Global inversion of multi-vintage seismic data uses simulated annealing to minimize a cost function simultaneously for all vintages and all angle stacks to yield values of geophysical properties. Each vintage is generated from an independent seismic survey of a subsurface structure conducted over a distinct period of time and includes seismic traces and angle stacks. An initial model of the subsurface structure is used and includes values for geophysical properties and time shift maps between vintages. The time shift map contains shifts in the seismic trace between vintages. The cost function includes a time shift map term for the difference between the time shift map and a calculated time shift of the seismic trace between vintages and is based on a proposed perturbation to at least one of the geophysical properties. The time shift map is also used as a global constraint on proposed perturbations of subsurface properties.
摘要:
Method for acquiring, at reduced acquisition cost, seismic data using simultaneous, field-encoded sources in the field (702), and then constructing pseudo source-records (703) that better meet the requirements for using additional simultaneous computer-encoded sourcing for computer simulations or forward modeling (706) as part of (707) iterative FWI (Full Wavefield Inversion) or RTM (Reverse Time Migration), with additional reduction in computational costs. By better meeting the requirements of simultaneous sourcing for FWI or RTM (701), artifacts and crosstalk are reduced in the output. The method can be used for marine streamer acquisition and other non-fixed spread geometries to acquire both positive and negative offsets and to mitigate the “missing data” problem for simultaneous-source FWI. It can also be used for land data to overcome issues with moving spreads and long continuous records.
摘要:
Method for marine seismic acquisition using both monopole (91) and dipole (92) source types. Through a combination of source design and operation and/or combination or summing of the data in a processing step, the source ghost is either attenuated or, if desired, enhanced (93). The properties of the two different source types allow them to be adjusted so that the first down going wave from each has either opposite polarity or the same polarity, whereas the source-ghost wave will have, respectively same polarity or opposite polarity. This allows cancellation or enhancement of the source ghost. If the survey also employs two- component sensor acquisition, then the combined data sets may be both sensor de-ghosted and source de-ghosted.

A technique includes simulating seismic wave propagation based on an acoustic model and based on a result of the simulation, estimating an error between the result and another result obtained if the seismic wave propagation were simulated based on an elastic model. The technique includes based at least in part on the estimated error predicting the other result without performing the simulation based on the elastic model.

A method for estimating surface waves generates incident, back-scattered (110), virtual back-scattered (120) and super-virtual back-scattered traces (140). The stacked super-virtual back-scattered traces (150) are an estimate of the surface waves.
