AI Technical Summary
In existing technologies, the calculation methods for near-surface anisotropy parameters fail to effectively consider the complex structure and thickness variations of the near-surface layer, resulting in large errors in pre-stack depth migration results. In particular, in the Loess Plateau region of southern Ordos Basin, the error can reach 5-30m, affecting the accuracy of drilling depth prediction.
By establishing a near-surface velocity model, using micrologging data for grid tomography inversion and stratigraphic division, the near-surface anisotropy parameter δ is calculated, and anisotropic parameter field is generated using a stratigraphic interpolation method to eliminate the influence of near-surface anisotropy.
It effectively reduces the error of pre-stack depth migration results caused by near-surface anisotropy and improves the accuracy of pre-stack depth migration imaging. Especially in complex near-surface structure areas such as the Ordos Basin, the error is reduced from 10-15m to 1-3m.

Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of seismic exploration data processing of oil, and relates to the calculation of anisotropy parameters, in particular to a calculation method of near-surface anisotropy parameters. BACKGROUND
[0002] Transversely isotropic medium belongs to the highest symmetry hexagonal system in anisotropic medium, which uses Thomsen parameters such as ε, δ and γ to represent elastic parameters. In actual geoscience problems, many rocks and minerals have anisotropy characteristics similar to transversely isotropic medium, so it is of great value to improve imaging quality, identify lithology, infer the dominant direction of fracture or porosity and porosity by calculating Thomsen parameters to analyze the anisotropy characteristics of transversely isotropic medium.
[0003] Although there are many methods for calculating anisotropy parameters, in actual production application, the mainstream method for calculating anisotropy parameters, especially the calculation of δ, often uses VSP or logging data. However, both VSP and logging data only contain less shallow information, and most logging data only contain data of the target formation, so the calculation of anisotropy parameters and velocity updating often only consider the middle-deep layer, and ignore the near-surface. In addition, the thickness of the near-surface layer is thin, generally between 10-300m, which also leads to the fact that the influence of near-surface anisotropy is often ignored. Although Luo Yong et al. mentioned the problem of near-surface azimuthal anisotropy in 2021, and used methods such as azimuthal dynamic and static correction and azimuthal weighted prestack time migration imaging processing, the main purpose was to improve migration imaging, and the azimuthal anisotropy parameters were not really calculated.
[0004] In fact, due to the complexity of the near-surface structure, especially in the loess tableland area in the southern Ordos Basin, the thickness of the thick area reaches more than 300m, and the velocity changes rapidly laterally, so the problem of near-surface anisotropy has a substantial impact on the prediction of drilling depth, and can cause errors in the depth of prestack depth migration results, and the well-seismic error generally reaches 5-30m. In the process of anisotropy processing, since logging interpretation often focuses on the target formation, it is often difficult to obtain related parameters of the shallow layer, and the calculation of near-surface anisotropy parameters also faces practical difficulties. SUMMARY
[0005] The purpose of the present application is to provide a calculation method of near-surface anisotropy parameters, which uses near-surface velocity model and micro-logging data to calculate near-surface anisotropy parameters, so as to reduce the error in the depth of prestack depth migration results caused by near-surface anisotropy, and improve the imaging accuracy of prestack depth migration.
