Description

[0002] Seismic imaging is a core technology in seismic data processing during seismic exploration. Currently, conventional seismic exploration involves generating seismic waves using artificial sources and then utilizing the reflection of these waves to obtain geological structures and subsurface information. In addition, passive source imaging methods, which directly acquire subsurface vibration waves without artificial seismic sources, are also widely used in seismic exploration. For example, fracturing detection technology in oil and gas exploration and rock fracture monitoring in coal mining both require source localization.

[0003] The biggest difference between passive source imaging and conventional seismic exploration is that the excitation time of the seismic source in conventional seismic exploration is fixed, allowing for seismic imaging based on the propagation patterns of seismic waves. However, the excitation time of a passive source is uncertain, posing technical challenges to source location and imaging. While there are many existing methods for passive source location, and they have mature applications in natural earthquake detection, passive sources in seismic exploration generally have weak energy, making passive source imaging impossible using ordinary natural earthquake location techniques. The primary passive source imaging technique in seismic exploration is interferometric imaging, which has relatively low longitudinal resolution at the source.

[0054] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0055] Seismic imaging is a core technology in seismic data processing during seismic exploration. Currently, conventional seismic exploration involves generating seismic waves using artificial sources and then utilizing the reflection of these waves to obtain geological structures and subsurface information. In addition, passive source imaging methods, which directly acquire subsurface vibration waves without artificial seismic sources, are also widely used in seismic exploration. For example, fracturing detection technology in oil and gas exploration and rock fracture monitoring in coal mining both require source localization.

[0056] The biggest difference between passive source imaging and conventional seismic exploration is that the excitation time of the seismic source in conventional seismic exploration is fixed, allowing for seismic imaging based on the propagation patterns of seismic waves. However, the excitation time of a passive source is uncertain, posing technical challenges to source location and imaging. While there are many existing methods for passive source location, and they have mature applications in natural earthquake detection, passive sources in seismic exploration generally have weak energy, making passive source imaging impossible using ordinary natural earthquake location techniques. The primary passive source imaging technique in seismic exploration is interferometric imaging, which has relatively low longitudinal resolution at the source.

[0057] Therefore, in order to solve the problem of accurate location and imaging processing of passive seismic sources in seismic exploration, embodiments of the present invention provide a seismic imaging method, apparatus, computer equipment, and storage medium.

[0058] The seismic imaging method provided in the embodiments of the present invention will be described below.

[0059] Example 1

[0060] like Figure 1 The diagram shown is a flowchart of a seismic imaging method provided in an embodiment of the present invention. The seismic imaging method may include the following steps:

[0061] Step S101: The initial seismic data of the passive source is cropped into multiple seismic record data.

[0062] The initial seismic data mentioned above are the results of continuous detection over a long period. To facilitate subsequent time-scan migration and overlay processing, the initial seismic data needs to be regularized. For example, it can be cropped according to a set duration to obtain multiple seismic records with the same sampling length. It should be noted that the sampling length of the cropped seismic records can be determined based on the approximate depth of the detection target, i.e., an empirical value. Furthermore, the deeper the epicenter, the longer the time it takes for the seismic source to propagate from underground to the surface, and the longer the corresponding sampling duration for cropping the initial seismic data; conversely, the shallower the epicenter, the shorter the sampling duration.

[0063] In one scenario, before cropping the initial seismic data of the passive source into multiple seismic record data, the method further includes: acquiring the initial seismic data of the passive source based on detector detection.

[0064] In one scenario, to improve the signal-to-noise ratio of seismic record data, after cropping the initial seismic data from the passive source into multiple seismic record data, the method further includes: preprocessing the multiple seismic record data, wherein the preprocessing includes filtering and / or denoising.

[0065] Step S102: Overlay the multiple seismic record data to obtain overlaid seismic data.

[0066] By cropping the initial seismic data from passive source detection to the same length, multiple seismic records of the same sampling length can be obtained. These multiple seismic records are then superimposed to obtain a single, stacked seismic record, i.e., the superimposed seismic data. Furthermore, this superposition process suppresses background noise, enhances the effective signal from the passive source, and further improves the signal-to-noise ratio.

[0067] Step S103: Perform migration processing on the superimposed seismic data according to the set source excitation time to obtain multiple migration profiles.

[0068] In conventional post-stack migration processing, the stacked recorded data conforms to the principle of an explosive reflector, meaning the seismic source is excited at time zero, and the ground begins receiving the signal from time zero. The excitation and reception times of the source are fixed; therefore, the migration process simply involves extending the wavefield direction to time zero to obtain the migration result. However, in passive imaging, the recorded wavefield's excitation time cannot be determined. Therefore, when the detector begins recording the wavefield, the source may have already been excited for some time or may have only excited after a period of recording. For example... Figure 2 As shown, the initial seismic data from the passive source was detected between 50ms and 100ms, not from the moment of zero. In this case, the timing of the offset imaging cannot be determined during seismic imaging.

[0069] Step S103 uses the time-scan migration method to migrate the recorded wavefield, i.e., the post-stack seismic data, according to different imaging times. The converged migration profile is determined from the migration results, and the final imaging profile of the passive source is determined according to step S104.

[0070] Step S104: The multiple offset profiles are superimposed to obtain the imaging profile of the passive seismic source.

[0071] It should be noted that the migration profiles obtained based on multiple imaging time migrations contain imaging results of passive source relocation. However, since the energy of passive sources is generally weak, it is difficult to manually select the imaging result profile from multiple migration profiles. Therefore, this invention superimposes multiple migration profiles obtained by time scanning migration. Imaging profiles with inaccurate imaging time cancel each other out after superposition, while imaging profiles with accurate imaging time have enhanced energy after superposition because the seismic waves converge at the imaging position, thus obtaining the final passive source imaging result profile.

[0072] See Figure 3 and Figure 4 , Figure 3This is a schematic diagram of the location of a passive seismic source provided in an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 4 To Figure 3 Multiple imaging profiles were obtained by time-scanning migration of the initial seismic data from the passive source shown. Figure 4 As can be seen, the imaging profile at seismic trace number 100 and detection recording time of 50ms has the best convergence. Therefore, this imaging profile can be manually selected as the imaging profile of the passive source. In practical applications, in order to better avoid the difficulty of manual selection, the final imaging profile can also be obtained by superimposing the various imaging profiles.

[0073] As described above, the seismic imaging scheme for passive sources provided by this invention involves scanning and migrating the stacked seismic data at multiple excitation times, and then superimposing the migration results from different excitation times, i.e., multiple migration profiles. It should be noted that for migration profiles with inaccurate excitation times, the corresponding seismic record data can cancel each other out. Therefore, by superimposing multiple migration profiles, accurate seismic imaging of passive sources can be obtained, thus solving the problem of uncertain excitation times of passive sources and achieving precise location and imaging processing of passive sources. This provides an efficient and accurate processing scheme for microseismic monitoring and passive source location. Moreover, this method is simple to implement, provides accurate location, and offers an effective processing technology for passive source imaging.

[0074] Example 2

[0075] like Figure 5 The diagram shown is another flowchart of a seismic imaging method provided in an embodiment of the present invention. The method may include the following steps:

[0076] Step S201: Calculate the maximum propagation time of the vibration at the maximum target depth of the passive seismic source to the ground.

[0077] Step S202: The initial seismic data is cropped according to the maximum propagation time to obtain multiple seismic record data with the same sampling length.

[0078] Step S203: Overlay the multiple seismic record data to obtain overlaid seismic data.

[0079] Step S204: Perform migration processing on the superimposed seismic data according to the set source excitation time to obtain multiple migration profiles.

[0080] Step S205: The multiple offset profiles are superimposed to obtain the imaging profile of the passive seismic source.

[0081] It should be noted that, Figure 5 The method embodiments shown have Figure 1 In addition to all the intended effects of the method embodiments shown, Figure 5 The illustrated method embodiment provides a way to set the source excitation time when cropping initial seismic data. Additionally, Figure 5 The method embodiment shown is only one specific way to determine the excitation time of the seismic source. Of course, there are other ways to set it, such as setting it based on empirical values. Figure 5 The specific method of source excitation time in the illustrated embodiment should not be construed as a limitation of the present invention.

[0082] Example 3

[0083] like Figure 6 The diagram shown is another flowchart of a seismic imaging method provided in an embodiment of the present invention. The method may include the following steps:

[0084] Step S301: The initial seismic data of the passive source is cropped into multiple seismic record data.

[0085] Step S302: Overlay the multiple seismic record data to obtain overlaid seismic data.

[0086] Step S303: Perform migration processing on the superimposed seismic data according to the set source excitation time to obtain multiple migration profiles.

[0087] Step S304: The multiple offset profiles are superimposed to obtain the imaging profile of the passive seismic source.

[0088] Step S305: Locate the passive seismic source based on the multiple offset profiles.

[0089] In one scenario, the step of locating the passive seismic source based on the plurality of offset profiles includes: selecting a target imaging profile from the plurality of offset profiles where seismic record data converges; obtaining the target excitation time corresponding to the target imaging profile; and calculating the depth information of the passive seismic source based on the target excitation time.

[0090] It should be noted that, Figure 6 The method embodiments shown have Figure 1 In addition to all the intended effects of the method embodiments shown, Figure 6 The illustrated method embodiment provides a specific way to obtain multiple migration profiles. By migrating the stacked seismic data according to a set source excitation time, multiple migration profiles can be obtained. Similarly, Figure 6 The method embodiments shown are merely one specific implementation of the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0091] Example 4

[0092] The seismic imaging device provided in the embodiments of the present invention will be described below.

[0093] like Figure 7 The diagram shown is a structural diagram of a seismic imaging device provided in an embodiment of the present invention. The device includes:

[0094] The initial data trimming module 410 is used to trim the initial seismic data of the passive source into multiple seismic record data.

[0095] The seismic data overlay module 420 is used to overlay the multiple seismic record data to obtain overlay seismic data;

[0096] The post-stack data migration module 430 is used to migrate the stacked seismic data according to the set source excitation time to obtain multiple migration profiles.

[0097] The imaging profile overlay module 440 is used to overlay the multiple offset profiles to obtain the imaging profile of the passive seismic source.

[0098] As described above, the seismic imaging scheme for passive sources provided by this invention involves scanning and migrating the stacked seismic data at multiple excitation times, and then superimposing the migration results from different excitation times, i.e., multiple migration profiles. It should be noted that for migration profiles with inaccurate excitation times, the corresponding seismic record data can cancel each other out. Therefore, by superimposing multiple migration profiles, accurate seismic imaging of passive sources can be obtained, thus solving the problem of uncertain excitation times of passive sources and achieving precise location and imaging processing of passive sources. This provides an efficient and accurate processing scheme for microseismic monitoring and passive source location. Moreover, this method is simple to implement, provides accurate location, and offers an effective processing technology for passive source imaging.

[0099] In one case, such as Figure 8 As shown, the device also includes an initial data acquisition module 450, which is used to acquire the initial seismic data of the passive source based on the detector before the initial data clipping module 410 clips the initial seismic data of the passive source into multiple seismic record data.

[0100] In one scenario, the initial data trimming module 410 is used to trim the initial seismic data according to a set duration to obtain multiple seismic record data with the same sampling length.

[0101] In one scenario, the initial data trimming module 410 is specifically used to calculate the maximum propagation time of vibration at the maximum target depth of the passive source to the ground; and to trim the initial seismic data according to the maximum propagation time to obtain multiple seismic record data with the same sampling length.

[0102] In one case, such as Figure 9 As shown, the device further includes a preprocessing module 460, which is used to preprocess the multiple seismic record data after the initial data clipping module 410 clips the initial seismic data of the passive source into multiple seismic record data, wherein the preprocessing includes filtering and / or noise reduction.

[0103] In one case, such as Figure 10 As shown, the device also includes a source location module 470, which is used to locate the passive source based on the multiple migration profiles after the post-stack data migration module performs migration processing on the stacked seismic data according to the set source excitation time.

[0104] In one scenario, the seismic source location module 470 is specifically used to select a target imaging profile from the plurality of offset profiles where the seismic record data converges; obtain the target excitation time corresponding to the target imaging profile; and calculate the depth information of the passive source based on the target excitation time.

[0105] Example 5

[0106] To address the aforementioned technical problems, the present invention provides a computer device, such as... Figure 11 As shown, it includes a memory 510, a processor 520, and a computer program stored in the memory and executable on the processor, the processor performing the above.

[0107] In some cases, the method implemented by the processor when executing the computer program may include steps S101 to S104:

[0108] like Figure 1 The diagram shown is a flowchart of a seismic imaging method provided in an embodiment of the present invention. The seismic imaging method may include the following steps:

[0109] Step S101: The initial seismic data of the passive source is cropped into multiple seismic record data.

[0110] The initial seismic data mentioned above are the results of continuous detection over a long period. To facilitate subsequent time-scan migration and overlay processing, the initial seismic data needs to be regularized. For example, it can be cropped according to a set duration to obtain multiple seismic records with the same sampling length. It should be noted that the sampling length of the cropped seismic records can be determined based on the approximate depth of the detection target, i.e., an empirical value. Furthermore, the deeper the epicenter, the longer the time it takes for the seismic source to propagate from underground to the surface, and the longer the corresponding sampling duration for cropping the initial seismic data; conversely, the shallower the epicenter, the shorter the sampling duration.

[0111] In one scenario, before cropping the initial seismic data of the passive source into multiple seismic record data, the method further includes: acquiring the initial seismic data of the passive source based on detector detection.

[0112] In one scenario, to improve the signal-to-noise ratio of seismic record data, after cropping the initial seismic data from the passive source into multiple seismic record data, the method further includes: preprocessing the multiple seismic record data, wherein the preprocessing includes filtering and / or denoising.

[0113] Step S102: Overlay the multiple seismic record data to obtain overlaid seismic data.

[0114] By cropping the initial seismic data from passive source detection to the same length, multiple seismic records of the same sampling length can be obtained. These multiple seismic records are then superimposed to obtain a single, stacked seismic record, i.e., the superimposed seismic data. Furthermore, this superposition process suppresses background noise, enhances the effective signal from the passive source, and further improves the signal-to-noise ratio.

[0115] Step S103: Perform migration processing on the superimposed seismic data according to the set source excitation time to obtain multiple migration profiles.

[0116] In conventional post-stack migration processing, the stacked recorded data conforms to the principle of an explosive reflector, meaning the seismic source is excited at time zero, and the ground begins receiving the signal from time zero. The excitation and reception times of the source are fixed; therefore, the migration process simply involves extending the wavefield direction to time zero to obtain the migration result. However, in passive imaging, the recorded wavefield's excitation time cannot be determined. Therefore, when the detector begins recording the wavefield, the source may have already been excited for some time or may have only excited after a period of recording. For example... Figure 2 As shown, the initial seismic data from the passive source was detected between 50ms and 100ms, not from the moment of zero. In this case, the timing of the offset imaging cannot be determined during seismic imaging.

[0117] Step S103 uses the time-scan migration method to migrate the recorded wavefield, i.e., the post-stack seismic data, according to different imaging times. The converged migration profile is determined from the migration results, and the final imaging profile of the passive source is determined according to step S104.

[0118] Step S104: The multiple offset profiles are superimposed to obtain the imaging profile of the passive seismic source.

[0119] It should be noted that the migration profiles obtained based on multiple imaging time migrations contain imaging results of passive source relocation. However, since the energy of passive sources is generally weak, it is difficult to manually select the imaging result profile from multiple migration profiles. Therefore, this invention superimposes multiple migration profiles obtained by time scanning migration. Imaging profiles with inaccurate imaging time cancel each other out after superposition, while imaging profiles with accurate imaging time have enhanced energy after superposition because the seismic waves converge at the imaging position, thus obtaining the final passive source imaging result profile.

[0120] See Figure 3 and Figure 4 , Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the location of a passive seismic source provided in an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 4 To Figure 3 Multiple imaging profiles were obtained by time-scanning migration of the initial seismic data from the passive source shown. Figure 4 As can be seen, the imaging profile at seismic trace number 100 and detection recording time of 50ms has the best convergence. Therefore, this imaging profile can be manually selected as the imaging profile of the passive source. In practical applications, in order to better avoid the difficulty of manual selection, the final imaging profile can also be obtained by superimposing the various imaging profiles.

[0121] As described above, the seismic imaging scheme for passive sources provided by this invention involves scanning and migrating the stacked seismic data at multiple excitation times, and then superimposing the migration results from different excitation times, i.e., multiple migration profiles. It should be noted that for migration profiles with inaccurate excitation times, the corresponding seismic record data can cancel each other out. Therefore, by superimposing multiple migration profiles, accurate seismic imaging of passive sources can be obtained, thus solving the problem of uncertain excitation times of passive sources and achieving precise location and imaging processing of passive sources. This provides an efficient and accurate processing scheme for microseismic monitoring and passive source location. Moreover, this method is simple to implement, provides accurate location, and offers an effective processing technology for passive source imaging.

[0122] In other cases, the method implemented by the processor when executing the computer program may include steps S201 to S205:

[0123] like Figure 5 The diagram shown is another flowchart of a seismic imaging method provided in an embodiment of the present invention. The method may include the following steps:

[0124] Step S201: Calculate the maximum propagation time of the vibration at the maximum target depth of the passive seismic source to the ground.

[0125] Step S202: The initial seismic data is cropped according to the maximum propagation time to obtain multiple seismic record data with the same sampling length.

[0126] Step S203: Overlay the multiple seismic record data to obtain overlaid seismic data.

[0127] Step S204: Perform migration processing on the superimposed seismic data according to the set source excitation time to obtain multiple migration profiles.

[0128] Step S205: The multiple offset profiles are superimposed to obtain the imaging profile of the passive seismic source.

[0129] It should be noted that, Figure 5 The method embodiments shown have Figure 1 In addition to all the intended effects of the method embodiments shown, Figure 5 The illustrated method embodiment provides a way to set the source excitation time when cropping initial seismic data. Additionally, Figure 5 The method embodiment shown is only one specific way to determine the excitation time of the seismic source. Of course, there are other ways to set it, such as setting it based on empirical values. Figure 5 The specific method of source excitation time in the illustrated embodiment should not be construed as a limitation of the present invention.

[0130] In other cases, the method implemented by the processor when executing the computer program may include steps S301 to S305:

[0141] Example 6

[0142] This application also provides a computer-readable storage medium, which may be a computer-readable storage medium included in the memory described in the above embodiments; or it may be a standalone computer-readable storage medium not assembled into a computer device. The computer-readable storage medium stores one or more computer programs, which, when executed by a processor, implement the methods described above.

[0143] In some cases, the method implemented by the processor when executing the computer program may include steps S101 to S104:

[0144] like Figure 1 The diagram shown is a flowchart of a seismic imaging method provided in an embodiment of the present invention. The seismic imaging method may include the following steps:

[0145] Step S101: The initial seismic data of the passive source is cropped into multiple seismic record data.

[0146] The initial seismic data mentioned above are the results of continuous detection over a long period. To facilitate subsequent time-scan migration and overlay processing, the initial seismic data needs to be regularized. For example, it can be cropped according to a set duration to obtain multiple seismic records with the same sampling length. It should be noted that the sampling length of the cropped seismic records can be determined based on the approximate depth of the detection target, i.e., an empirical value. Furthermore, the deeper the epicenter, the longer the time it takes for the seismic source to propagate from underground to the surface, and the longer the corresponding sampling duration for cropping the initial seismic data; conversely, the shallower the epicenter, the shorter the sampling duration.

[0147] In one scenario, before cropping the initial seismic data of the passive source into multiple seismic record data, the method further includes: acquiring the initial seismic data of the passive source based on detector detection.

[0148] In one scenario, to improve the signal-to-noise ratio of seismic record data, after cropping the initial seismic data from the passive source into multiple seismic record data, the method further includes: preprocessing the multiple seismic record data, wherein the preprocessing includes filtering and / or denoising.

[0149] Step S102: Overlay the multiple seismic record data to obtain overlaid seismic data.

[0150] By cropping the initial seismic data from passive source detection to the same length, multiple seismic records of the same sampling length can be obtained. These multiple seismic records are then superimposed to obtain a single, stacked seismic record, i.e., the superimposed seismic data. Furthermore, this superposition process suppresses background noise, enhances the effective signal from the passive source, and further improves the signal-to-noise ratio.

[0151] Step S103: Perform migration processing on the superimposed seismic data according to the set source excitation time to obtain multiple migration profiles.

[0152] In conventional post-stack migration processing, the stacked recorded data conforms to the principle of an explosive reflector, meaning the seismic source is excited at time zero, and the ground begins receiving the signal from time zero. The excitation and reception times of the source are fixed; therefore, the migration process simply involves extending the wavefield direction to time zero to obtain the migration result. However, in passive imaging, the recorded wavefield's excitation time cannot be determined. Therefore, when the detector begins recording the wavefield, the source may have already been excited for some time or may have only excited after a period of recording. For example... Figure 2 As shown, the initial seismic data from the passive source was detected between 50ms and 100ms, not from the moment of zero. In this case, the timing of the offset imaging cannot be determined during seismic imaging.

[0153] Step S103 uses the time-scan migration method to migrate the recorded wavefield, i.e., the post-stack seismic data, according to different imaging times. The converged migration profile is determined from the migration results, and the final imaging profile of the passive source is determined according to step S104.

[0154] Step S104: The multiple offset profiles are superimposed to obtain the imaging profile of the passive seismic source.

[0155] It should be noted that the migration profiles obtained based on multiple imaging time migrations contain imaging results of passive source relocation. However, since the energy of passive sources is generally weak, it is difficult to manually select the imaging result profile from multiple migration profiles. Therefore, this invention superimposes multiple migration profiles obtained by time scanning migration. Imaging profiles with inaccurate imaging time cancel each other out after superposition, while imaging profiles with accurate imaging time have enhanced energy after superposition because the seismic waves converge at the imaging position, thus obtaining the final passive source imaging result profile.

[0156] See Figure 3 and Figure 4 , Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the location of a passive seismic source provided in an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 4 To Figure 3 Multiple imaging profiles were obtained by time-scanning migration of the initial seismic data from the passive source shown. Figure 4 As can be seen, the imaging profile at seismic trace number 100 and detection recording time of 50ms has the best convergence. Therefore, this imaging profile can be manually selected as the imaging profile of the passive source. In practical applications, in order to better avoid the difficulty of manual selection, the final imaging profile can also be obtained by superimposing the various imaging profiles.

[0157] As described above, the seismic imaging scheme for passive sources provided by this invention involves scanning and migrating the stacked seismic data at multiple excitation times, and then superimposing the migration results from different excitation times, i.e., multiple migration profiles. It should be noted that for migration profiles with inaccurate excitation times, the corresponding seismic record data can cancel each other out. Therefore, by superimposing multiple migration profiles, accurate seismic imaging of passive sources can be obtained, thus solving the problem of uncertain excitation times of passive sources and achieving precise location and imaging processing of passive sources. This provides an efficient and accurate processing scheme for microseismic monitoring and passive source location. Moreover, this method is simple to implement, provides accurate location, and offers an effective processing technology for passive source imaging.

[0158] In other cases, the method implemented by the processor when executing the computer program may include steps S201 to S205:

[0159] like Figure 5 The diagram shown is another flowchart of a seismic imaging method provided in an embodiment of the present invention. The method may include the following steps:

[0160] Step S201: Calculate the maximum propagation time of the vibration at the maximum target depth of the passive seismic source to the ground.

[0161] Step S202: The initial seismic data is cropped according to the maximum propagation time to obtain multiple seismic record data with the same sampling length.

[0162] Step S203: Overlay the multiple seismic record data to obtain overlaid seismic data.

[0163] Step S204: Perform migration processing on the superimposed seismic data according to the set source excitation time to obtain multiple migration profiles.

[0164] Step S205: The multiple offset profiles are superimposed to obtain the imaging profile of the passive seismic source.

[0165] It should be noted that, Figure 5 The method embodiments shown have Figure 1 In addition to all the intended effects of the method embodiments shown, Figure 5 The illustrated method embodiment provides a way to set the source excitation time when cropping initial seismic data. Additionally, Figure 5 The method embodiment shown is only one specific way to determine the excitation time of the seismic source. Of course, there are other ways to set it, such as setting it based on empirical values. Figure 5 The specific method of source excitation time in the illustrated embodiment should not be construed as a limitation of the present invention.

[0166] In other cases, the method implemented by the processor when executing the computer program may include steps S301 to S305:

[0167] like Figure 6 The diagram shown is another flowchart of a seismic imaging method provided in an embodiment of the present invention. The method may include the following steps:

[0168] Step S301: The initial seismic data of the passive source is cropped into multiple seismic record data.

[0169] Step S302: Overlay the multiple seismic record data to obtain overlaid seismic data.

[0170] Step S303: Perform migration processing on the superimposed seismic data according to the set source excitation time to obtain multiple migration profiles.

[0171] Step S304: The multiple offset profiles are superimposed to obtain the imaging profile of the passive seismic source.

[0172] Step S305: Locate the passive seismic source based on the multiple offset profiles.

[0173] In one scenario, the step of locating the passive seismic source based on the plurality of offset profiles includes: selecting a target imaging profile from the plurality of offset profiles where seismic record data converges; obtaining the target excitation time corresponding to the target imaging profile; and calculating the depth information of the passive seismic source based on the target excitation time.
