Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of oil and gas exploration seismic data processing, and in particular to an imaging-oriented seismic data construction method. Background Art
[0002] With the continuous advancement of oil and gas exploration and development, reservoir types are gradually shifting towards complex and subtle reservoirs, placing greater demands on seismic technology for higher resolution and fidelity. Consequently, single-point high-density seismic technology has emerged, requiring single-point reception, wide azimuth angles, and high shot density. This technology has been widely deployed in exploration areas in eastern China, improving imaging resolution and fidelity. However, favorable exploration areas are hampered by surface obstacles. Construction is prohibited in prohibited areas, and both excitation and reception are restricted in restricted areas. This results in significant gaps in seismic data, insufficient illumination of geological targets, and poor imaging quality. Currently, conventional solutions use algorithms based on mathematical transformations to regularize or interpolate seismic data before stacking. This approach fails to account for subsurface illumination of geological targets and is ineffective in improving the imaging of missing seismic data. Another approach involves splicing older data for stacking. However, due to variations in frequency, amplitude, phase, and time difference, the consistency of older data is poor, resulting in suboptimal splicing and unsatisfactory results, making it difficult to meet the requirements of detailed exploration.

[0011] Step 3: transform the frequency domain seismic data into the frequency wavenumber domain;
[0012] Step 4: For each frequency, find the Fourier coefficient with the maximum frequency amplitude value;
[0013] Step 5: Obtain the optimal reconstruction coefficient;
[0014] Step 6: Use the optimal reconstruction coefficients to perform inverse Fourier transform to obtain optimized constructed seismic data that meets the target observation system.
[0015] The purpose of the present invention can also be achieved by the following technical measures:
[0016] In step 1, the seismic data collected in the field is denoted as D, and the corresponding observation system is denoted as S. According to the imaging requirements of the underground geological target and considering the illumination of the underground geological body, the target observation system M is designed.
[0017] In step 2, the field collected seismic data D is input, and a Fourier transform is performed on each seismic trace to convert the time domain data (t, x, y) into frequency domain data (f, x, y), where t represents time, x and y represent the horizontal and vertical coordinates of space, and f represents frequency.
[0018] In step 3, a two-dimensional discrete Fourier transform is performed on the frequency domain data (f, x, y) to convert it into the frequency wavenumber domain (f, kx, ky), where kx and ky represent the wavenumbers corresponding to the x direction and y direction.
[0019] In step 4, the Fourier coefficient with the maximum amplitude value of each frequency is obtained, and this coefficient is inversely transformed back to the time domain and subtracted from the seismic data until the calculation of all frequencies is completed.
[0020] In step 4, for each frequency f, select the Fourier coefficient with the largest amplitude value and record it as (kx,ky) max , after inverse transforming it back to the time domain, it is subtracted from the acquired seismic data; each frequency f is operated according to this method.
[0021] In step 4, the frequency f is selected from 0 to 60 Hz.
[0022] In step 4, the frequency f is selected from 0 to 65 Hz.
[0023] In step 5, step 4 is repeated until the error is less than the set threshold, and the optimal reconstruction coefficient is obtained.
[0024] In step 6, the optimal reconstruction coefficient is used to perform inverse Fourier transform with the target observation system M as the measurement plate to obtain the imaging optimized constructed seismic data R at each source and receiving point position in the target observation system M.

[0048] In a specific embodiment 1 of the present invention, the imaging-oriented seismic data construction method of the present invention specifically includes the following steps:
[0049] (1) The seismic data collected in the field is denoted as D, and the corresponding observation system is denoted as S. According to the imaging requirements of the underground geological target and considering the illumination of the underground geological body, the target observation system M is designed.
[0050] (2) Input the seismic data D collected in the field, and perform Fourier transform on each seismic trace to convert the time domain data (t, x, y) into frequency domain data (f, x, y), where t represents time, x and y represent the horizontal and vertical coordinates of space, and f represents frequency.

[0055] In a specific embodiment 2 of the present invention, as Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 Shown are the operating steps of the imaging-oriented seismic data construction method.
[0056] In step 101, the actual observation system is collected in the field. Due to the influence of surface obstacles, the observation system S shot points are seriously missing ( Figure 2 ), according to the geological body lighting requirements, a target observation system M for the shot point is set up ( Figure 3 ).
[0057] Step 102: Input the seismic data D collected in the field, and perform Fourier transform on each seismic trace to convert the time domain data (t, x, y) into frequency domain data (f, x, y), where t represents time, x and y represent the horizontal and vertical coordinates of space, and f represents frequency.

[0059] Step 104: For each frequency f, select the Fourier coefficient with the largest amplitude value and record it as (kx, ky) max , after inversely transforming it back to the time domain, it is subtracted from the acquired seismic data. Each frequency f is operated according to this method. The frequency f here is selected from 0 to 60 Hz.

[0062] In order to illustrate the advantages of the imaging-oriented seismic data construction method, the seismic data D of the field acquisition observation system S is reconstructed using conventional methods and superimposed with the seismic data R obtained by optimizing the target observation system M designed by the present invention. It can be found that the superposition results of the optimized seismic data of the present invention ( Figure 5 ) is better than the superposition result of the conventional method to reconstruct the data ( Figure 6 ), verifying the practical effect of the present invention.
[0063] In a third specific embodiment of the present invention, the imaging-oriented seismic data construction method of the present invention specifically includes the following steps:

[0066] Step 103: Perform a two-dimensional discrete Fourier transform on the frequency domain data (f, x, y) to convert it into the frequency wave number domain (f, kx, ky), where kx and ky represent the wave numbers corresponding to the x direction and y direction.
[0067] Step 104: For each frequency f, select the Fourier coefficient with the largest amplitude value and record it as (kx, ky) max , after inversely transforming it back to the time domain, it is subtracted from the acquired seismic data. Each frequency f is operated according to this method. The frequency f here is selected from 0 to 65 Hz.
[0068] Step 105: Repeat step 4 until the error is less than the set threshold, and obtain the optimal reconstruction coefficient.
[0069] Step 106: Using the optimal reconstruction coefficient and the target observation system M as the measurement plate, perform inverse Fourier transform to obtain the imaging optimization reconstruction seismic data R ( Figure 9 ).
[0070] In order to illustrate the advantages of the imaging-oriented seismic data construction method, the seismic data D of the field acquisition observation system S is reconstructed using conventional methods, and the seismic data R obtained by the optimized construction of the target observation system M designed by the present invention are respectively subjected to pre-stack time migration.
