TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of seismic data acquisition, in particular to a node seismic data observation system rapid inspection method. BACKGROUND
[0002] In oil seismic exploration, errors in the seismic data observation system can cause confusion in the receiving relationship and can seriously affect single-shot quality and subsequent processing work. Node high-efficiency acquisition requires the recovery of a large amount of node data every day, and these data need to be processed for a long time through multiple steps before they can be synthesized into normal shot gather data. Conventional shot gather observation system quality control methods seriously restrict the efficiency of node high-efficiency acquisition.
[0003] Chinese patent application CN111352152A discloses a seismic data observation system rapid quality control method, which includes obtaining seismic data of field instruments, relationship files, source files and receiving files; extracting parameter information in the seismic data, the parameter information including shot point coordinates of a single shot, and channel numbers, line point numbers and geophone point coordinates of a single shot receiving line; generating a migration result according to the shot point coordinates of the single shot, the geophone point coordinates of the single shot receiving line, the source file and the receiving file; and generating a loss result according to the channel numbers, line point numbers of the single shot receiving line and the relationship file. This invention realizes rapid inspection of the seismic data observation system by rapidly detecting seismic data and various files, to ensure that the seismic data meets relevant technical requirements and industry standards, improve the efficiency and accuracy of massive data observation system inspection, eliminate quality problems associated with the observation system, and reduce the cost of high-efficiency acquisition exploration.
[0004] At present, a rapid inspection method is still needed for node seismic data. SUMMARY
[0005] The main purpose of the present application is to provide a node seismic data observation system rapid inspection method. The present application method can more quickly and accurately determine whether the observation system is incorrect by calculating the time difference between the theoretical first arrival and the picked first arrival in the common geophone gather.
[0006] To achieve the above purpose, the present application adopts the following technical solutions:
[0007] The present application provides a node seismic data observation system rapid inspection method, which includes the following steps: sorting the node-acquired seismic data into common geophone gathers; calculating the theoretical first arrival time; automatically picking the first arrival near the theoretical first arrival time; calculating the time difference between the theoretical first arrival and the picked first arrival of each gather; statistically analyzing the first arrival time difference of each common geophone gather; and inspecting the common geophone gather with abnormal first arrival time difference.
[0008] Further, the original data collected by the node is cut according to the shooting time of each shot to remove invalid data, then is combined into normal trace data, and then is sorted according to the geophone stake number to form a common geophone gather, and the common geophone gather is sorted according to the shot point stake number.
[0009] Further, if the surface structure is simple, the method for calculating the theoretical first arrival time is:
[0010] According to the offset, the theoretical first arrival time is calculated by the following formula:
[0011] t=t0+d / v
[0012] In the formula, t is the theoretical first arrival time, t0 is the zero offset wellhead time, d is the offset, and v is the refracted wave velocity.
[0013] The offset is calculated by the coordinates of the shot point and the coordinates of the geophone, and the calculation formula of the offset is:
[0014]
[0015] In the formula, d is the offset, (x s ,y s ) is the coordinates of the shot point, and (x d ,y d ) is the coordinates of the geophone.
[0016] Further, the offset and the first arrival time table generated by manually picking up the first arrival can be used to fit and interpolate to calculate the theoretical first arrival time.
[0017] Further, when the near-surface structure is complex, the theoretical first arrival time is calculated by using the near-surface velocity model forward.
[0018] Further, a time window is opened around the theoretical first arrival time to automatically pick up the first arrival, and the time window has a middle point of the theoretical first arrival time and extends 200-300 ms upward and downward.
[0019] Further, the average value of the absolute value of the first arrival time difference of each common geophone gather is calculated, and a gather-average value crossplot is drawn.
[0020] Further, the average value of the absolute value of the time difference is calculated by the following formula:

[0022] In the formula, |Δt i | is the absolute value of the first arrival time difference of the i-th trace in the common geophone gather, and n is the number of seismic traces contained in the common geophone gather.
[0023] Furthermore, based on the intersection plot and the first arrival picking of the gathers, appropriate thresholds for the average value and standard deviation are set, and common receiver gathers exceeding the thresholds are checked.

The threshold value can be selected as 1.5 to 2 times of the average value, and the specific value should be determined according to the deviation of the theoretical first arrival and the picked first arrival. In this embodiment, the threshold value of the average value of the absolute value of the first arrival time difference can be selected as 100.
