Multiwave velocity analysis based on Gaussian beam prestack depth migration

Prestack depth migration of multicomponent seismic data improves the imaging accuracy of subsurface complex geological structures. An accurate velocity field is critical to accurate imaging. Gaussian beam migration was used to perform multicomponent migration velocity analysis of PP- and PS-waves. First, PP- and PS-wave Gaussian beam prestack depth migration algorithms that operate on common-offset gathers are presented to extract offset-domain common-image gathers of PP- and PS-waves. Second, based on the residual moveout equation, the migration velocity fields of P- and S-waves are updated. Depth matching is used to ensure that the depth of the target layers in the PP- and PS-wave migration profiles are consistent, and high-precision P- and S-wave velocities are obtained. Finally, synthetic and field seismic data suggest that the method can be used effectively in multiwave migration velocity analysis.     

Bayesian Markov chain Monte Carlo inversion for anisotropy of PP- and PS-wave in weakly anisotropic and heterogeneous media

A single set of vertically aligned cracks embedded in a purely isotropic background may be considered as a long-wavelength effective transversely isotropy (HTI) medium with a horizontal symmetry axis. The crack-induced HTI anisotropy can be characterized by the weakly anisotropic parameters introduced by Thomsen. The seismic scattering theory can be utilized for the inversion for the anisotropic parameters in weakly anisotropic and heterogeneous HTI media. Based on the seismic scattering theory, we first derived the linearized PP- and PS-wave reflection coefficients in terms of P- and S-wave impedances, density as well as three anisotropic parameters in HTI media. Then, we proposed a novel Bayesian Markov chain Monte Carlo inversion method of PP- and PS-wave for six elastic and anisotropic parameters directly. Tests on synthetic azimuthal seismic data contaminated by random errors demonstrated that this method appears more accurate, anti-noise and stable owing to the usage of the constrained PS-wave compared with the standards inversion scheme taking only the PP-wave into account.     

基于吸收衰减补偿的多分量高斯束逆时偏移

高斯束逆时偏移结合了射线类偏移的高计算效率和波动方程逆时偏移的高精度,能很好地处理焦散点、大倾角成像问题,并且具有面向目标成像的能力.多分量地震资料的偏移技术可以对地下复杂构造进行更准确的成像,由于实际地下介质具有黏滞性,研究黏弹性叠前逆时偏移具有一定的现实意义.本文采用高斯束逆时偏移方法对多分量地震数据进行吸收衰减补偿,首先分别给出纵波和转换波共炮域高斯束叠前逆时偏移方法原理,在此基础上推导补偿吸收衰减的表达式,校正Q引起的振幅衰减和相位畸变,实现基于吸收衰减补偿的多分量高斯束叠前逆时偏移.数值模型的测试结果显示,在考虑地下介质的黏滞性时,本文方法具有更高的成像分辨率.     

平均入射角道集PP波与PS波联合反演

在界面两侧地层的弹性参数弱反差的假设难以成立的情况下,本文提出用平均入射角道集进行PP波与PS波的联合反演.首先,在PP波与PS波AVA(amplitude versus angle,振幅随入射角变化)道集的基础上,分别选择小入射角范围与大入射角范围的AVA道集进行局部加权叠加,以获得由两个角度组成的平均入射角道集,并作为后续反演的输入数据.然后,再通过最小二乘原理建立了PP波与PS波联合反演目标函数,推导了模型修改量的向量公式,建立了平均入射角道集联合反演的流程.模型数据与实际数据的测试结果表明:在信噪比较低、地层弹性参数反差较大、层厚较薄的情况下,该反演方法的精度在很大程度上超过了基于近似反射系数的反演方法,为复杂油气藏勘探提供了新的思路.

单程波角度域内压制多次波偏移假象

多次波偏移中的假象主要来自于不同地震事件之间的互相关,由于这种互相关满足成像条件,很难直接在偏移过程中去除.但是对于准确的速度模型,真实的成像结果在角度域内应该是平直的.根据这个判断准则,可以在角度域内移除多次波偏移中的假象.本文以数据自相关偏移为例,提出了在单程波多次波偏移中移除假象的主要流程:首先在在单程波偏移过程中高效地提取角度域共成像点道集,然后对角度域共成像点道集应用高分辨率的抛物线型Radon变换,用合适的切除函数处理后,反变换回到角度域,最后叠加各个角度成分,得到偏移结果.Marmousi模型的合成数据测试表明,这种方法可以很好地压制多次波偏移过程中产生的假象,有效地提高成像结果的信噪比.

随着我国陆上地震勘探向复杂地表探区的转移,高精度、适应性强的地震成像方法在地震资料的处理、解释及后续属性分析、储层预测中具有重要意义.本文基于有效邻域波场近似理论发展了一种成像精度更高且适用于复杂起伏地表条件的叠前保幅高斯束偏移方法.在传统水平地表高斯束偏移的基础上,本文根据中心射线附近有效邻域内高斯束表征的近似波场,导出了起伏地表条件下具有相对振幅保持的高斯束偏移公式,并给出了一种精度更高的旁轴射线传播角度计算方法.同现有的高斯束偏移方法相比,本文方法不仅考虑了起伏地表对高斯束走时的线性影响,而且首次引入了由地表高程差异和近地表速度变化引起的二次时差校正项和振幅校正项,使得成像结果更加准确可靠.两个典型模型算例验证了本文方法的正确性和有效性.     

Extraction of amplitude-preserving angle gathers based on vector wavefield reverse-time migration

Angle-domain common-image gathers (ADCIGs) transformed from the shotdomain common-offset gathers are input to migration velocity analysis (MVA) and prestack inversion. ADCIGs are non-illusion prestack inversion gathers, and thus, accurate. We studied the extraction of elastic-wave ADCIGs based on amplitude-preserving elastic-wave reversetime migration for calculating the incidence angle of P-and S-waves at each image point and for different source locations. The P-and S-waves share the same incident angle, namely the incident angle of the source P-waves. The angle of incidence of the source P-wavefield was the difference between the source P-wave propagation angle and the reflector dips. The propagation angle of the source P-waves was obtained from the polarization vector of the decomposed P-waves. The reflectors’ normal direction angle was obtained using the complex wavenumber of the stacked reverse-time migration (RTM) images. The ADCIGs of P-and S-waves were obtained by rearranging the common-shot migration gathers based on the incident angle. We used a horizontally layered model, the graben medium model, and part of the Marmousi-II elastic model and field data to test the proposed algorithm. The results suggested that the proposed method can efficiently extract the P-and S-wave ADCIGs of the elastic-wave reverse-time migration, the P-and S-wave incident angle, and the angle-gather amplitude fidelity, and improve the MVA and prestack inversion.     

Elastic reverse-time migration based on amplitude-preserving P- and S-wave separation

Imaging the PP- and PS-wave for the elastic vector wave reverse-time migration requires separating the P- and S-waves during the wave field extrapolation. The amplitude and phase of the P- and S-waves are distorted when divergence and curl operators are used to separate the P- and S-waves. We present a P- and S-wave amplitude-preserving separation algorithm for the elastic wavefield extrapolation. First, we add the P-wave pressure and P-wave vibration velocity equation to the conventional elastic wave equation to decompose the P- and S-wave vectors. Then, we synthesize the scalar P- and S-wave from the vector Pand S-wave to obtain the scalar P- and S-wave. The amplitude-preserved separated P- and S-waves are imaged based on the vector wave reverse-time migration (RTM). This method ensures that the amplitude and phase of the separated P- and S-wave remain unchanged compared with the divergence and curl operators. In addition, after decomposition, the P-wave pressure and vibration velocity can be used to suppress the interlayer reflection noise and to correct the S-wave polarity. This improves the image quality of P- and S-wave in multicomponent seismic data and the true-amplitude elastic reverse time migration used in prestack inversion.     

TI介质局部角度域高斯束叠前深度偏移成像

各向异性射线理论基础上的局部角度域叠前深度偏移方法能够为深度域构造成像与基于角道集的层析反演提供有力支撑,但是对于复杂地质构造而言,高斯度叠前深度偏移在不失高效、灵活等特点的情况下,具有明显的精度优势.为此,本文研究局部角度域理论框架下的高斯束叠前深度偏移方法.为提高算法效率与实用性,文中讨论了一种从经典弹性参数表征的各向异性介质运动学和动力学射线方程演变而来的由相速度表征的简便形式,并提出了一种比较经济的各向异性高斯束近似合成方案.结合地震波局部角度域成像原理,讨论一种适合高斯束偏移的角度参数计算方法.国际上通用的理论模型合成数据试验表明：相比局部角度域Kirchhoff叠前深度偏移成像方法,本文方法具有更高的成像精度与抗噪能力,既适用于复杂构造成像,也可为TI介质深度域偏移速度分析与模型建立提供高效的偏移引擎.     

基于黏声介质的角度域高斯束逆时偏移方法研究

高斯束逆时偏移是一种兼具计算效率和成像精度的深度域成像方法,能够面向目标成像.地下介质中黏滞性普遍存在,利用传统各向同性或完全弹性的成像方法处理黏滞性探区的数据会降低分辨率,并导致成像位置不准确和振幅欠估计等问题.本文在高斯束逆时偏移的基础上,通过对震源点和检波点处的波场进行衰减补偿,并结合高斯束求解时的角度信息,实现了黏声介质角度域高斯束逆时偏移方法.最后通过模型和实际资料试算对本文方法的正确性和适用性进行了验证.试算结果表明:相比于声波高斯束逆时偏移,本文方法能够对黏滞性引起的吸收衰减进行有效补偿,同时提取的角度域共成像点道集(ADCIGs)不仅可以用于分角度叠加成像压制成像噪声,而且能够为后续的偏移速度分析提供支撑.     

黏声介质平面波有限差分叠前深度偏移及在莺歌海盆地的应用

莺琼盆地诸探区中存在底劈现象,深层气源产生的气体沿底劈产生的裂隙通道向上漫溢.漫溢过程中,一是充填在遇到的砂体中形成气藏;二是弥漫在上溢通道中,使得通道中的纵波速度发生变化,进而纵波波阻抗差异变小,反射变弱.另外,通道中气体的存在,会加强地层的吸收衰减,使得地震波振幅变弱、高频成分损失导致同相轴分辨率降低.利用OBC数据进行多波地震勘探和利用黏声介质的叠前深度偏移都是改善模糊区成像质量的重要方法技术.为此,本文提出用黏声介质平面波有限差分法叠前深度偏移成像方法改善气体充填区域的成像质量.黏声介质成像目的是补偿地震波的吸收衰减;平面波偏移成像目的是适应海上单炮数量巨大,提高波动方程叠前深度偏移成像的效率;有限差分法叠前偏移的目的是适应该区浅层气分布局域性极强、Q值的空间变化大的情况.在莺歌海某探区的实际数据上的黏声介质平面波有限差分叠前深度偏移试验证明,本方法是改善模糊区成像质量的较为有效的途径.     

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.

Study and application of PS-wave pre-stack migration in HTI media and an anisotropic correction method

Anisotropy correction is necessary during the processing of converted PSwave seismic data to achieve accurate structural imaging, reservoir prediction, and fracture detection. To effectively eliminate the adverse effects of S-wave splitting and to improve PSwave imaging quality, we tested methods for pre-stack migration imaging and anisotropic correction of PS-wave data. We based this on the propagation rules of seismic waves in a horizontal transverse isotropy medium, which is a fractured medium model that reflects likely subsurface conditions in the field. We used the radial (R) and transverse (T) components of PS-wave data to separate the fast and slow S-wave components, after which their propagation moveout was effectively extracted. Meanwhile, corrections for the energies and propagation moveouts of the R and T components were implemented using mathematical rotation. The PS-wave imaging quality was distinctly improved, and we demonstrated the reliability of our methods through numerical simulations. Applying our methods to three-dimensional and three-component seismic field data from the Xinchang-Hexingchang region of the Western Sichuan Depression in China, we obtained high-quality seismic imaging with continuous reflection wave groups, distinct structural features, and specific stratigraphic contact relationships. This study provides an effective and reliable approach for data processing that will improve the exploration of complex, hidden lithologic gas reservoirs.     

波动方程叠前深度偏移直接产生角道集

基于单程波深度延拓算法,得到震源波场在成像点的入射角度,结合对地层倾角的估计,获得入射地震波与界面法线的夹角.通过运用"保幅"的反褶积成像条件和考虑累加的炮数,解决了炮点覆盖不均匀导致的成像幅值误差问题,进而建议了炮域波动方程叠前深度偏移直接产生角道集的方法和流程.与基于空间移动或时移成像条件的波动方程叠前深度偏移提取角道集的方法相比,本文建议的方法只需少量额外的存储空间,又可补偿观测系统非均匀覆盖对成像幅值的影响;其增加的计算量与炮域偏移算法相比几乎可以忽略.文中算例表明,本文方法提取的角道集可为叠前反演提供较精确的AVO振幅特性.此外,就改善地震成像效果本身而言,提取角道集使得可在波动方程叠前深度偏移中应用剩余动校和拉伸切除技术,从而可更好地保持高频成分并提高成像的信噪比.     

气层在纵波和转换波谱分解中的特征

应用拟合追逐分解MPD(Matching pursuit decomposition)法对地震数据进行谱分解能够提供更好的分辨率,在时间分辨率和频率分辨率上到达一致,避免付氏变换方法中时窗大小选择和分析时间点不准确的问题。含气地层对纵波资料产生较大的频率衰减,在储层下方可能见到低频强振幅的低频阴影现象。而转换波资料受气藏影响小,在转换波剖面中不会出现同纵波类似的低频阴影区。因此,综合两种资料在分频剖面上的表现,可以进行含气性异常的预测。对已知气藏的实际多波地震资料,进行MPD分频处理,在不同波场的分频剖面上,分析气层响应特征。     

The gas reservoir response in PP- and PS-wave frequency sections

Spectral decomposition using the method of Matching Pursuit Decomposition （MPD） for PP- and PS-wave data has higher resolution and higher consistency over the entire time-frequency plane. The MPD algorithm avoids the problems of inaccurate analytic time point and the time window size choice that may occur during a Fourier transform. The PP-wave attenuation is greater than the PS-wave attenuation while propagating through gas reservoirs. There are some stronger amplitude low-frequency shadows on the PP-wave single frequency sections beneath gas reservoirs which are not seen on corresponding PS- wave single frequency sections. Therefore, hydrocarbons are predicted from comparing the behavior on both frequency sections. The time-frequency analysis for multi-component data is decomposed by MPD for data from northeast China containing rich gas reservoirs. The gas response character is analyzed on different wave mode single frequency sections. We describe the MPD algorithm, compare it to other spectral decomposition methods, and show some examples of detecting low-frequency shadows beneath gas reservoirs.     

基于动态图像变形的PP与PS波层位直接匹配

多分量地震资料的矢量偏移、多波地震资料的联合解释与反演均需要估算纵横波的速度比,实现纵波与转换横波在时间或深度域的匹配.基于DTW,本文实现了一种适用于PP与PS波直接匹配的动态图像变形算法.该算法分为三个部分:首先,使用二阶对称动态规划算法逐样点递归计算PP与PS波走时或深度的误差累积和;其次,在以误差累积和为目标函数的回溯阶段设定变形窗,并在纵横波速比约束的变形窗内递归回溯搜索匹配路径;最后,根据最大相关系数判定准则在匹配路径中确定最佳匹配路径,获得使PP与PS波匹配的拉伸或压缩时移量.利用所获得的拉伸压缩时移量计算纵横波速度比就可以实现PP与PS波之间的匹配.模型与实际陆上多分量地震资料测试结果表明:该方法具有较高的匹配精度,且对于信噪比、相似度较低的多分量地震资料,该方法也能产生较好的匹配效果.     

Residual curvature migration velocity analysis for angle domain common imaging gathers

Pre-stack depth migration velocity analysis is one of the keys to influencing the imaging quality of pre-stack migration. In this paper we cover a residual curvature velocity analysis method on angle-domain common image gathers (ADCIGs) which can depict the relationship between incident angle and migration depth at imaging points and update the migration velocity. Differing from offset-domain common image gathers (ODCIGs), ADCIGs are not disturbed by the multi-path problem which contributes to imaging artifacts, thus influencing the velocity analysis. On the basis of horizontal layers, we derive the residual depth equation and also propose a velocity analysis workflow for velocity scanning. The tests to synthetic and field data prove the velocity analysis methods adopted in this paper are robust and valid.
