基于成像射线的偏移剖面和速度时深转换评述

深度域地震波速度模型是地震勘探中最重要的参数之一,是获得精确深度域偏移剖面的基础.本文基于成像射线的概念,阐述了时间偏移域和深度域之间的关系,明确了时间偏移后的像点是通过成像射线与深度域的散射点联系起来的.在有横向变速的情况下,时间偏移剖面需要经过时深转换才能真实反映深度域层位,同样,从时间偏移剖面上提取的速度也需要经过时深转换才能得到深度域的速度.与前者不同的是,在速度的时深转换中,不仅速度的位置需要改变,且其数值也需要进行校正.该校正因子有几种等价的描述形式：度规量、速度扩散因子和几何扩散因子.     

Remigration of ground-penetrating radar data

Optimal electromagnetic wave propagation velocities and subsurface images for ground-penetrating radar (GPR) data can be specified by using an imaging scanning method. In addition to time-migrating the unmigrated GPR section, we remigrate the already time-migrated section by a one-step remigration operator using different velocities. This creates many time-migrated images for different constant migration velocities. In this way, the computation time for time-migration is very much reduced. Time-migrated reflector images `propagate' when the constant migration velocity is continuously changed. For this `propagation' there exists a wave-equation-type partial differential equation. Each time-migrated section can thus be viewed as a snapshot for a certain migration velocity. The time-migrated reflector images behave like `waves', called image waves. This is applied to real GPR data acquired over a concrete body within which a steel cable frame is buried. The method produces a quick velocity scan to find a reliable migration velocity leading to the best time-migrated image.     

Depth migration of shot records in heterogeneous, transversely isotropic media using optimum explicit operators

A space–frequency domain 2D depth-migration scheme is generalized for imaging in the presence of anisotropy. The anisotropy model used is that of a transversely isotropic (TI) medium with a symmetry axis that can be either vertical or tilted. In the proposed scheme the anisotropy is described in terms of Thomsen parameters; however, the scheme can accommodate a wide range of anisotropy rather than only weak anisotropy. Short spatial convolution operators are used to extrapolate the wavefields recursively in the space–frequency domain for both qP- and qSV-waves. The weighted least-squares method for designing isotropic optimum operators is extended to asymmetric optimum explicit extrapolation operators in the presence of TI media with a tilted symmetry axis. Additionally, an efficient weighted quadratic-programming design method is developed. The short spatial length of the derived operators makes it possible for the proposed scheme to handle lateral inhomogeneities. The performance of the operators, designed by combining the weighted least-squares and weighted quadratic-programming methods, is demonstrated by migration impulse responses of qP and qSV propagation modes for the weak and strong TI models with both vertical and tilted symmetry axes. Finally, a table-driven shot-record depth-migration scheme is proposed, which is illustrated for finite-difference modelled shot records in TI media.

二阶精度广义非线性全局最优的偏移速度反演方法(英文)

如何快速、精确地利用叠前深度偏移进行偏移速度分析是勘探地震学的一项重要研究内容,针对该问题,本文提出一种二阶精度广义非线性全局最优的偏移速度反演方法。我们将首先去掉速度模型修正量与成象深度差呈线性关系的假设,推导出具有二阶精度的速度模型修正量计算公式,使每一次迭代得到的速度模型尽可能地接近实际模型;然后采用广义非线性反演方法反演获得对所有道集的全局最优的速度模型修正量,不仅极大地加快了收敛速度,而且反演过程中陷入局部极小的可能性也减小了。理论模型和Marmousi模型的处理结果表明:本方法精度高、处理速度快,提高了偏移速度分析方法的实用性和对复杂构造成像的准确性。

Improved amplitude preservation for prestack depth migration by inverse scattering theory

A prestack reverse time-migration image is not properly scaled with increasing depth. The main reason for the image being unscaled is the geometric spreading of the wavefield arising during the back-propagation of the measured data and the generation of the forward-modelled wavefields. This unscaled image can be enhanced by multiplying the inverse of the approximate Hessian appearing in the Gauss–Newton optimization technique. However, since the approximate Hessian is usually too expensive to compute for the general geological model, it can be used only for the simple background velocity model.We show that the pseudo-Hessian matrix can be used as a substitute for the approximate Hessian to enhance the faint images appearing at a later time in the 2D prestack reverse time-migration sections. We can construct the pseudo-Hessian matrix using the forward-modelled wavefields (which are used as virtual sources in the reverse time migration), by exploiting the uncorrelated structure of the forward-modelled wavefields and the impulse response function for the estimated diagonal of the approximate Hessian. Although it is also impossible to calculate directly the inverse of the pseudo-Hessian, when using the reciprocal of the pseudo-Hessian we can easily obtain the inverse of the pseudo-Hessian. As examples supporting our assertion, we present the results obtained by applying our method to 2D synthetic and real data collected on the Korean continental shelf.     

双复杂介质条件下频率空间域有限差分法保幅偏移

油气勘探的重点正转向复杂地表条件和复杂地质条件的区域.双复杂条件下的叠前深度偏移是解决复杂地表条件和复杂地质构造成像的有效手段.基于“逐步累加”的“直接下延”法是解决复杂地表成像的有效手段,能够较好地消除地形起伏的影响.波动方程频率空间域有限差分(xwfd)叠前深度偏移对介质速度横向变化有较强的适应性,适宜于复杂构造的偏移成像,同其他常规波动方程深度偏移一样,常规的xwfd偏移方法,主要也是针对相位进行波场延拓,没有对振幅做任何处理.我们基于保幅单程波方程,推导出了基于xwfd的保幅波场延拓算子,针对xwfd求解时引入误差的影响,我们在xwfd保幅波场延拓过程中加入了误差补偿,实现了带误差补偿的xwfd保幅偏移.基于带误差补偿的xwfd保幅算子,应用适合起伏地表的直接下延法,对双复杂介质模型和实际资料进行了试算,改善了双复杂介质的成像效果.其中,误差补偿可以在若干个外推步长上进行,所以相对于保幅傅里叶有限差分(ffd)法偏移来说,该方法在改善成像质量的同时,也具有较高的运算效率.     

Double-square-root one-way wave equation prestack tau migration in heterogeneous media

In this paper, source‐receiver migration based on the double‐square‐root one‐way wave equation is modified to operate in the two‐way vertical traveltime (τ) domain. This tau migration method includes reasonable treatment for media with lateral inhomogeneity. It is implemented by recursive wavefield extrapolation with a frequency‐wavenumber domain phase shift in a constant background medium, followed by a phase correction in the frequency‐space domain, which accommodates moderate lateral velocity variations. More advanced τ‐domain double‐square‐root wave propagators have been conceptually discussed in this paper for migration in media with stronger lateral velocity variations. To address the problems that the full 3D double‐square‐root equation prestack tau migration could meet in practical applications, we present a method for downward continuing common‐azimuth data, which is based on a stationary‐phase approximation of the full 3D migration operator in the theoretical frame of prestack tau migration of cross‐line constant offset data. Migrations of synthetic data sets show that our tau migration approach has good performance in strong contrast media. The real data example demonstrates that common‐azimuth prestack tau migration has improved the delineation of the geological structures and stratigraphic configurations in a complex fault area. Prestack tau migration has some inherent robust characteristics usually associated with prestack time migration. It follows a velocity‐independent anti‐aliasing criterion that generally leads to reduction of the computation cost for typical vertical velocity variations. Moreover, this τ‐domain source‐receiver migration method has features that could be of help to speed up the convergence of the velocity estimation.     

Event-oriented velocity estimation based on prestack data in time or depth domain1

A 2D reflection tomographic method is described, for the purpose of estimating an improved macrovelocity field for prestack depth migration. An event-oriented local approach of the ‘layer-stripping’ type has been developed, where each input event is defined by its traveltime and a traveltime derivative, taken with respect to one of four coordinates in the source/receiver and midpoint half-offset systems. Recent work has shown that the results of reflection tomography may be improved by performing event picking in a prestack depth domain. We adopt this approach and allow events to be picked either before or after prestack depth migration. Hence, if events have been picked in a depth domain, such as the common-shot depth domain or the common-offset depth domain, then a depth-time transformation is required before velocity estimation. The event transformation may, for example, be done by conventional kinematic ray tracingr and with respect to the original depth-migration velocity field. By this means, we expect the input events for velocity updating to become less sensitive to migration velocity errors. For the purpose of velocity estimation, events are subdivided into two categories; reference horizon events and individual events. The reference horizon events correspond to a fixed offset in order to provide basic information about reflector geometry, whereas individual events, corresponding to any offset, are supposed to provide the additional information needed for velocity estimation. An iterative updating approach is used, based on calculation of derivatives of event reflection points with respect to velocity. The event reflection points are obtained by ray-theoretical depth conversion, and reflection-point derivatives are calculated accurately and efficiently from information pertaining to single rays. A number of reference horizon events and a single individual event constitute the minimum information required to update the velocity locally, and the iterations proceed until the individual event reflection point is consistent with those of the reference horizon events. Normally, three to four iterations are sufficient to attain convergence. As a by-product of the process, we obtain so-called uncertainty amplification factors, which relate a picking error to the corresponding error in the estimated velocity or depth horizon position. The vector formulation of the updating relationship makes it applicable to smooth horizons having arbitrary dips and by applying velocity updating in combination with a flexible model-builder, very general macro-model structures can be obtained. As a first step in the evaluation of the new method, error-free traveltime events were generated by applying forward ray tracing within given macrovelocity models. When using such ‘perfect’ observations, the velocity estimation algorithm gave consistent reconstructions of macro-models containing interfaces with differential dip and curvature, a low-velocity layer and a layer with a laterally varying velocity function.

叠前逆时偏移影响因素分析

Migration to multiple offset and velocity analysis1

The stacking velocity best characterizes the normal moveout curves in a common-mid-point gather, while the migration velocity characterizes the diffraction curves in a zero-offset section as well as in a common-midpoint gather. For horizontally layered media, the two velocity types coincide due to the conformance of the normal and the image ray. In the case of dipping subsurface structures, stacking velocities depend on the dip of the reflector and relate to normal rays, but with a dip-dependent lateral smear of the reflection point. After dip-moveout correction, the stacking velocities are reduced while the reflection-point smear vanishes, focusing the rays on the common reflection points. For homogeneous media the dip-moveout correction is independent of the actual velocity and can be applied as a dip-moveout correction to multiple offset before velocity analysis. Migration to multiple offset is a prestack, time-migration technique, which presents data sets which mimic high-fold, bin-centre adjusted, common-midpoint gathers. This method is independent of velocity and can migrate any 2D or 3D data set with arbitrary acquisition geometry. The gathers generated can be analysed for normal-moveout velocities using traditional methods such as the interpretation of multivelocity-function stacks. These stacks, however, are equivalent to multi-velocity-function time migrations and the derived velocities are migration velocities.

Topographic elastic least-squares reverse time migration based on vector P- and S-wave equations in the curvilinear coordinates

Elastic least-squares reverse time migration has been applied to multi-component seismic data to obtain high-quality images. However, the final images may suffer from artefacts caused by P- and S-wave crosstalk and severe spurious diffractions caused by complex topographic surface conditions. To suppress these crosstalk artefacts and spurious diffractions, we have developed a topographic separated-wavefield elastic least-squares reverse time migration algorithm. In this method, we apply P- and S-wave separated elastic velocity–stress wave equations in the curvilinear coordinates to derive demigration equations and gradient formulas with respect to P- and S-velocity. For the implementation of topographic separated-wavefield elastic least-squares reverse time migration, the wavefields, gradient directions and step lengths are all calculated in the curvilinear coordinates. Numerical experiments conducted with the two-component data synthetized by a three-topographic-layer with anomalies model and the Canadian Foothills model are considered to verify our method. The results reveal that compared with the conventional method, our method promises imaging results with higher resolution and has a faster residual convergence speed. Finally, we carry out numerical examples on noisy data, imperfect migration velocity and inaccurate surface elevation to analyse its sensitivity to noise, migration velocity and surface elevation error. The results prove that our method is less sensitive to noise compared with the conventional elastic least-squares reverse time migration and needs good migration velocities as other least-squares reverse time migration methods. In addition, when implementing the proposed method, an accurate surface elevation should be obtained by global positioning system to yield high-quality images.
