During field seismic data acquisition, seismic work areas are often located in densely networked oilfield well areas with complex surface conditions, dense buildings, crisscrossing roads, and numerous oil wells, joint stations, oil and gas pipelines, and high-voltage lines. Due to the unique characteristics of these mining and urban environments, various environmental noises are inevitably present in single-shot seismic records.

[0066] Step 4: Use the sinusoidal simulation function to remove single-frequency noise from the seismic record signal to obtain the denoised seismic record signal.

[0067] The noise reduction principle of the present invention will be explained below with reference to specific embodiments:

[0068] Assuming the harmonic wavelet is a complex wavelet, its frequency domain expression is:

[0069]

[0070] Its time-domain representation is:

[0071]

[0072] Harmonic wavelets have a box-shaped characteristic, which makes them less prone to spectral leakage during frequency domain transformation. However, they can exhibit the Gipps phenomenon in the time domain. To overcome this drawback, the edge-finding method is generally used in practice.

[0073] Extending formula (1) gives:

[0074]

[0075] The corresponding time-domain representation is:

[0076] w m,n (x)=(e i2πnx -e i2mπx ) / (i2(nm)πx) (4)

[0077] In the formula, m and n are the lower and upper limits of the harmonic wavelet transform. m and n are real numbers, and nm>0. When n=2 and m=1, the above formula becomes formula (2).

[0078] Given the displacement step size k / (nm) of the harmonic wavelet, formula (4) becomes:

[0079]

[0080] Equation (5) is the general expression for harmonic wavelets with a bandwidth of (nm) and an analysis center at x = k / (nm). Clearly, equation (5) is formally identical to that of the binary wavelet. The widespread application of harmonic wavelets stems not only from their numerous advantages but also from their fast algorithm.

[0081] The single-frequency noise on the seismic profile represents the impact of oilfield facilities such as high-voltage lines, oil wells, and pumping stations operating normally near the seismic acquisition site on the seismic acquisition process. These facilities have relatively stable transmission frequencies and amplitudes during transmission, a reality that provides the basis for this invention to simulate using a sine function. With the sine simulation function, this information can be subtracted from the seismic record, resulting in a seismic record free of single-frequency noise industrial interference. However, any denoising process inevitably damages the effective wave to varying degrees. To minimize the impact on the effective signal during single-frequency noise removal, the denoising process should be performed within a finite frequency band. Due to the arbitrary frequency division capability and frequency leakage-free advantage of harmonic wavelet transform, this invention uses harmonic wavelet packet transform to divide the signal into a finite frequency band with single-frequency noise, placing the sine function simulation and subtraction operation within this finite frequency band. This approach reduces the impact on the effective wave during the denoising process.

[0082] 1. Sine function to simulate single-frequency noise

[0083] For seismic records containing single-frequency noise, they can be represented as:

[0084] x(t)=v(t)+s(t), t=Δt,2Δt,…,Δt·N, (6)

[0085] In formula (6), Δt is the sampling interval, N is the channel length, v(t) is the single-frequency noise, and s(t) is the signal. s(t) may also contain other interferences; for ease of discussion, these other interferences are set to zero. According to the propagation law of single-frequency noise, v(t) can be written in the form of a sine function.

[0086]

[0087] In formula (7), A is the amplitude of the sine function. Given its phase, the following question is how to determine the amplitude A and the phase.

[0088] Let AM i These are the peak values ​​of each peak point in the seismic record (signal). These peak values ​​contain the contribution of v(t), AMV. i It also contains the contribution of signal s(t) in AMS. i To find its mean, we have:

[0089]

[0090] In formula (8), M represents the number of peak points. Considering the function formed by the peaks of s(t) along the vertical direction as a random function with zero mean, we have:

[0091]

[0092] A represents the amplitude of the single-frequency noise to be determined.

[0093] Phase of a simulated sine function A simple method is used to obtain this value. Since single-frequency noise dominates in seismic records with single-frequency noise, its phase can be considered as the phase of the single-frequency noise. Therefore:

[0094]

[0095] N is the same as equation (7). The sine function with zero phase is v'(t)=A·sin(2πf·j·Δt). Let the time positions of the first peak points of these two functions be i·Δt and j·Δt respectively, then we should have:

[0096]

[0097]

[0098] This yields the required phase. Amplitude A and phase Substituting into equation (7), we obtain the simulation function v(t).

[0099] 2. Frequency determination of single-frequency noise

[0100] The most significant characteristic of single-frequency noise is that its power spectrum in the frequency domain is significantly higher than that of other frequencies within a certain local region. Based on this characteristic, the frequency of single-frequency noise can be determined very conveniently.

[0101] The input record s(t) is transformed to the frequency domain using FFT to obtain S(f), and its power spectrum P(f) is calculated. Local power spectrum maxima are found using a maximum search method, and the frequency of the single-frequency noise can be determined by applying a ratio method among these maxima. Specifically:

[0102]

[0103] Let P(k) be the local power spectral maximum, k be the frequency, N be the length of the local region, and λ be a threshold value. Then k is the frequency of a single-frequency noise.

[0104] This invention provides a harmonic wavelet domain fitting denoising method, comprising: analyzing the characteristics of different noises within the frequency range; simulating correlated noise using a sine function; performing wavelet transform on the seismic record signal; fitting various noises in different wavelet domains; and subtracting or suppressing the noise in the corresponding wavelet domain to obtain the denoised seismic record signal. The advantage of this method is that it leverages the excellent time-frequency characteristics of wavelet transform for frequency division. After transforming the original data to the wavelet domain, the characteristics of various noises become more prominent, allowing for a more accurate fitting of various environmental noises. Compared to conventional shot domain methods, wavelet domain methods remove hyperbolic noise while minimizing damage to the effective signal.

[0105] Figure 2 This is a typical single-shot unit within the study area, and various types of interference are evident. Figure 3 This is the result after using the conventional six-segment denoising method. As can be seen from the comparison, most of the noise is suppressed to a certain extent, and the effective waves submerged in the noise are revealed, but some noise still remains on the denoised single-shot. Figure 4 The single-shot recordings are based on conventional six-part denoising and then enhanced with wavelet frequency division denoising. This demonstrates further noise reduction and a significantly improved signal-to-noise ratio. This is also evident in the comparison of the superimposed profiles before and after denoising using the old and new methods. Figures 5-7 ).

[0106] Figures 8-10 Analysis using different denoising signal-to-noise ratios shows that the signal-to-noise ratio of the data is significantly improved after comprehensive denoising. This effectively solves the special interference problems of oilfield facilities and other factors in high-density seismic data in densely networked oilfield well areas. Compared with previous processing methods, the signal-to-noise ratio is further improved, and the signal-to-noise ratio of the processed data basically reaches above 2.

[0112] The present invention also provides a computer-readable storage medium having a computer program stored thereon, wherein the computer program, when executed by a processor, implements the steps in the above-described harmonic wavelet domain fitting denoising method.
