Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of seismic data processing technology for petroleum exploration, specifically to a method and system for calculating Q-values based on VSP and micrologging seismic data. Background Technology
[0002] Due to the non-perfectly elastic characteristics of the geological formation, seismic waves undergo severe attenuation during propagation, especially with a significant loss of high-frequency energy, greatly reducing the imaging resolution and accuracy of seismic data. Furthermore, with the continuous advancement of oil and gas exploration, the complex near-surface conditions and severe weathering and erosion in these areas exacerbate the energy attenuation of seismic waves during propagation, making it one of the main reasons affecting the resolution of seismic data.
[0003] To quantitatively reflect the attenuation of seismic waves during propagation through strata, the quality factor Q-value is typically used as a quantitative evaluation parameter. By extracting the Q-value and using it for energy compensation, the effects of near-surface and stratum attenuation can be eliminated, improving the imaging resolution and accuracy of seismic data. There are many algorithms for extracting the Q-value, such as time-domain methods based on amplitude attenuation and rise time, frequency-domain methods based on spectral ratio and spectral simulation, and time-frequency domain methods based on Hilbert transform and S-transform.
