Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of oil and gas seismic exploration, and specifically relates to a near-surface anisotropic first-arrival wave tomography inversion modeling method and related equipment. Background Art

[0002] Figure 1 It is a near-surface topographic map of a certain exploration area. The lateral changes of strata and lithology are dramatic. There are relatively gentle exposed strata, and there are also a large number of nearly vertical or even reversed strata with large dip angles. The stratified structure with directional arrangement, especially when there are fracture fillings between the strata, will show anisotropy. The lithology parallel to the stratification direction is consistent, and the wave propagation speed is high. However, the lithology in the vertical direction of the stratification changes (such as fracture fillings or thin interlayers), and the wave propagation speed is low. The overall performance is anisotropy. Near-surface anisotropy distorts the ray propagation path, affecting the imaging effect and accuracy. Studying the near-surface velocity modeling method of anisotropy is an important way to improve the imaging quality of seismic data in complex exploration areas.

[0003] Figure 2 It shows that when the stratum is tilted (black oblique line in the figure) and anisotropy exists, the propagation of the seismic wave front is shown as the blue arc in the figure, which shows that the propagation speed is higher along the stratum direction. When anisotropy does not exist, the wave front is symmetrical, as shown by the red line in the figure. The imaging points under the two media are different, as shown by the red and blue arrows in the figure respectively.

[0004] The anisotropic characteristics of seismic wave propagation make the data show non-hyperbolic time difference on the CDP gather, which cannot be corrected by standard normal time difference analysis. Whether it is pre-stack time migration or pre-stack depth migration, if the anisotropic properties of the floating layer are ignored, the imaging position will have obvious lateral deviation, especially for complex exploration areas. In order to focus the stacked imaging, we always try to flatten the common imaging point gather. In fact, under the premise of ignoring the anisotropic effect, this flattening will cause the velocity to deviate from the correct value. When the overburden stratum dips to 45 degrees, the lateral deviation distance is the product of the thickness of the floating stratum and the ratio of normal velocity to horizontal velocity. The lateral deviation error is related to the shot offset, that is, the larger the shot offset, the larger the deviation position, which leads to blurred stack imaging. Ray tracing studies have shown that when the stratum is close to 20 degrees or 65 degrees, the blurring of the imaging is greater than that of steeper strata. If the angle of the floating formation is between 10-80 degrees, anisotropy must be considered, otherwise it will cause lateral deviation of the position and blurred imaging. Similarly, if anisotropy is ignored, the propagation speed will be greater than the actual speed, which will also cause the depth of the imaging point to be greater than the drilling result.

[0005] Figure 3Figures a and b are the pre-stack depth migration results of isotropic (left) and anisotropic (right) pre-stack depth migration in a certain work area, respectively. The green dashed line is the horizon that matches the target layer of the drilling, and the red line is the depth obtained by drilling. The target layer is about 2,500 meters. The isotropic migration is 175 meters deeper than the drilling, and the error between the anisotropic migration and the drilling is only 15 meters, within a wavelength range, and the error of the relative burial depth is less than 1%. This shows that the anisotropic characteristics of the floating layer are taken into account, which significantly reduces the depth error.

[0006] Figure 4 This is a forward modeling study of anisotropy in a complex exploration area. The figure above is a near-surface velocity model based on first-arrival wave tomography inversion. The black arrows represent the angle field determined based on the near-surface topography map of the area. Here, anisotropy is set only near the surface (above the gray solid line in the figure), with Epsilon = 0.16 and Delta = 0.04. The deep velocity of the model comes from the geological interpretation results, and the anisotropy parameters are all set to zero. Therefore, the model has anisotropy only near the surface and no anisotropy at depth. Figure 5 The depth migration results of considering and ignoring the near-surface anisotropy are shown respectively. It is not difficult to find that if the near-surface anisotropy is ignored, the imaging effect will be significantly worse for complex structures such as overthrust nappes.

[0007] Near-surface anisotropy is widely present in complex exploration areas, and the shallow surface reflection waves have a short effective arrangement and are often suppressed by surface waves and oblique interference, with a low signal-to-noise ratio. It is difficult to establish the anisotropic properties of the near-surface based on the reflection waves. Therefore, the influence of near-surface anisotropy is not considered in the actual data processing. Previous actual data and model forward modeling studies have shown that ignoring near-surface anisotropy will affect the imaging position and imaging quality of depth migration. Summary of the invention

[0008] The present invention provides a near-surface anisotropic first-arrival wave tomography inversion modeling method, which solves the problem in the prior art that near-surface anisotropy is ignored, thus affecting the imaging position and imaging quality of depth migration.

[0009] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0026] Preferably, the anisotropic first-arrival wave tomographic inversion equation is established according to the theoretical first-arrival time and the ray path. Specifically, according to the previously determined ray path and theoretical first-arrival time, the length of the ray in the grid and the theoretical picking time and the calculated travel time difference are obtained to establish the anisotropic first-arrival wave tomographic inversion equation, which includes three unknowns: the formation normal velocity, Epsilon and Delta.

[0027] Preferably, the wavelet domain sparse equations are solved by an LSQR algorithm.

[0028] Preferably, the output inversion results include a normal velocity field, an Epsilon field and a Delta field.

[0035] Evaluation module: Evaluate the inversion results. If the convergence conditions are met, the inversion results are output. If the convergence conditions are not met, the initial model is updated, including velocity, Epsilon and Delta, the first arrival time and ray path are recalculated, and the inversion is performed until the convergence conditions are met and the inversion results are output.

[0036] A computer device comprises a memory, a processor and a computer program stored in the memory and executable on the processor. When the processor executes the computer program, the steps of the near-surface anisotropic first-arrival wave tomography inversion modeling method are implemented.

[0037] A computer-readable storage medium stores a computer program, which, when executed by a processor, implements the steps of a near-surface anisotropic first-arrival wave tomography inversion modeling method.

[0038] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: the present invention provides a near-surface anisotropic first-arrival wave tomographic inversion modeling method, which is closer to the actual geological conditions and the propagation laws of seismic waves in terms of theoretical assumptions and actual inversion results, and provides a near-surface model that is more in line with the actual geological conditions for pre-stack depth migration, and advances the current "static correction" based on isotropy and pre-stack depth migration on undulating surfaces to anisotropic pre-stack depth migration on undulating surfaces, thereby improving the imaging quality of seismic data in dual-complex exploration areas. This is also a huge technological advancement, and by using it for pre-stack depth migration on undulating surfaces, better imaging effects than ever before have been achieved.

For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0071] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0072] like Fig.13 As shown, a near-surface anisotropic first-arrival wave tomography inversion modeling system comprises the following steps:

[0073] S1: Set up the observation system and pick the first arrival of seismic data. According to the given field observation system SPS file and seismic data, set up the observation system, perform quality control and inspection, and then accurately pick the first arrival time.

[0074] S2: Pick up the main shallow surface layers of the isotropic depth migration section. The anisotropic processing is based on the isotropic processing results. The early isotropic deep deviation section can be used to more accurately obtain the angle field information of the formation interface. First, pick up the layers on each Inline section, and each layer forms a surface in space.

[0075] S3: Based on the multiple geological layer "surfaces" picked up in the previous step, the normal direction of each grid point is calculated according to the following formula, and then the inclination and azimuth are calculated. The angle between the normal direction and the Z axis of the model is defined as the inclination, and the angle between the normal direction and the north direction of the geodetic coordinate (i.e., the Y coordinate) is defined as the azimuth.

[0076] Suppose P0(x0,y0,z0) is a known point on the stratum. To obtain the dip and azimuth of the stratum at point P0, take another n known points P1(x1,y1,z1), P2(x2,y2,z2), ..., P0 at different directions near P0. n (x n ,y n ,z n ), find the value of P0, P1, ..., P n The plane where the sum of the squares of the distances is the smallest is found, and the inclination and azimuth of this plane are taken as the inclination and azimuth of the formation at point P0. The calculation steps are as follows:

[0077] (1) Input P0, P1, ..., P n The coordinates of the point are x0, y0, z0; x1, y1, z1; ...; x n ,y n ,z n .

[0078] (2) Calculate a according to the following formula ij (i=1,2,3;j=1,2,3),d j (j=1,2,3)

[0079]

[0080]

[0081]

[0082] (3) Calculate D, D1, and D2 according to the following formulas.

[0083]

[0084]

[0085]

[0086] (4) Calculate c1 and c2 according to the following formula.

[0087] c1=D1 / D, c2=D2 / D.

[0088] (5) Calculate the azimuth of the formation at point P0 by the following formula:

[0089]

[0090]

[0091] (6) Press to calculate the inclination angle θ of the formation at point P0.

[0092]

[0093] S4: The first arrival time is divided into azimuths, and azimuthally isotropic first arrival wave tomographic inversion is performed to obtain the velocity, azimuth angle and inclination angle of the main energy ray for each azimuth inversion result.

[0094] S5: Due to the influence of anisotropy, the results of different azimuthal inversions are different. The present invention backcalculates Epsilon and Delta based on these differences. Theoretically, the isotropic tomographic inversion still performed in the azimuthal inversion here is inconsistent with the actual geological conditions. Therefore, it is used as the initial field of the anisotropic attribute parameters Epsilon and Delta.

[0095] (1) Assume that there is a ray I passing through a near-surface imaging unit, and the inclination angle θ of this ray is known: i (i=1,2,L,I), azimuth and the group velocity V on each ray i (i=1,2,L,I), the corresponding group slowness is Assume that the imaging unit is a TTI medium, and the inclination and azimuth of its symmetry axis are θ0 and The angles between each ray and the axis of symmetry (i.e., group angles) are φ i (i=1,2,L,I). Establish the following system of equations about the parameters a1, a2 and a3.

[0096]

[0097] in,

[0098]

[0099] (2) Use the least squares method to solve the above equations and obtain the parameters a1, a2 and a3.

[0100] (3) Solving the following equations, we can obtain the velocity V in the direction of the symmetry axis. P⊥ And Thomsen parameters Epsilon and Delta.

[0101]

[0102] S6: Under the anisotropic model, the propagation velocity of seismic waves varies with the angle between the velocity and the normal direction of the stratum. The velocity here refers to the propagation velocity perpendicular to the interface, that is, the velocity in the direction of the normal direction of the interface. Here, the initial velocity model is still established based on the refraction wave delay time method.

[0103] S7: Forward modeling of the anisotropic first arrival travel time to obtain the theoretical first arrival time.

[0104] The wavefront time equation for anisotropic media is:

[0105]

[0106] Where τ is the wavefront time, α is the phase angle, and v(α) is the phase velocity. Thomsen obtained an approximate expression for the phase velocity under weak anisotropy conditions:

[0107] v(α)=v n (1+εsin 4 α+δsin 2 αcos 2 α)

[0108] v n is the velocity in the normal direction of the formation, δ and ε are Thomsen parameters.

[0109] Solve equation (1) to obtain the first arrival time and ray path.

[0110] S8: According to the previously determined ray path and first arrival time, the length of the ray in the grid Δl and the picking time and calculated travel time difference Δt are obtained, and the anisotropic first arrival wave tomography inversion equation is established, which includes three unknowns: formation normal velocity, Epsilon and Delta.

[0111]

[0112] in:

[0113]

[0114] Where subscript i is the ray number and j is the grid number.

[0115] S9: The sparse inversion equation group in wavelet domain is established, and the tomographic inversion equation is subjected to wavelet transformation to form a sparse equation group.

[0116] Let I, J, K be the number of grids in the z, y and x directions. Any ray satisfies the following equation:

[0117]

[0118] For example, if the grid slowness Δs is transformed by orthogonal wavelet in the x and y directions, it can be decomposed into the smoothness coefficient x and the detail coefficient d. Since the detail coefficient is approximately 0, Δs can be approximately expressed by x as:

[0119]

[0120] where h x and h y is the reconstruction filter in the x and y directions. Substituting Δs in the equation with the above formula, we obtain the following equation with the wavelet coefficient x as the unknown number:

[0121]

[0122] In the above formula, the dimension of the wavelet coefficient x is N=I*J*K / 4, which is one-fourth of the dimension I*J*K of Δs. The coefficient Δl of the original equation is decomposed by wavelet to obtain the coefficient of the new equation, and the unknown number of the new equation is one-tenth of the original equation.

[0123] S10: LSQR least squares QR decomposition to solve the inverse equation.

[0124] Since the equations of tomographic inversion are all ill-conditioned and have no exact solution, we can only find its optimal solution. Different optimization methods will result in different solutions. The LSQR algorithm takes up less memory, has moderate speed, fast convergence and stable results. This method is often used in conventional tomographic inversion.

[0125] The LSQR algorithm is an algorithm for calculating large sparse linear equations, proposed by Paige and Saunders in 1982. The method is mainly used to solve the following linear equations (A is an m*n matrix, m>n) and keep the second-order residual norm as small as possible:

[0126] Ax=b

[0127]

[0128] in

[0129] A={c ij} M×N

[0130] b=[Δt1,Δt2,...,Δt M ] T

[0131] x=[x1,x2,...,x N ] T

[0132] For traditional least squares problems, the solution to the equation can be directly found, but for large sparse matrices, it is often an ill-conditioned problem (overdetermined or underdetermined system of equations). Therefore, the LSQR method does not directly solve x, but adheres to the principle of least squares and seeks the best solution in the space defined by the normal equation.

[0133] S11: There are two evaluation methods for inversion result evaluation: one is that the iterative convergence difference is less than a given threshold, and the other is that the convergence difference of the last few iterations tends to be stable.

[0134] Based on the velocity field, Epsilon field and Delta field generated by each iterative inversion, anisotropic first arrival travel time forward modeling is performed to obtain the theoretical synthetic time. The mean square error between this set of time and the actual first arrival time is called the iterative convergence difference. When the iterative convergence difference is less than the given threshold, the inversion result can be considered reliable and the inversion result is output. Due to different iterative convergence differences in different work areas, it is difficult to give a reasonable threshold in actual production. Another evaluation method is to consider that the iterative convergence difference is stable, that is, as the number of iterations increases, the iterative convergence difference no longer decreases, and the inversion result is considered reasonable and the inversion result is output.

[0135] S12: If the iterative convergence conditions are met, the inversion results are output, including the normal velocity field, Epsilon field and Delta field; if the iterative convergence conditions are not met, the model is updated and S6 to S10 are repeated until the convergence conditions are met.

[0136] The present invention is closer to the actual geological conditions and the propagation laws of seismic waves in terms of theoretical assumptions and actual inversion results, providing a near-surface model that is more in line with the actual geological conditions for pre-stack depth migration, and advancing the current "static correction" based on isotropy and pre-stack depth migration on undulating surfaces to pre-stack depth migration on anisotropic undulating surfaces, thereby improving the imaging quality of seismic data in dual-complex exploration areas. This is also a huge technological advancement. By using it for pre-stack depth migration on undulating surfaces, better imaging effects have been achieved than ever before. The application effect of the two-dimensional survey line in a mountainous area in Xiqiu is demonstrated here.

[0137] Figure 6 It is the first arrival time and topography of the two-dimensional survey line, with an elevation difference of 700 meters; Figure 7 It is a dip field established based on previous isotropic deep deflection profiles, with high and steep shallow surface structures and dramatic lateral variations; Figure 8 and Fig. 9 These are the velocity models obtained by isotropic and anisotropic tomographic inversion. It is not difficult to find that the shallow surface velocity law of anisotropic inversion is more reasonable.
