    摘要: A method for implementing a full waveform inversion (FWI) process using angle gathers includes; receiving observed seismic data associated with a subsurface region and captured by one or more seismic receivers, constructing based on the observed seismic data, a scalar velocity model and one or more vector velocity model partitions, where the one or more vector velocity model partitions correspond to one or more unique seismic angles. The method further includes determining one or more vector gradients using the scalar velocity model and the observed seismic data, and updating the one or more vector velocity model partitions using the one or more vector gradients. Additionally, the method also includes determining residual data by comparing synthetic data produced by the scalar velocity model with the observed seismic data, migrating the residual data backwards through time to determine one or more vector gradients, and determining the one or more unique seismic angles as the residual data is migrated backwards through time.

    摘要: The present invention relates to geophysics, and more particularly processing of seismic data for analysis and interpretation. A computer implemented method for extracting or estimating rock properties from seismic traces is disclosed. This method assists in understanding the interpretation of post-stack and pre-stack seismic data by predicting density and velocity. The computer implemented method comprising the follow steps: (1) preparing an initial model with initial functions of velocity and density and synthetic traces; (2) generating synthetic traces from the velocity and density functions with added artificial kinematic constraints; (3) creating updated synthetic traces using randomly updated velocity and density functions; for each iteration, artificial waves traveling from a source point to a reflection point and back are simulated as constraint; (4) performing a search of the misfit object function of any norm, and (5) using probabilistic techniques for approximating the global optimum and minimizing the cost function.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a one-way wave equation prestack depth migration method using an elastic generalized-screen (EGS) wave propagator capable of efficiently expressing the movement of an elastic wave passing through a mutual mode conversion between a P-wave and an S-wave while propagating boundary surfaces of an underground medium, by expanding, to an elastic wave equation, a conventional scalar generalized-screen (SGS) technique capable of quickly calculating the propagation of a wave in a medium in which there is a horizontal speed change, and according to the present invention, provided is a prestack EGS migration method for seismic wave multi-component data, which: can calculate a wave field with higher accuracy in a medium having a complex structure by expanding up to a second term of a Taylor series expansion of a vertical slowness term of a propagator; includes a mode separation operator in the propagator so as to directly use a shot gather as a migration input, without the need to separate multi-component data into a P-wave and an S-wave, enabling P-wave and S-wave image sections to be generated; and is configured to improve the quality of an S-wave migration image by correcting a polarity conversion in a wave number-frequency domain prior to S-wave imaging.

    摘要: The method processes input including, for each of a plurality of shots at respective source locations, seismic traces recorded at a plurality of receiver locations. Offset-modulated data are also computed by multiplying the seismic data in each seismic trace by a horizontal offset between the source and receiver locations for said seismic trace. A depth migration process is applied to the seismic data to obtain a first set of migrated data, and to the offset-modulated data to obtain a second set of migrated data. For each shot, offset values are estimated and associated with respective subsurface positions, by a division process applied to the first and second sets of migrated data.

    摘要: A migration method using hybrid one-way and full-way (HOF) wave equation propagation. The HOF method extrapolates seismic wavefields in less complex media with a one-way wave equation propagator and extrapolates seismic wavefields in extremely complex media with a full-way wave equation propagator. For prestack depth migration, the HOF extrapolates source-side and receiver-side wavefields independently. Frequency-space domain and time-space domain imaging conditions are applied to the one-way and the full-way extrapolated wavefields, respectively. A suitable amplitude matching factor is introduced to combine the one-way and full-way images. The HOF method is a cost-effective migration that produces superior image quality with less noises and less computational resources.

    摘要: A method is disclosed for processing seismic data. The method includes prestack depth migrating seismic measurements to compute common angle domain image gathers with an initial depth model. Residual moveout analysis is performed in the common angle domain, moveout corrections are derived in terms of the residual radii of curvature at zero reflection angle. Corrections for larger reflection angles are obtained from separate analyses for the coefficients of suitable series expansions. The residual radii of curvature at zero reflection angle can be used to improve the signal to noise ratio of the migrated data and to assess or improve the velocity model used for the prestack depth migration.

The method can eliminate the multiple solutions of pre-stack inversion and improve the accuracy of TOC content prediction of shale.
