With the exploration focus gradually shifting to lithologic reservoirs, the demand for high-precision imaging is increasing day by day. The reverse time migration imaging technology can obtain high-precision and high-amplitude-preserving seismic profiles. However, the traditional reverse time migration imaging method based on the central finite difference scheme has limited ability to improve accuracy, and the improvement of accuracy often comes at the cost of computational efficiency.

[0030] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions in this specification, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this specification will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of this specification. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of this specification without making creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of this application.
[0031] In the first aspect, as Figure 1 shown, Figure 1 This is the flowchart of the high-precision compact difference reverse-time migration imaging method provided by the embodiments of this specification, which specifically includes:
[0032] S1, input the migration velocity model and seismic records, and at the same time set the imaging parameters. Generate the seismic wavefield according to the migration velocity model, seismic records, and imaging parameters.
[0033] The imaging parameters here include the spatial sampling step sizes dx and dz of the model, the time sampling step size dt, the maximum calculation time t max , the source wavelet frequency f, the number of shots n s , the shot interval d s , the number of receiving points n r , and the receiving point interval d r .
[0034] S2, extend the seismic wavefield in the forward time propagation direction, and store the wavefield values at each moment to generate the forward-propagated wavefield
[0035] The extension of the seismic wavefield uses the two-dimensional acoustic wave equation, as shown below:
[0036]
[0037] Wherein, u(x, z) is the sound pressure, v(x, z) is the velocity, t represents time, x and z are spatial coordinates, and f(t) is the source time function.
[0038] Forward continuation uses a Ricker wavelet as the source, starting from time t = 0 until the set maximum calculation time t max , and stores the seismic wave field at each discrete time during the continuation process.
[0039] The solution to equation (1) uses a second-order central difference in time and a fourth-order compact difference in space. Among them, the fourth-order compact difference in space for solving the second derivative of the sound pressure u(x, z) with respect to the spatial coordinate x is as follows:
[0040]
[0041] Similarly, the fourth-order compact difference in space for solving the second derivative of the sound pressure u(x, z) with respect to the spatial coordinate z is as follows:
[0042]
[0043] In equations (2) and (3), M and N are the horizontal and vertical grid points of the migration velocity model, respectively.
[0044] Thus, the discrete format of equation (1) with second-order central difference in time and fourth-order compact difference in space can be written as:
[0045]
[0046] Wherein, and are the second derivatives of the sound pressure u(x, z) with respect to the spatial coordinates x and z, respectively, and are calculated by equations (2) and (3).
[0047] S3. Perform reverse time continuation on the geophone wave field along the reverse time propagation direction to generate a reverse continuation wave field.
[0048] The and used in reverse continuation are the same as those in forward continuation. Starting from the maximum time t max , perform reverse time continuation on the geophone wave field along the reverse time propagation direction until reaching the moment t = 0.
[0049] S4. Perform cross-correlation imaging on the forward continuation wave field and the reverse continuation wave field to generate a reverse time migration profile.
[0050] For example, the cross-correlation imaging condition here can adopt a source-normalized imaging condition:
[0051]
[0052] According to actual needs, other mutually related imaging methods can also be adopted. In the formula, R im (x, z) is the imaging result, F(x, z, t) is the forward-propagating wavefield, and B(x, z, t) is the backward-propagating wavefield.
[0053] S5. Stack the reverse-time migration profiles of each shot point to obtain the imaging result.
[0054] Stack the multi-shot reverse-time migration profiles to obtain the stacked profile, and perform Laplace filtering on the stacked profile to filter out low-frequency noise and obtain the final imaging result.
[0055] By inputting the migration velocity model and seismic records, and setting the imaging parameters at the same time, generate the seismic wavefield according to the migration velocity model, seismic records, and imaging parameters; extend the seismic wavefield along the forward propagation direction of time, and store the wavefield values at each moment to generate the forward-propagating wavefield; perform reverse-time extension on the geophone wavefield along the reverse propagation direction of time to generate the backward-propagating wavefield; perform cross-correlation imaging on the forward-propagating wavefield and the backward-propagating wavefield to generate the reverse-time migration profile; stack the reverse-time migration profiles of each shot point to obtain the imaging result. Thus, when performing reverse-time migration imaging of the acoustic wave equation, higher-precision imaging can be achieved through finite-difference calculation.
[0056] To illustrate the method of the present invention in more detail, the actual application effect of the present invention in the Marmousi model is given, and the specific process is as Figure 1 shown. Input the migration velocity model (as Figure 2 shown), seismic records (as Figure 3 shown), and set the imaging parameters at the same time: the number of grid points of the model is 1360x700, the spatial sampling step is 5m, the time sampling step is 0.3ms, the maximum calculation time is 2.1s, the source wavelet frequency is 30Hz, the number of shots is 68, the shot interval is 100m, the number of receiving points is 1360, and the receiving point interval is 5m. Note that Figure 3 shows the seismic record diagram of the 35th shot, not all the seismic records. Extend the seismic wavefield along the forward propagation direction of time, and store the wavefield values at each moment. Taking the 35th shot as an example, Figure 4 is the forward-propagating wavefield of the 35th shot at 1s. Perform reverse-time extension on the geophone wavefield along the reverse propagation direction of time, and perform cross-correlation imaging on the wavefields at the same moment during the forward and backward propagation processes to obtain the reverse-time migration profile; Figure 5 is the backward-propagating wavefield of the 35th shot at 1s, Figure 6 is the reverse-time migration profile diagram obtained by performing cross-correlation imaging. Stack the multi-shot reverse-time migration profiles, and perform Laplace filtering on the stacked profile to filter out low-frequency noise and obtain the final imaging result.Figure 7 It is the stacked profile before filtering, Figure 8 It is the final imaging result after filtering. It can be seen that the method described in the present invention can accurately image the Marmousi model with complex structures, especially for deep horizons.
