Abstract:
A method including: storing, in a computer memory, geophysical data obtained from a survey of a subsurface region; and extracting, with a computer, a subsurface physical property model by processing the geophysical data with one or more convolutional neural networks, which are trained to relate the geophysical data to at least one subsurface physical property consistent with geological prior information.
Abstract:
A method, including: obtaining an initial geophysical model; modeling a forward wavefield with viscoacoustic or viscoelastic wave equations; modeling an adjoint wavefield with adjoint viscoacoustic or adjoint viscoelastic wave equations, wherein the adjoint viscoacoustic wave equations are based on an auxiliary variable that is a function of pressure and a memory variable or the adjoint viscoelastic wave equations are based on a combination of stress and a memory variable, respectively; obtaining a gradient of a cost function based on a combination of a model of the forward wavefield and a model of the adjoint wavefield; and using the gradient of the cost function to update the initial geophysical model and obtain an updated geophysical model.
Abstract:
A method, including: storing, in a computer memory, seismic data acquired from a seismic survey of a subsurface region; and generating, with a computer, a final subsurface physical property model of the subsurface region by processing the seismic data with an iterative full wavefield inversion method, wherein the iterative full wavefield inversion method generates the final subsurface physical property model by iteratively applying a linear solver with a preconditioner that is generated from information from one or more previous iterations of the linear solver.
