    摘要: A multi-stage FWI workflow uses multiple-contaminated FWI models to predict surface-related multiples. A method embodying the present technological advancement, can include: using data with free surface multiples as input into FWI; generating a subsurface model by performing FWI with the free-surface boundary condition imposed on top of the subsurface model; using inverted model from FWI to predict multiples; removing predicted multiples from the measured data; using the multiple-free data as input into FWI with absorbing boundary conditions imposed on top of the subsurface model; and preparing a multiple free data set for use in conventional seismic data processing.

    摘要: Method for improving convergence in gradient-based iterative inversion of seismic data (101), especially advantageous for full wavefield inversion. The method comprises decomposing the gradient into two (or more) components (103), typically the migration component and the tomographic component, then weighting the components to compensate for unequal frequency content in the data (104), then recombining the weighted components (105), and using the recombined gradient to update (106) the physical properties model (102).

    摘要: Method for reducing computational time in inversion of geophysical data to infer a physical property model (91), especially advantageous in full wavefield inversion of seismic data. An approximate Hessian is pre-calculated by computing the product of the exact Hessian and a sampling vector composed of isolated point diffractors (82), and the approximate Hessian is stored in computer hard disk or memory (83). The approximate Hessian is then retrieved when needed (99) for computing its product with the gradient (93) of an objective function or other vector. Since the approximate Hessian is very sparse (diagonally dominant), its product with a vector may therefore be approximated very efficiently with good accuracy. Once the approximate Hessian is computed and stored, computing its product with a vector requires no simulator calls (wavefield propagations) at all. The pre-calculated approximate Hessian can also be reused in the subsequent steps whenever necessary.
