摘要:
Methods and apparatus to filter acoustic waveforms in downhole environments are described. An example method involves receiving acoustic waveform data representing acoustic signals traversing at least a portion of a borehole adjacent a subterranean formation and performing a direct transform operation on the acoustic waveform data to generate wavelet map data. The wavelet map data comprises a time-frequency representation of the acoustic waveform data. The example method also involves identifying a waveform of interest via the wavelet map data, extracting data associated with the waveform of interest from the wavelet map data, generating filtered wavelet map data based on the extracted data, and performing an inverse transform operation on the filtered wavelet map data to generate filtered acoustic waveform data

A system and method for attenuating noise in seismic data representative of a subsurface region of interest including receiving a seismic dataset representative of seismic signal or seismic noise and a seismic dataset representative of seismic signal and noise, transforming them into a domain were they have sparse or compressible representation, comparing the sets of coefficients to identify desirable coefficients in the set of coefficients representing the signal and noise dataset, selecting the desirable coefficients to produce an improved set of coefficients, and inverse transforming the improved set of coefficients to produce a modified seismic dataset. The modified seismic dataset may be noise-attenuated seismic data or may be a noise model that is subtracted from the original data to produce noise-attenuated data.
摘要:
Method for controlling the phase spectrum of seismic data to match assumptions inherent in subsequent processing steps. The source signature, after processing with the same initial processing steps used on the data, is used to design a phase control filter that shapes the seismic data to have a minimum phase spectrum or whatever other phase spectrum the subsequent processing algorithms may assume. The processed data is then filtered with a second phase-control filter, also designed using the parallel-processed signature, to shape the data to zero phase or whatever other phase may be desired for interpretation of the data.

A method includes receiving, via a processor, a first seismic dataset generated using a first type of survey system. The method further includes receiving, via the processor, a second seismic dataset generated using a second type of survey system. The method additionally includes determining a frequency band in which to combine the first seismic dataset with the second seismic dataset to generate a combined dataset and generating a seismic image based upon the combined dataset, wherein the seismic image represents hydrocarbons in a subsurface region of the Earth or subsurface drilling hazards.
摘要:
Seismic data is deblended by performing, for each receiver, a first inversion and a second inversion in a transform domain. The first inversion is formulated to minimize a number of non-zero coefficients of the first inversion result. A sub-domain of the transform domain is defined by vectors of a transform domain basis for which the first inversion has yielded the non-zero coefficients. The second inversion is performed in this sub-domain. The solution of the second inversion is used to extract deblended seismic datasets corresponding to each of the distinct signals, from the seismic data.

摘要:
Recorded seismic data are represented as a convolution of operators representing a reflectivity series of the earth and a seismic wavelet. The recorded seismic wavelet is represented as a convolution of operators representing a receiver ghost, a source ghost, a ghost-free source system response, an earth filter response, and a receiver system response. The operator representing the receiver ghost is removed from the convolution representing the seismic wavelet. The operator representing the source ghost is removed from the convolution representing the seismic wavelet. The operator representing the ghost-free source response is removed from the convolution representing the seismic wavelet. The operator representing the earth filter response is removed from the convolution representing the seismic wavelet. The operator representing the seismic wavelet is removed from the convolution representing the recorded seismic data.
