Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of oil and gas geophysical exploration seismic data processing, and in particular to a formation absorption compensation method and system based on seismic signal space. Background Art

[0002] Seismic exploration is a geophysical method for detecting subsurface structures. This method artificially excites seismic waves at the surface, receives reflected signals from the subsurface, and analyzes and processes these signals to detect and predict the structure of the strata. The subsurface medium is not an ideal elastic medium, but rather a viscoelastic medium with an absorbing effect. Seismic waves propagating in viscoelastic media experience frequency absorption and velocity dispersion, significantly reducing the resolution and amplitude preservation of the seismic signal.

[0003] Compensating for the absorption and dispersion of seismic waves in viscoelastic media is a crucial research topic in high-resolution seismic signal processing. Currently, there are two main types of absorption compensation methods: those based on wavefield continuation in viscoelastic media and those based on non-stationary inversion. Seismic wave absorption is a frequency-dependent exponential decay process: higher frequencies and longer propagation times result in greater absorption attenuation. Absorption compensation, the inverse of formation absorption, is a frequency-dependent exponential amplification process. Noise interference, which is inherently present in seismic recordings, is also exponentially amplified during the absorption compensation process. Consequently, absorption compensation suffers from significant instability and amplifies high-frequency noise. While improving seismic data resolution, absorption compensation also significantly reduces the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), severely limiting the effectiveness of these two methods in practical seismic data processing.

[0004] In practice, gain limiting and frequency limiting strategies are often employed to enhance the stability of the compensation process and suppress the amplification effect of high-frequency noise. Gain limiting imposes a threshold on the compensation level, preventing further increases above this threshold. Frequency limiting, similar to gain limiting, eliminates absorption compensation for seismic signals above a certain frequency. Clearly, both of these limiting strategies are compromises, enhancing the stability of the compensation process while also reducing the accuracy of the actual seismic signal.

[0061] The conjugate gradient method is used to invert the objective function and obtain the seismic records after absorption compensation.

[0062] The present invention provides a method for compensating for formation absorption based on spatial coherence of seismic signals, and its specific steps are as follows:

[0063] Step S1: Input the seismic record u(x,t), where t is the reflection time and x is the surface position.

[0064] Step S2: Input the formation absorption quality factor Q(t).

[0072] Step S6: Connect all input seismic records u(x, t) end to end to form an input seismic record vector u.

[0082] This embodiment is an application example of the present invention in a certain three-dimensional block in Shengli Oilfield. Figure 2 It is the earthquake record before the absorption compensation of the 3D work area. Figure 3 is the underground quality factor model corresponding to the earthquake record. The quality factor describes the strength of the ground absorption. The smaller the quality factor, the stronger the ground absorbs seismic waves.

[0083] Figure 4 It is the amplitude spectrum of the earthquake record before absorption compensation. Due to the absorption of seismic waves by the underground medium, the frequency of the seismic signal is relatively low, with the main frequency being around 20 Hz.

As can be seen, the present invention effectively suppresses the impact of noise interference on absorption compensation by introducing seismic signal coherence constraints. After absorption compensation, the dominant frequency of the seismic signal increases from 20 Hz to 30 Hz. While maintaining the signal-to-noise ratio, the resolution of the seismic recording is significantly improved.

It is simple to operate, stable in operation, and effective in suppressing the influence of noise interference on absorption compensation, thereby improving the compensation accuracy of seismic signals.

[0088] This paper proposes a method for compensating for formation absorption based on the spatial coherence of seismic signals. Unlike noise interference, seismic signals exhibit spatial continuity and coherence. This method incorporates spatial coherence into the regularization conditions for the absorption compensation problem. Under the constraints of spatial coherence, the method inverts and recovers seismic records after absorption compensation, suppressing the amplification effect of high-frequency noise and improving the accuracy of seismic signal compensation.

[0089] The above specific implementation methods further illustrate the objectives, technical solutions and beneficial effects of the present invention in detail. It should be understood that the above are only specific implementation methods of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.
