摘要:
Method for simultaneous full-wavefield inversion of gathers of source (or receiver) encoded geophysical data to determine a physical properties model (118) for a subsurface region, especially suitable for surveys where fixed receiver geometry conditions were not satisfied in the data acquisition. Simultaneous source separation (104) is performed to lessen any effect of the measured geophysical data's not satisfying the fixed-receiver assumption. A data processing step (106) coming after the simultaneous source separation acts to conform model-simulated data (105) to the measured geophysical data (108) for source and receiver combinations that are missing in the measured geophysical data.

Method for simultaneous full-wavefield inversion of gathers of source (or receiver) encoded geophysical data to determine a physical properties model for a subsurface region, especially suitable for surveys where fixed receiver geometry conditions were not satisfied in the data acquisition. First, a shallow time window of the data (202) where the fixed receiver condition is satisfied is inverted by simultaneous encoded (203) source inversion (205). Then, the deeper time window of the data (208) is inverted by sparse sequential source inversion (209), using the physical properties model from the shallow time window (206) as a starting model (207). Alternatively, the shallow time window model is used to simulate missing far offset data (211) producing a data set satisfying the stationary receiver assumption, after which this data set is source encoded (212) and inverted by simultaneous source inversion (214).

摘要:
The invention includes a method for reducing noise in migration of seismic data, particularly advantageous for imaging by simultaneous encoded source reverse-time migration (SS-RTM). One example embodiment includes the steps of obtaining a plurality of initial subsurface images; decomposing each of the initial subsurface images into components; identifying a set of components comprising one of (i) components having at least one substantially similar characteristic across the plurality of initial subsurface images, and (ii) components having substantially dissimilar characteristics across the plurality of initial subsurface images; and generating an enhanced subsurface image using the identified set of components. For SS-RTM, each of the initial subsurface images is generated by migrating several sources simultaneously using a unique random set of encoding functions. Another embodiment of the invention uses SS-RTM for velocity model building.

摘要:
Method for performing simultaneous encoded-source inversion of geophysical data to estimate parameters of a physical property model (41), especially adapted for surveys without fixed-receiver acquisition geometry, such as marine seismic surveys with moving source and receivers. The encoding functions (32) used on the sources to generate one or more simultaneous encoded-source gathers of data (35), as well as to simulate the same (34), are orthogonal or pseudo-orthogonal with respect to cross-correlation. In addition, receivers are also encoded, with the receiver encoding being designed to make a given receiver less sensitive to sources to which it was not listening during the survey (38). The encoding functions may be temporal bandpass filters differing one from another by central frequency, phase, or both. Efficiency of the method may be further improved by grouping several sources into a super-source, grouping the corresponding gathers into a super-gather, and then applying the above encoding strategy.
