the isotropic and anisotropic migration results, the anisotropic reverse‐time depth migration offers significant improvements in positioning and reflector continuity over those obtained using isotropic algorithms.     

基于波场分离理论的逆时偏移成像条件研究及应用

逆时偏移成像方法与其它算法的成像方法相比,由于算法不受地层倾角的限制,因此针对陡倾角构造和复杂地质模型地区的成像有着无可比拟的优越性,特别是在盐丘发育的地区优势更加明显.实际应用过程中,逆时偏移通常是应用互相关成像条件构建成像,然而,这种成像条件会产生低频、强振幅的噪音,如果不能彻底消除这些噪音,那它就会严重影响甚至淹没有效信号,特别是在浅层的强反射界面上方往往会出现大量的低频噪音,从而使得浅层构造基本无法识别.基于传统互相关成像条件的这一局限,本文提供了一个新的成像条件,它能在有效成像的同时消除这些低频、强振幅的干扰噪音;其具体实现思路就是将炮点及检波点波场分离成它们的单程波传播分量,然后采用互相关成像条件对分离后的波场进行成像,从而实现逆时偏移成像.通过对模型数据和实际野外数据的实测,证明了该方法的有效性和适用性.     

Least-squares wave-path migration

We present a new least-squares migration method called least-squares wave-path migration. The proposed method combines an iterative conjugate-gradient solver with a stationary-phase wave-path migration operator. Numerical tests demonstrate that (i) least-squares wave-path migration is computationally more efficient than and almost as accurate as Kirchhoff least-squares migration, and (ii) many of the artefacts seen in wave-path migration images are suppressed after several conjugate-gradient iterations. Previous results have shown that 3D wave-path migration is up to 100 times faster than a standard 3D Kirchhoff migration, but sometimes at the cost of reduced quality. With the proposed least-squares wave-path migration method, the image quality in wave-path migration can be improved at an acceptable increase in computational cost.     

最小二乘傅立叶有限差分偏移

一般偏移算法是用反演算子通过解析方法求解.最小二乘偏移方法采用另一种思路,即采用数值方法,通过解一个线性离散反问题来索求解.这样我们试着寻找一个模型匹配地震数据并能表现出其某些特点来得到偏移图像.最小二乘法能减少偏移赝像,得到更精确的偏移效果.Kirchhoff算子在最小二乘偏移方法中应用较广,但需要较多的迭代次数,而且具有Kirchhoff偏移的缺点.本文把最小二乘方法运用到基于波长延拓的波动方程偏移方法中,为提高最小二乘偏移的效率,可采用效率较高的正传播算子和反传播算子.我们利用效率较高,能适应剧烈横向变速的傅立叶有限差分正传播和反传播算子来做叠后最小二乘偏移.数值实例表明,通过少数的共轭梯度法迭代,就能得到与真实模型差别很微小的偏移效果.对于傅式变换我们采用了数值软件FFTW,其变换速度比常规FFT算法一般要快六倍以上,进一步提高了效率.本文算法很容易在并行机上实现,这些特点在处理大型数据时大有裨益.     

变时间步长有限差分法逆时偏移

逆时偏移因其可以利用多次波和回转波等信息,不受倾角限制对构造进行成像而逐渐成为一个研究的热点.但相对极低的计算效率,成为限制其实际应用的瓶颈之一.针对该问题,本文提出了一种时变的计算范围及可变时间步长的思路,即在不同的时间段内利用不同的时间步长计算相应空间范围内的波场,从而在算法上节省大量的计算时间.该思路简单易行,本文将其应用于有限差分法逆时偏移;通过对理论模型数据进行处理,证明该方案不影响波场计算的精度,并且可以在一定程度上提高计算的效率.     

横向各向同性介质拟声波方程及其在逆时偏移中的应用

地下岩石的速度各向异性影响地震波的传播与成像.横向各向同性(TI)介质为最普遍的等效各向异性模型.引入TI介质拟声波方程可以避免复杂的弹性波方程求解以及各向异性介质波场分离,以满足对纵波成像的实际需要.本文从垂直横向各向同性(VTI)介质弹性波方程出发,推导出正应力表达的拟声波方程以及相应的纵波分量的表达式,进而分析从频散关系得到的拟声波方程的物理意义,而后将拟声波方程扩展到更一般的倾斜横向各向同性(TTI)介质中.波前快照与群速度平面的对比验证了拟声波方程可以很好地近似描述qP波的运动学特征.在此基础上,将拟声波方程应用在逆时偏移中并与其特例声波近似方程进行对比,讨论了计算效率、稳定性等实际问题.数值试验表明VTI介质情况下采用声波近似方程可以提高计算效率,而TTI介质qP-qSV波方程则在效率相当的情况下可以保证稳定性.SEG/HESS模型和逆冲模型逆时偏移试验验证了本文TI介质拟声波方程的实用性.     

Multisource least-squares reverse-time migration with structure-oriented filtering

The technology of simultaneous-source acquisition of seismic data excited by several sources can significantly improve the data collection efficiency. However, direct imaging of simultaneous-source data or blended data may introduce crosstalk noise and affect the imaging quality. To address this problem, we introduce a structure-oriented filtering operator as preconditioner into the multisource least-squares reverse-time migration (LSRTM). The structure-oriented filtering operator is a nonstationary filter along structural trends that suppresses crosstalk noise while maintaining structural information. The proposed method uses the conjugate-gradient method to minimize the mismatch between predicted and observed data, while effectively attenuating the interference noise caused by exciting several sources simultaneously. Numerical experiments using synthetic data suggest that the proposed method can suppress the crosstalk noise and produce highly accurate images.     

格子法在起伏地表叠前逆时深度偏移中的应用

基于全程波波动方程的逆时偏移(Reverse Time Migration)可以对回转波、多次反射波成像,不受横向速度变化影响,没有倾角限制,随着计算机软硬件技术的进步,再次成为偏移方法研究热点.本文将格子法用于叠前逆时深度偏移成像.格子法作为波场延拓方法,处理起伏地表边界条件容易,可用于含起伏地表边界条件的逆时波场延拓;可利用变尺度非规则对计算域进行离散,因此可根据速度模型调整网格尺度来降低存储量,放大时间步长,降低计算量.采用光滑的曲人工边界,也可避免常规的PML吸收边界存在的角点区域需特别处理的麻烦.本方法通过事先计算和存储边界单元的局部几何参数,与直边界PML方法相比不增加任何计算量.格子法还具有容易实现并行计算的特点,非常适用于叠前逆时偏移.本文给出了二维问题算例.     

TTI介质叠前逆时偏移成像研究综述

逆时偏移是基于双程波波动方程进行波场逆时外推,再利用成像条件提取成像值,进而实现偏移成像的一种方法.目前,RTM已经由各向同性介质推广到了TI介质,包括VTI介质和TTI介质.考虑了各向异性因素的逆时偏移技术能更好地满足日益增长的勘探精度的要求,进一步提高和改善成像效果.在回顾各向异性介质逆时偏移发展历史的基础之上,本文针对于国内外TTI介质逆时偏移当前的研究现状进行了概述,并对目前TTI介质逆时偏移方法中所存在的特有的数值稳定性和qSV波人为干扰压制问题的解决方法进行了归纳总结.最后对逆时偏移未来的发展方向和研究重点进行了展望.     

Viscoacoustic least-squares reverse-time migration of different-order free-surface multiples

Multiples have longer propagation paths and smaller reflection angles than primaries for the same source–receiver combination, so they cover a larger illumination area. Therefore, multiples can be used to image shadow zones of primaries. Least-squares reverse-time migration of multiples can produce high-quality images with fewer artefacts, high resolution and balanced amplitudes. However, viscoelasticity exists widely in the earth, especially in the deep-sea environment, and the influence of Q attenuation on multiples is much more serious than primaries due to multiples have longer paths. To compensate for Q attenuation of multiples, Q-compensated least-squares reverse-time migration of different-order multiples is proposed by deriving viscoacoustic Born modelling operators, adjoint operators and demigration operators for different-order multiples. Based on inversion theory, this method compensates for Q attenuation along all the propagation paths of multiples. Examples of a simple four-layer model, a modified attenuating Sigsbee2B model and a field data set suggest that the proposed method can produce better imaging results than Q-compensated least-squares reverse-time migration of primaries and regular least-squares reverse-time migration of multiples.     

Variable-grid reverse-time migration of different seismic survey data

With an increasing demand for high-resolution imaging of complex subsurface structures, thin layers and hidden reservoirs, borehole and cross-well seismic migration methods have become important. However, large differences are observed in the frequency bandwidth between the surface, borehole, and cross-well surveys. Thus, variable-gridbased algorithms have been adapted to reverse-time migration. Further, we introduce Lanczos filtering to ensure the stability of wavefield calculations as well as to decrease the artificial reflections that are caused due to the variable grid size. Finally, we observe that the application of this method to surface survey, borehole, and cross-well seismic data suggests improvements in the delineation of minor fractures and steeply dipping faults.     

黏声介质最小平方逆时偏移

介质的黏滞性是普遍存在的.黏滞性介质中的真振幅成像需要校正由介质的黏滞性引起的振幅衰减与速度频散,然而常规的反Q偏移方法存在不稳定问题.本文在反演的框架下求解黏声介质成像问题,在有效避开不稳定的同时实现真振幅成像.首先将波动方程线性化,并依此建立黏声介质最小平方逆时偏移（LSRTM）的目标函数;然后推导波动方程伴随算子,并在此基础上借助伴随状态法推导迭代求解的具体算法;最后通过引入动态相位编码技术将计算量降至与常规逆时偏移相同的数量级.该方法在真振幅成像过程中考虑了介质黏滞性的影响,更接近实际情况,具有更好的振幅保持性.相对于常规逆时偏移,该方法能够自动压制成像噪声,具有更高的成像分辨率及精度.通过模型试算验证了方法的正确性.
