Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of geophysical exploration technologies, and particularly relates to a gradient regularization method and system based on geological structure constraints. Background Art

[0002] In exploration seismology, the imposition of model regularization is of great significance for seismic wave velocity inversion. By introducing prior information about the solution, regularization can significantly reduce the non-uniqueness of the tomographic inversion solution, improve the stability of the inverse problem, and make the inversion result more geologically meaningful. For different inversion targets, the imposition and utilization of prior information are also different. During the velocity inversion process, it is first necessary to impose the constraint of reflection horizon information. By constraining the velocity change with the reflection horizon, the medium and high wavenumber components of the background velocity can be effectively improved. Therefore, during the velocity inversion process, how to introduce reasonable structural / structural information is the most critical part. Currently, the methods for imposing velocity model regularization mainly include the following:

[0003] Mathematically, different forms of norm constraints are mainly imposed on model parameters to penalize a certain component in the model. Hu et al. (2009) used Tikhonov regularization to obtain the smooth component of the model; Loris et al. (2007) used the L1 norm to obtain a sparse solution; Qiu et al. (2016) used edge-guided TV regularization to impose geological structure feature constraints.

[0004] In the transform domain, relevant sparse constraints are imposed in a preconditioned manner to constrain the inversion solution. Li et al. (2012) updated the model in the Curvelet domain using a random data subset. Xue et al. (2017) imposed sparse constraints in the Seislet domain to improve the stability of the inversion. Li and Harris (2018) used dictionary learning to construct sparse basis functions to achieve adaptive sparse constraint regularization.

[0005] However, the above regularization methods only impose sparse constraints mathematically or impose sparse constraints along the structure, but the overall sparse constraints will harm weak signals and cannot constrain only the effective reflection signals.

[0006] From a geophysical perspective, regularization constraints are mainly achieved by applying prior information related to geology or geophysics. Clapp et al. (2004) utilized a spatially variable dip penalty filter as a model coarsening operator to construct an unsteady-phase steering filter that smooths along the structural dip. Zhou et al. (2009) adopted a three-dimensional anisotropic Gaussian smoothing filter as a smoothing operator. Guitton et al. (2012) constructed a directional Laplace operator along the dip direction of the subsurface structure and used an unsteady-phase spatial convolution operator to construct a smoothing operator, realizing full waveform inversion based on geological structure direction constraints. Zhou (2013) proposed constructing an anisotropic Gaussian function along the dip of the structure. Lewis et al. (2014) applied anisotropic diffusion equations to smooth the full waveform inversion gradient and constrain the inversion results. Wellington et al. (2015) achieved anisotropic unsteady-phase wavenumber filtering by controlling the lengths of operators in different directions of the Laplace operator.

[0007] The above methods construct anisotropic smoothing functions or anisotropic diffusion functions from a geophysical perspective to process the gradient. However, such methods can only maintain the structural direction at horizons, and are often isotropic or simply anisotropic processed at non-horizon locations, and their results depend on the accuracy of geological structure extraction.

[0008] The present invention introduces geological structure guidance and develops a gradient regularization method that integrates reflection horizon constraints. Different from conventional methods, the present invention not only requires smoothing along the structural direction at positions containing structures, but also requires smoothing along the structural direction between horizons, so that the entire gradient result can be constrained by the geological structure direction, obtaining a velocity model with more geological significance.

[0148]

[0149]

[0150] It should be noted that in exploration seismology, velocity inversion is a strongly non-linear inverse problem, and the inversion solution has multi-solution and instability. By applying regularization, the non-uniqueness of the solution can be effectively reduced, and a stable inversion solution can be obtained. However, conventional regularization methods only impose sparse constraints mathematically or impose sparse constraints along the structure, but the overall sparse constraints will damage weak signals and cannot be constrained only for effective reflection signals. Or by constructing anisotropic smoothing functions or anisotropic diffusion functions to process the gradient. However, such methods can only maintain the structural direction at horizons, and non-horizon areas are often isotropic processing or simple anisotropic processing. In order to constrain the inversion solution during the velocity inversion process and obtain a velocity model with geological significance, the present invention uses the reflection horizon information in the migration imaging during the inversion process as a constraint, extracts the reflection structure, calculates the structural dip angle, obtains the horizon information of the entire profile by using the scattered data interpolation method, designs an anisotropic smoothing function along the horizon, constrains the change of velocity, and effectively improves the medium and high wavenumber components in velocity modeling.
