    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: 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 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.

    摘要: A computer-implemented method for updating subsurface models including: using an offset continuation approach to update the model, and at each stage defining a new objective function where a maximum offset for each stage is set, wherein the approach includes, performing a first stage iterative full wavefield inversion with near offset data, as the maximum offset, to obtain velocity and density or impedance models, performing subsequent stages of iterative full wavefield inversion, each generating updated models, relative to a previous stage, wherein the subsequent stages include incrementally expanding the maximum offset until ending at a full offset, wherein a last of the stages yields finally updated models, the subsequent stages use the updated models as starting models, and the full wavefield inversions include constraining scales of the velocity model updates at each stage of inversion as a function of velocity resolution; and using the finally updated models to prospect for hydrocarbons.

    摘要: A basically time-domain method for performing full wavefield inversion of seismic data to infer a subsurface physical property model (61), where however at least one quantity required for the inversion, such as the Hessian of the cost function, is computed in the frequency domain (64). The frequency-domain quantity or quantities may be obtained at only a few discrete frequencies (62), preferably low frequencies, and may be computed on a coarse spatial grid, thus saving computing time with minimal loss in accuracy. For example, the simulations of predicted data and the broadband gradient of the objective function may be computed in the time domain (67), and the Hessian matrix, approximated by its diagonal, may be computed in the frequency domain. It may be preferable to use time-domain and the frequency-domain solvers that employ different numerical schemes, such as finite-difference method, one-way wave equation, finite-element method (63).
