Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical fields of seismic exploration and marine geological survey, in particular to a method for determining an optimal air gun array. Background technique
[0002] Marine seismic exploration uses air guns as the main excitation source. Usually, in order to increase the energy of the air gun source to achieve the purpose of improving the penetration of deep formations, multiple air guns are combined and arrayed according to different spatial layouts during operation. The common air gun combination form There are: tuned airgun sources; coherent airgun arrays; and tuned-coherent hybrid airgun arrays. The characteristic of different forms of combined array excitation is that the seismic wavelets produced by different forms of combined excitation of seismic sources are very different.
[0003] How to objectively evaluate the quality of the airgun wavelet is an important content to determine the quality of the airgun array f...
