Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of geophysical exploration, and more specifically, to a near-surface velocity modeling method, device and electronic equipment with adaptive damping regularization, which can be applied to near-surface velocity modeling in geophysical exploration. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous development of oil and gas exploration in China, areas with undulating surfaces such as the piedmont zone have become the focus of current seismic exploration work. In these exploration areas with undulating surfaces, the sharp changes in near-surface elevation and velocity have caused relatively serious impacts on the acquisition, processing and interpretation of seismic data. The piedmont zones in the Kuqa Depression and Sichuan region have the dual complex characteristics of complex surface and complex underground structures, and are the hotspots of current seismic exploration processing research. When processing seismic data in exploration areas with complex near-surface characteristics, an accurate near-surface velocity model is the prerequisite and foundation for achieving good results in high-precision migration imaging, and is the key to implementing the structure.

[0003] The conventional practice of near-surface velocity modeling is to first perform first arrival picking, then establish an initial near-surface velocity, then perform ray tracing, calculate travel time residuals, solve equations, and then update the near-surface velocity, and continuously iterate to finally obtain the near-surface velocity. However, the tomography equation in conventional near-surface modeling is ill-conditioned. Without regularization constraints, local extrema will occur. In the subsequent iteration process, the high-speed anomaly makes the ray density in this area higher and higher, and it cannot be solved, ultimately resulting in inaccurate modeling. Moreover, the conventional damping operator is the regularization coefficient multiplied by the identity matrix. There are still two problems here. One is that it is difficult to determine the regularization coefficient, and the other is that the situation of local extrema cannot be alleviated. Therefore, it is expected to propose a method that can reduce the occurrence of local extrema in the near-surface velocity inversion result, making the near-surface model more stable and with higher accuracy. Summary of the Invention

[0004] Aiming at the deficiencies of the prior art, the present invention provides an adaptive damping regularization near-surface modeling method, device and electronic equipment. Among them, the adaptive damping regularization near-surface modeling method introduces an adaptive damping operator constraint when solving the tomography equation, so that the near-surface velocity inversion result reduces the occurrence of local extrema, and the near-surface model is more stable and has higher accuracy.

[0038] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail below. Although the preferred embodiments of the present invention are described below, it should be understood that the present invention can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments set forth herein.

[0039] A near-surface velocity modeling method with adaptive damping regularization includes:

[0040] Step 1: Perform ray tracing on the initial near-surface velocity model, calculate the ray paths from each shot point to the receiver point, and then establish the travel-time tomography kernel function K;

[0041] Step 2: Calculate the theoretical travel time based on the initial near-surface velocity model and the ray paths, and calculate the travel-time difference Δt between the theoretical travel time and the true travel time;

[0042] Step 3: Obtain the adaptive damping factor D based on the travel-time tomography kernel function K;

[0043] Step 4: Establish a tomography equation based on the travel-time tomography kernel function K, the travel-time difference Δt, and the adaptive damping factor D, and solve the tomography equation to obtain the updated near-surface velocity.

[0044] Optionally, use the fourth-order Runge-Kutta formula to calculate the ray-tracing equation (1) to obtain the ray paths from the shot point to the receiver point:

[0045]

[0046] where x, y, and z respectively represent the three-dimensional space coordinates, px , p y , p z represents the slowness in the x, y, and z directions at the current coordinate, v represents the velocity, τ represents the time, and θ, represents the dip angle and azimuth angle.

[0047] Optionally, the travel-time tomography kernel function K is an m-by-n matrix, where m represents the total number of rays and n represents the number of grids. The i-th column in K represents the length of the i-th ray passing through the grids.

[0048] Optionally, sum the columns of the travel-time tomography kernel function K and perform matrix diagonalization to obtain the adaptive damping factor D, as shown in Equation (2):

[0049] D = diag(1 T K) (2)

[0050] where 1 represents a 1-by-n vector of 1s, and diag represents the diagonalization operation.

[0051] Optionally, the tomography equation is as shown in Equation (3):

[0052]

[0053] where λ represents the regularization parameter of the damping term, 0 represents a 1-by-n vector of 0s, Δs is the slowness update amount with n columns, and Δt is the travel-time difference with m rows.

[0054] Conventional damping regularization is as follows:

[0055]

[0056] where λ represents the regularization parameter of the damping term, I is the identity matrix, the matrix is n-by-n, and 0 represents a 1-by-n vector of 0s. Conventional damping regularization has two problems. One is that it is difficult to determine the regularization coefficient, and the other is that it cannot alleviate the local extreme situation. In this application, the adaptive damping factor D is introduced into the tomography equation, which can more stably and efficiently obtain a near-surface velocity model with good stability and high accuracy, providing a high-quality near-surface velocity model for subsequent migration imaging.

[0057] Optionally, the range of the regularization parameter λ of the damping term is 0.1 to 1.

[0058] Optionally, the method for near-surface velocity modeling with adaptive damping regularization further includes:

[0059] Taking the updated near-surface velocity as the near-surface velocity, and repeating steps 1 to 4 until a preset number of iterations is reached.

[0060] Example 1:

[0061] An adaptive damping regularization method for near-surface velocity modeling, comprising:

[0062] Step 1: Perform ray tracing on the initial near-surface velocity model, calculate the ray paths from each shot point to the geophone points, and then establish a travel-time tomography kernel function K;

[0063] Step 2: Calculate the theoretical travel time based on the initial near-surface velocity model and the ray paths, and calculate the travel-time difference Δt between the theoretical travel time and the true travel time;

[0065] Step 4: Establish a tomography equation based on the travel-time tomography kernel function K, the travel-time difference Δt, and the adaptive damping factor D, solve the tomography equation, and obtain an updated near-surface velocity.

[0066] This method solves the problems of unstable velocity models and local extrema obtained by conventional near-surface velocity modeling methods. By introducing adaptive damping regularization, a more stable and efficient near-surface velocity model with good stability and high accuracy can be obtained, providing a high-quality near-surface velocity model for subsequent migration imaging. The technical effects of the present invention are illustrated by the following comparison with reference to embodiments:

[0067] Figure 2 Figure (a) shows the results of conventional near-surface modeling and near-surface modeling with adaptive damping regularization. Among them, (a) is conventional near-surface modeling, and (b) is near-surface modeling with adaptive damping regularization. It can be seen from Figure 2 (a) that there are many spherical local high values in the conventional modeling method, and adaptive damping regularization can solve this problem, and the obtained model is relatively smooth and natural as shown in (b);

[0068] Figure 3 Figure (a) shows the migration imaging of conventional near-surface modeling and (b) shows the migration imaging of near-surface modeling with adaptive damping regularization. By comparison, it can be clearly seen that the imaging quality and signal-to-noise ratio in (b) are higher, which indicates that the near-surface velocity model obtained by the adaptive damping regularization algorithm is more stable, and finally a high-quality migration imaging result is obtained.
