Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of seismic exploration, and in particular to a double-pass wave depth migration method for VTI media. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous development of seismic exploration, the exploration targets have gradually shifted to complex high-steep structural belts, and the underground media in these areas are generally anisotropic. The actual underground structure can be approximated as a VTI medium. At present, the wave equation depth migration methods for anisotropic media are all one-way wave equation depth migration methods. The two-way wave equation depth migration has better angle imaging capability and amplitude preservation characteristics than the one-way wave equation depth migration. The current two-way wave depth migration is only for isotropic media. For example, in the patent application with publication number CN105911587B, a two-way wave prestack depth migration method using a one-way wave operator is disclosed, and the two-way wave field depth extrapolation is realized using the one-way wave operator. That is, the two-way wave field depth extrapolation is performed on the detection point wave field and the shot point wave field, and the extended detection point wave field and the shot point wave field are imaged using the cross-correlation imaging principle or the reflection coefficient imaging principle.

[0003] Moreover, in the above-mentioned isotropic two-way wave depth migration method, the one-way wave operator used is a traditional one-way wave operator based on reference velocity approximation, which has a large error in wave field propagation and cannot better image the underground structure.

[0004] Therefore, a two-way wave depth migration method for anisotropic media is proposed. This method extends the traditional two-way wave depth migration from isotropic media to anisotropic media, expands the application range of two-way wave depth migration, improves the calculation accuracy of the propagation operator, and can better image the underground structure.

[0050] The present invention provides a double-pass wave depth migration method for VTI media, comprising the following steps:

[0051] S101: Acquire geophone seismic data to form a geophone wave field;

[0052] S102: extracting seismic wavelet information from the seismic data of the geophone to form a source wave field;

[0053] S103: Read the seismic data and source wave field of a single shot respectively to obtain anisotropic parameters V P , ε and δ;

[0054] S104: Perform Fourier transform on the source wave field and the detector wave field data to obtain frequency-space domain wave field data.

[0055] In this embodiment, firstly, the geophone seismic data is acquired through seismic acquisition to form the geophone wave field; then, the seismic wavelet information is extracted from the geophone seismic data to form the source wave field; the seismic data and source wave field of a single shot are read respectively to obtain the anisotropy parameter V P , ε and δ; then perform Fourier transform on the source wave field and the detector wave field data to obtain the frequency-space domain wave field data.

[0056] S105: Calculate parameters required for migration according to the anisotropic parameters.

[0057] In this embodiment, the parameters required for migration are calculated based on the anisotropic parameters.

The key parameters estimated in ground seismic can be expressed as the normal moveout (NMO) velocity V nmo and horizontal velocity V h , the formula is:

[0058]

[0059] Although the Thomsen parameters were introduced to address weak anisotropy, they are convenient to use regardless of the magnitude of the anisotropy. When only P-wave kinematics are considered, the Thomsen parameters are not sensitive to S-waves along the symmetry axes x and y in VTI media. Therefore, the number of parameters is further reduced to a new parameter η, defined as the ellipticity, which is given by:

[0060]

[0062] In this embodiment, the anisotropic vertical wave number k is calculated z , anisotropic vertical wave number k z The calculation formula is:

[0063]

[0064] The present invention uses a generalized two-way phase shift operator based on local accurate velocity calculation to extrapolate the wave field, ensuring the accuracy of the propagation operator. At the same time, in order to facilitate calculation, the rewritten anisotropic dispersion relation is adopted:

[0065]

[0066] S107: Obtaining the wave field of the second depth grid Provide boundary conditions for two-pass depth extrapolation.

[0067] In this embodiment, the wave field of the second depth grid is obtained TRON The formula is:

[0068]

[0069] Where F' stands for inverse Fourier transform.

[0070] S108: According to the double boundary conditions, the wave field propagation operator is calculated layer by layer Two-pass depth continuation in the frequency-space domain;

[0071] In this embodiment, according to the double boundary conditions, the wave field propagation operator is obtained layer by layer. The extension formula is:

[0072]

[0073] S109: Eliminate evanescent waves and pseudo S waves at each depth position;

[0074] In this embodiment, the evanescent wave and the pseudo S wave are eliminated at each depth position; if A or B is negative, an evanescent wave will be generated, which can be achieved by setting k in the formula z If the value of is 0, it will be removed; if A<0 and B<0, a pseudo S wave is obtained, which can be eliminated by filtering the negative values ​​in A and B in the dispersion relation.

[0075] S110: Perform offset imaging.

[0076] In this embodiment, offset imaging is performed; wherein the offset imaging is performed by using the cross-correlation imaging principle and the reflection coefficient imaging principle.

[0077] S111: Repeat the extension calculation until the maximum depth is calculated, and output the offset result.

[0078] In this embodiment, the continuation calculation of steps S108 to S110 is repeated until the maximum depth is calculated, and the migration result is output.

[0079] In this application, if Figure 6 As shown, the seismic data of the geophone is obtained to form the geophone wave field; the seismic wavelet information is extracted from the seismic data of the geophone to form the source wave field; the seismic data and source wave field of a single shot are read respectively to obtain the anisotropy parameter V P , ε and δ; perform Fourier transform on the source wave field and the detector wave field data to obtain the frequency-space domain wave field data; calculate the parameters required for migration based on the anisotropic parameters; calculate the anisotropic vertical wave number k z ; Obtain the wave field of the second depth grid Provide boundary conditions for double-pass depth extrapolation; according to the double boundary conditions, find the wave field propagation operator layer by layer Perform two-way depth extension in the frequency-space domain; eliminate evanescent waves and pseudo-S waves at each depth position; perform migration imaging; repeat the extension calculation until the maximum depth is calculated, and output the migration result; by extending the two-way wave migration from isotropic media to anisotropic media, the application scope of two-way wave depth migration is expanded, which can better image the underground structure. Figure 1 to Figure 5 As shown, Figure 1 It is the P wave velocity model of the non-uniform variable velocity medium of the present invention. Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of the pulse response result of the present invention; wherein, Figure 2 (a) ε = 0 and δ = 0; Figure 2 (b) ε = 0.5 and δ = 0 (pseudo-S waves are not filtered out); Figure 2 (c) ε = 0.5 and δ = 0.5; Figure 2 (d) ε = 0.5 and δ = 0 (spurious S waves are filtered out). Figure 3 is a schematic diagram of the parameters of a simple anisotropic model of the present invention, wherein Figure 3(a)V P , Figure 3 (b) ε, Figure 3 (c)δ. Figure 4 is a schematic diagram comparing the results of the double-pass wave depth migration of the present invention, wherein Figure 4 (a) is the result of two-way wave depth migration in VTI medium. Figure 4 (b) is the isotropic two-way wave depth migration result. Figure 4 (c) is the imaging result of single-pass wave depth migration in VTI medium. It can be seen that the anisotropic time is not taken into account, and the imaging result has obvious errors and noise. Figure 5 is a schematic diagram of imaging amplitude comparison of the present invention, specifically, Figure 5 for Figure 4 Comparison of imaging amplitudes extracted at x=1700m. It can be seen that the dual-pass wave VTI medium depth migration method proposed in the present invention has better amplitude preservation than the traditional single-pass wave VTI medium depth migration method.
