Problems solved by technology

However, the subsurface medium cannot be accurately represented by the two-dimensional flat VTI medium or the equivalent two-dimensional undulating TTI medium; the linear approximation cannot accurately represent the relationship between the anisotropic model parameters and the first arrival travel time and polarization data. Linear inversion based on approximation cannot effectively restore the nonlinear relationship between anisotropic model parameters and first arrival travel time and polarization data; methods based on weak anisotropy assumptions are not universal; linear inversion methods have large errors , the search ability of the enumeration method is limited

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for inverting anisotropy parameters using variable offset vertical seismic profile data. The method includes: calculating vertical longitudinal wave speed and vertical transverse wave speed of each layer of a vertical seismic profile; collecting symbol layer positions and determining intersections of each layer and well trajectory; building up a surface layer model and an observing system; randomly initiating the anisotropy parameters of layers to be determined and cubic coefficient of a top layer interface to be determined; forming anisotropy speed models to be optimized; screening receiver inter-layer points ; collecting shot first arrival to calculate polarizing angles; building up a target function using P wave first arrival travel time and the polarizing angles; using niche genetic algorithm to optimize the target function; finishing optimization of the anisotropy parameters of the layers to be determined and configuration of the top layer interface to be determined; calculating layer by layer 'from shallow deprocessing to deep deprocessing' to finish optimization of the anisotropy parameters of the whole model. By the method, a reflecting interface is close to actual stratum, linear convergence ray tracing is high in calculation efficiency, complicated internal relations of anisotropy media are simplified, iterative test ray tracing modeling is guided by guide search of the niche genetic algorithm, and the anisotropy parameters and interface configurations are inverted and optimized nonlinearly.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to seismic exploration data processing technology, and is a method for inverting anisotropic parameters of variable offset vertical seismic profile (Walkaway VSP) data. Background technique [0002] Walkaway VSP adopts the observation method of receiving in the well, and the seismic point moves along a well line on the ground. It is mainly used for structural imaging near the well and reservoir research. 3D VSP (3-dimensional vertical seismic profile) can be regarded as the composition of Walkaway VSP in different azimuths. The Walkaway VSP data contain rich velocity information and morphological parameters of the reflection interface, which are expressed as changes in arrival travel time and polarization angle. [0003] Thomsen (1986) proposed anisotropy parameters with clear physical meaning, and gave the phase velocity and group velocity expressions of arbitrary strength and weak anisotropy, which brought the research of aniso...
