地震与大地电磁测深数据的自适应正则化同步联合反演

在传统的联合反演研究中,地球物理学者往往更多地关注数据拟合,很少涉及正则化理论.本文在电阻率和速度随机分布的大地电磁测深(MT)与地震联合反演研究的基础之上,将正则化思想引入到同步联合反演中,加入先验信息进行模型约束,选取最小模型为稳定泛函,并首次采用自适应正则化算法来确定联合反演的正则化因子.根据以往研究成果,采用非线性模拟退火方法来实现MT视电阻率或相位与地震走时的同步联合反演.此外,为了验证该算法的有效性,在模型对比试验中设计了4种不同方案.通过模型试验的对比分析,我们认为加入有效模型约束的自适应正则化联合反演,可以有效地提高解的稳定性和计算效率,并能在一定程度上解决不同地球物理数据加权系数人为选取问题,模型试验结果也表明了自适应正则化联合反演优于MT单独反演.     

A fast joint seismic data reconstruction by sparsity‐promoting inversion

Seismic field data are often irregularly or coarsely sampled in space due to acquisition limits. However, complete and regular data need to be acquired in most conventional seismic processing and imaging algorithms. We have developed a fast joint curvelet‐domain seismic data reconstruction method by sparsity‐promoting inversion based on compressive sensing. We have made an attempt to seek a sparse representation of incomplete seismic data by curvelet coefficients and solve sparsity‐promoting problems through an iterative thresholding process to reconstruct the missing data. In conventional iterative thresholding algorithms, the updated reconstruction result of each iteration is obtained by adding the gradient to the previous result and thresholding it. The algorithm is stable and accurate but always requires sufficient iterations. The linearised Bregman method can accelerate the convergence by replacing the previous result with that before thresholding, thus promoting the effective coefficients added to the result. The method is faster than conventional one, but it can cause artefacts near the missing traces while reconstructing small‐amplitude coefficients because some coefficients in the unthresholded results wrongly represent the residual of the data. The key process in the joint curvelet‐domain reconstruction method is that we use both the previous results of the conventional method and the linearised Bregman method to stabilise the reconstruction quality and accelerate the recovery for a while. The acceleration rate is controlled through weighting to adjust the contribution of the acceleration term and the stable term. A fierce acceleration could be performed for the recovery of comparatively small gaps, whereas a mild acceleration is more appropriate when the incomplete data has a large gap of high‐amplitude events. Finally, we carry out a fast and stable recovery using the trade‐off algorithm. Synthetic and field data tests verified that the joint curvelet‐domain reconstruction method can effectively and quickly reconstruct seismic data with missing traces.

Quasi-2D hybrid joint inversion of seismic and geoelectric data

Many joint inversion schemes use 1D forward modelling in the integrated interpretation of various geophysical data. In extending the joint inversion approach to the investigation of 2D structures, the discretization of the model parameters and the appropriate choice of the forward‐modelling procedure play a very important role. In this paper, a hybrid seismic–geoelectric joint inversion method is proposed for the investigation of 2D near‐surface geological structures. The electric and seismic models are coupled together through the use of common boundaries between the adjacent layers. Assuming a 2D model composed of homogeneous layers with curved boundaries, a fast ray‐tracing algorithm is used for the calculation of refraction seismic traveltime data. In the geoelectric forward modelling, a locally 1D approximation is used. The boundary surfaces are written in the form of series expansion; the inversion algorithms are formulated for the expansion coefficients and the petrophysical parameters as unknowns. Two versions of the inversion method are proposed: in versions A and B, interval‐wise constant functions and Chebyshev polynomials are, respectively, used as basis functions of the series expansion. The versions are tested by means of synthetic and in situ measured data. The tests show that both methods are stable and accurate.

基于交叉梯度耦合的大地电磁与地震走时资料三维联合反演

为了有效解决目前大地电磁和地震走时资料单方法反演结果一致性不好的问题,同时克服基于岩石不同物性参数间关系耦合约束联合反演的局限性,本文研究了基于交叉梯度耦合约束的大地电磁与地震走时资料的三维联合反演算法.以较为成熟的天然地震走时资料三维正反演和大地电磁三维正反演算法为基础,实现了具有共同的反演网格,以交叉梯度结构耦合约束,并能同时获得电阻率和速度模型的三维联合反演算法.分别利用单棱柱体模型和双棱柱体模型合成数据进行了联合反演试算.结果表明:无论是单棱柱体模型还是双棱柱体模型,联合反演结果比单独反演对异常体的空间形态都有更好的恢复,其中单棱柱体模型反演的异常体电阻率更接近于真实电阻率,双棱柱体模型的联合反演结果不仅消除了围岩的部分电阻率假异常,而且增强了对异常体深部速度结构特征的恢复程度.联合反演还能同时改善电阻率和速度反向变化异常体的单独反演结果,进一步证明交叉梯度耦合不依赖于岩石物性关系,而强调地下结构的相似性,具有更普遍的适用性.     

长乐-南澳断裂带两侧地壳结构差异的地震-重力联合反演

长乐-南澳断裂带出露于福建沿海地区,由于海陆过渡带的特殊性,地球物理探测受到许多限制,难以获得由陆到海的清晰而准确的深部构造形态.2014年福建省地震局采集了横跨长乐-南澳断裂带的广角反射/折射剖面（HX-6）,由于观测系统的缺陷和原始资料信噪比等问题,单纯使用地震数据反演长乐-南澳断裂带的深部地壳结构有很强的不确定性,无法解答断裂带两侧地壳结构存在何种差异,影响了对断裂带构造属性和区域构造演化的正确认识.基于岩石波速和密度有良好的对应关系,地震-重力联合反演可以有效降低多解性.本文采用地震走时拟合和重力异常拟合同步进行的方法,利用最新采集的高质量P波地震走时数据与高精度实测重力数据,反演得到了连城-厦门-金门外海剖面的二维地壳波速-密度结构模型.联合反演结果显示：长乐-南澳断裂带两侧地壳厚度差约3 km,壳内分层结构和上地幔顶部波速-密度无显著变化,推断长乐-南澳断裂带是华南地块正常陆壳和台湾海峡减薄陆壳的分界.本研究结果为进一步研究该区深部构造环境和长乐-南澳断裂带的地球动力学意义提供了新的地球物理学证据.

     

Constructing a discrete fracture network constrained by seismic inversion data

Rock fractures are of great practical importance to petroleum reservoir engineering because they provide pathways for fluid flow, especially in reservoirs with low matrix permeability, where they constitute the primary flow conduits. Understanding the spatial distribution of natural fracture networks is thus key to optimising production. The impact of fracture systems on fluid flow patterns can be predicted using discrete fracture network models, which allow not only the 6 independent components of the second‐rank permeability tensor to be estimated, but also the 21 independent components of the fully anisotropic fourth‐rank elastic stiffness tensor, from which the elastic and seismic properties of the fractured rock medium can be predicted. As they are stochastically generated, discrete fracture network realisations are inherently non‐unique. It is thus important to constrain their construction, so as to reduce their range of variability and, hence, the uncertainty of fractured rock properties derived from them. This paper presents the underlying theory and implementation of a method for constructing a geologically realistic discrete fracture network, constrained by seismic amplitude variation with offset and azimuth data. Several different formulations are described, depending on the type of seismic data and prior geologic information available, and the relative strengths and weaknesses of each approach are compared. Potential applications of the method are numerous, including the prediction of fluid flow, elastic and seismic properties of fractured reservoirs, model‐based inversion of seismic amplitude variation with offset and azimuth data, and the optimal placement and orientation of infill wells to maximise production.     

地震数据互相关驱动的多道反演方法

基于交叉梯度交替结构约束的二维地震走时与全通道直流电阻率联合反演

在利用不同的地球物理勘探方法对地下复杂介质成像时,因观测系统的非完备性及数据本身对某些岩石物性的不敏感性,单独成像的结果存在较大的不确定性和不一致性.对于地震体波走时成像与直流电阻率成像,均面临着成像阴影区问题.对于地震走时成像,地震射线对低速区域覆盖较差形成阴影区,造成低速区域分辨率降低.对于电阻率成像,电场线在高阻区域分布较少,造成高阻区域分辨率较低.为了提高地下介质成像的精度,Gallado和Meju（2003）提出了基于交叉梯度结构约束的联合地球物理成像方法.在要求不同的物性模型拟合各自对应的数据同时,模型之间的结构要求一致,即交叉梯度趋于零.为了更有效地实现基于交叉梯度的结构约束,我们提出了一种新的交替结构约束的联合反演流程,即交替反演不同的数据而且在反演一种数据时要求对应的模型与另一个模型结构一致.新的算法能够更容易地把单独的反演系统耦合在一起,而且也更容易建立结构约束和数据拟合之间的平衡.基于新的联合反演流程,我们测试了基于交叉梯度结构约束的二维跨孔地震走时和直流电阻率联合成像.合成数据测试表明,我们提出的交替结构约束流程能够很好地实现基于交叉梯度结构约束的联合成像.与单独成像结果相比,地震走时和全通道电阻率联合成像更可靠地确定了速度和电阻率异常.     

Bayesian inversion of joint SH seismic and seismoelectric data to infer glacier system properties

In glacial studies, properties such as glacier thickness and the basement permeability and porosity are key to understand the hydrological and mechanical behaviour of the system. The seismoelectric method could potentially be used to determine key properties of glacial environments. Here we analytically model the generation of seismic and seismoelectric signals by means of a shear horizontal seismic wave source on top of a glacier overlying a porous basement. Considering a one-dimensional setting, we compute the seismic waves and the electrokinetically induced electric field. We then analyse the sensitivity of the seismic and electromagnetic data to relevant model parameters, namely depth of the glacier bottom, porosity, permeability, shear modulus and saturating water salinity of the glacier basement. Moreover, we study the possibility of inferring these key parameters from a set of very low noise synthetic data, adopting a Bayesian framework to pay particular attention to the uncertainty of the model parameters mentioned above. We tackle the resolution of the probabilistic inverse problem with two strategies: (1) we compute the marginal posterior distributions of each model parameter solving multidimensional integrals numerically and (2) we use a Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithm to retrieve a collection of model parameters that follows the posterior probability density function of the model parameters, given the synthetic data set. Both methodologies are able to obtain the marginal distributions of the parameters and estimate their mean and standard deviation. The Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithm performs better in terms of numerical stability and number of iterations needed to characterize the distributions. The inversion of seismic data alone is not able to constrain the values of porosity and permeability further than the prior distribution. In turn, the inversion of the electric data alone, and the joint inversion of seismic and electric data are useful to constrain these parameters as well as other glacial system properties. Furthermore, the joint inversion reduces the uncertainty of the model parameters estimates and provides more accurate results.     

反射地震数据的逐层波形反演

本文针对层状介质并结合梯度法波形反演,提出逐层波形反演的方法. 首先给出介质扰动响应的概念,并在此基础上分析了梯度法波形反演方法. 波形反演实质上是将实测地震记录和预测地震记录的波形残差信息转化为实际地质模型和预测地质模型的模型残差信息. 波形反演的优点是利用大量振幅相位信息得到高分辨率的反演结果, 其缺点是运行耗时大;当初始模型和实际模型相差较大时,迭代算法容易陷入局部极小点,这是因为目标函数和初始模型同实际模型间的差异是非线性的关系. 逐层波形反演方法是使自上而下每一层的目标函数最小,这样总的目标函数也是最小的. 利用二分法速度扫描确定每一层速度不仅提高了运算速度也避免了迭代算法陷入局部极小点的问题. 结合介质扰动响应和目标函数值变化可以更为准确迅速地确定每一层速度和该层界面位置.     

The seismic velocity structure north of Iceland from joint inversion of local earthquake data

The tectonics of North Iceland is dominated by interaction of the Iceland hot spot and the mid-oceanic Kolbeinsey Ridge. Transform movement along the transition zone, often called Tjörnes Fracture Zone, and the seismicity it generates has been documented in the past. This study uses the seismicity data of the permanent South Iceland Lowland (SIL) network to quantify velocity structure from travel time inversion. The SIL seismic dataset is capable of illuminating parts of the region in a 3D seismic velocity inversion, primarily between 7 and 12 km depth, with less resolution elsewhere because of the sparse setup of the monitoring network. The problem has been analysed in 1, 2 and 3 dimensions and evaluated with 4 different inversion tools. The study reports a correlation of a seismic velocity anomaly in compressional wave velocity v _p and shear wave velocity v _s with the Husavik-Flatey fault and a further subsurface lineament stretching between the islands of Flatey and Grimsey. Finally, our results support a decrease of crustal thickness between the mainland and the island of Grimsey.

Two-dimensional data-space joint inversion of magnetotelluric,gravity, magnetic and seismic data with cross-gradient constraints

In recent years, joint inversion has been widely used for integrated geological interpretation. We extended a data-space joint inversion algorithm of magnetotelluric, gravity and magnetic data to include first-arrival seismic travel-time and normalized cross-gradient constraints. We describe the main features of the algorithm and apply it to synthetic data generated for hypothetical models. For the synthetic data, we find that the joint inversion with multiple parameters is superior to the joint inversion with two or even three parameters, which can reduce the multisolution of inversion results more effectively. Furthermore, data-space joint inversion involves fewer memory requirements and better calculation speeds than traditional model-space joint inversion. The normalized cross-gradient constraints can better couple model parameters of different magnitudes compared with traditional unnormalized cross-gradient constraints, resulting in higher levels of structural similarity among resistivity, density, magnetic susceptibility and velocity models.
