Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of seismic signal processing, and in particular relates to a method for characterizing complex superimposed tight sandstone reservoirs in a statistical synchronous compression transform domain. Background Art

[0002] Time-frequency analysis, a powerful tool for processing nonstationary signals, maps one-dimensional time series into two-dimensional distribution functions related to time and frequency, thereby providing information about the signal's time-varying spectrum. Common time-frequency analysis methods include the short-time Fourier transform (STFT), wavelet transform (WT), S transform (ST), and generalized S transform (GST). These methods all estimate the signal's frequency components within a window function (a continuously refined window function) so that its time-frequency energy is always distributed within a range centered on the signal's true instantaneous frequency. Therefore, limited by the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, the energy of the time-frequency distribution they represent is not sufficiently focused, and their time and frequency resolution cannot be optimized simultaneously. In seismic signal analysis, high-precision time-frequency analysis methods will help better detect the frequency variation characteristics caused by thickness variations in complex, stacked tight sandstone reservoirs, thereby facilitating the characterization of these reservoirs.

[0003] The synchronized squeezed wavelet transform (SSWT) is a new time-frequency post-processing method proposed by Daubechies et al. based on the WT. It effectively improves the time-frequency resolution of the WT by focusing the spectral energy onto the estimated instantaneous frequency curve. It was subsequently extended to the framework of the STFT. However, they require the signal to have weak amplitude and frequency modulation characteristics. Therefore, many studies have approximated the signal amplitude and phase to high-order Taylor expansions and derived various high-order instantaneous frequency estimation operators for use in the squeezing process to achieve a more focused time-frequency representation. These high-order methods have similar instantaneous frequency estimation processes: based on the original instantaneous frequency estimation results, they first discuss the error terms caused by high-order amplitude and phase characteristics. Then, they capture these error terms through the high-order partial derivative characteristics of the original time-frequency representation results to correct their instantaneous frequency estimates.

[0004] Although these high-order methods effectively improve the energy focusing of time-frequency representation and provide a clearer time-frequency description result, they rely on the high-order partial derivative characteristics of the original time-frequency representation results, which will cause large deviations in instantaneous frequency estimation under the influence of noise. Their time-frequency distribution focusing performance is not very robust. In addition, the seismic signals of complex superimposed tight sandstone reservoirs themselves have strong nonlinear time-frequency characteristics. Therefore, there is an urgent need to study a time-frequency representation method with strong robustness and high energy focusing. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the above-mentioned deficiencies in the prior art, the present invention provides a method for characterizing complex stacked tight sandstone reservoirs in the statistical synchronous squeezing transform domain. Within the STFT framework, the present invention derives a new instantaneous frequency estimator that can capture the high-order characteristics of frequency-amplitude-modulated signals, similar to high-order methods. A sliding frequency filter is constructed, which is convolved with the time-frequency coefficients to separate multi-component signals. This convolution relationship is then used to construct the inner product between a series of short-time Fourier transforms to derive a new instantaneous frequency estimator with local statistical properties. This estimator, when used in the synchronous squeezing process, can provide a robust, highly energy-focused time-frequency distribution for multi-component frequency-amplitude-modulated signals, thereby improving the accuracy of seismic signal processing for complex stacked tight sandstone reservoirs.

First, the seismic signal to be analyzed is input and its short-time Fourier transform (STFT) result is calculated. An appropriate frequency filter is then selected and an instantaneous frequency estimator with statistical effectiveness is constructed through inner product. Finally, based on the SST principle, a fixed-point iteration algorithm is used to squeeze the STFT result onto the estimated instantaneous frequency curve to obtain the SST. The thickness variation characteristics of complex stacked tight sandstone reservoirs are analyzed by observing frequency variations in the SST domain. Furthermore, the original signal can be reconstructed through inverse transformation.
