Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of data supervision, and in particular to a radial domain Fourier transform interpolation method for weak reflection information. Background Technology
[0002] With the deepening of oil and gas exploration and development and the continuous improvement of geological requirements, acquisition methods are constantly developing towards richer information, such as high density, high precision, ultra-long offset, and wide azimuth. Due to the differences in excitation and reception methods and acquisition and observation systems at different acquisition stages, as well as factors such as the complexity of the surface, irregularities in local observation systems and data elements have also been caused, posing a great challenge to seismic data fusion processing and migration imaging.
[0003] Specifically, this manifests in significant differences in trace spacing, shot spacing, area, offset, and azimuth between different data blocks. These differences directly lead to substantial variations in coverage frequency, energy, signal-to-noise ratio, frequency, phase, and azimuth between different blocks, resulting in inconsistent illumination of subsurface imaging points, uneven distribution of effective information, and large discrepancies in energy consistency, directly impacting imaging quality. However, migration imaging also demands a high degree of regularity and integrity in seismic data.
[0004] Therefore, in order to obtain better and more accurate imaging results, it is necessary to perform regularization processing on the actual data to obtain relatively regular and complete seismic data from the irregular data. This will improve the quality of the data, reduce the impact of acquisition footprints, spatial frequency distortion, and offset arcs caused by data irregularity, and at the same time, improve the overall signal-to-noise ratio of the data as much as possible while maintaining the amplitude, thus ensuring imaging quality.
[0005] To address the impact of irregular data on migration imaging, scholars both domestically and internationally have proposed numerous regularization interpolation methods. Currently, the main regularization interpolation methods include:
[0006] Five-dimensional interpolation regularization primarily utilizes four spatial dimensions—the x and y coordinates of the shot point and receiver point—plus a time dimension to describe the data, allowing the seismic data to be viewed as a five-dimensional data volume. The first four spatial dimensions can be the x and y coordinates of the CMP point plus the projection of the shot-receiver distance in the x and y directions; or the x and y coordinates of the CMP point plus the absolute shot-receiver distance and shot-receiver azimuth. Five-dimensional interpolation regularization involves all five dimensions in the calculation simultaneously. Depending on the actual seismic data, for data with insufficient sampling density, interpolation is generally performed in the shot-receiver domain. Through interpolation, shot lines and receiver lines can be densified, or the area of the data can be reduced. For wide-azimuth, high-density acquired data, regularization can be performed in the OVT domain, regularizing the shot-receiver midpoint to the center of the CMP area grid. This achieves densification of shot lines and shot points in the shot-receiver domain, increasing spatial sampling density, reconstructing shallow missing data, and increasing the shallow coverage frequency, thereby improving the image quality of the data.
[0007] OVT domain regularized interpolation technology involves sorting data into regularized OVT domain gathers based on azimuth and offset in the gather head, transforming the data to the frequency-wavenumber domain using Fourier transform to obtain the Fourier transform of the original data, and then searching for the maximum energy in the frequency-wavenumber domain by setting a threshold operator through a defined number of iterations. After energy optimization using the threshold operator, the data is transformed to the time-space domain, and regularized interpolation is completed through multiple iterations.
[0008] Existing interpolation methods have two main shortcomings. Firstly, conventional interpolation primarily involves sorting existing data at equal intervals and regularizing the offsets. For missing information, weighting factors are calculated based on the horizontal and vertical distances of the interpolated trace. The amplitude value of the interpolated trace is then calculated as the average amplitude of surrounding reference seismic traces. The drawback is that it doesn't consider the true azimuth and offset information during interpolation; it only assigns values to parameters such as amplitude, frequency, and offset, failing to obtain the true information of the interpolated trace. Secondly, Fourier interpolation mainly involves performing a Fourier transform in three-dimensional spacetime to form unique frequency-wavenumber spectral information in the FK domain. The maximum spectral component is generated through a discrete Fourier transform using spectral estimation, extracted, and added to the estimated spectrum. After weighting the data, an inverse discrete Fourier transform is performed. Finally, the original data is subtracted from the weighted data to complete the interpolation. The disadvantage is that irregularly sampled data is prone to spectral leakage during Fourier transform, resulting in severe spurious frequency information in the interpolated data, failing to obtain high-quality data.

[0050] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0051] This invention proposes a radial domain Fourier transform interpolation method for weakly reflected signals. First, dynamic correction data is sorted into a 0-360 degree regularized data volume along the azimuth and offset. Simultaneously, the regularized offset and azimuth gathers are transformed radially to a 0-180 degree regularized data volume, completing the radial domain regularized offset and azimuth equally spaced data volume. Regular sampling of the radial domain regularized azimuth and offset ensures sufficient filling of small-angle gathers, thus defining the target data. Second, after frequency sorting of the radial domain data volume, a Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) is performed on each frequency to the FK domain. The DFT spectral components of each frequency are calculated, and the component with the highest spectral energy is added to the estimated spectrum. This spectrum is then applied to the original data, weighted, and finally subjected to an Inverse DFT to the TX domain to output the predicted data. Finally, the predicted data after the inverse discrete Fourier transform is subtracted from the original data, and the next iteration is performed simultaneously. After multiple iterations, the effective signal is enhanced, random noise is attenuated, and the signal-to-noise ratio of the interpolated data is significantly improved, while the offset, azimuth, and other attributes are more uniform, and the data band-limiting and sampling properties are excellent. Through radial domain five-dimensional spatial interpolation technology, a complete radial domain Fourier transform interpolation method for weak signals is finally formed.
[0052] This invention is a radial domain Fourier transform interpolation method for weak signals. For example... Figure 1 As shown, the processing flow includes the following steps:
[0053] Step 1: Import the preprocessed gather data. First, divide the data into 0-360 degree regularized data volumes at equal intervals along the azimuth and offset. Simultaneously, transform the regularized offset and azimuth gathers into 0-180 degree regularized data volumes along a straight line of diameter or radius, completing the radial domain regularized offset and azimuth equal-interval data volumes. Figure 2 As shown.
[0054] Step 2: Based on the radial domain regularized data volume, select five dimensions for the data, including: main survey line, connecting survey line, offset, azimuth, and time, to define the desired grid volume. Perform Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) on the input data according to its frequency characteristics, transforming the data from the time-space domain to the frequency-wavenumber domain. Perform DFT on each frequency information, such as... Figure 3 As shown.
[0055] Step 3: In the frequency space domain, select a lower frequency that does not contain spurious frequencies to calculate the prior value. Then, weight the higher frequency data using the prior value and select the corresponding maximum spectral energy component, such as... Figure 4 As shown.
[0056] Step 4: Add the maximum spectral energy component in the higher frequency data range to the corresponding estimated spectrum. After cutting and extrapolating the estimated spectrum for each frequency data, complete the estimated spectrum correction. Finally, convolve the corrected estimated spectrum with the original data to complete the frequency spatial domain prediction data.
[0057] Step 5: Perform an inverse discrete Fourier transform on the frequency spatial domain prediction data to the specified location in the time spatial domain. In the time spatial domain, subtract the predicted data from the original data to complete one round of iterative processing. After multiple rounds of iteration, the maximum spectral energy gradually recovers to the average spectral energy value, completing the data reconstruction interpolation process. Figure 5 As shown.
[0058] Step 6: After adding the reconstructed data volume to the 3D mesh, reassign values to the main survey line, connecting survey line, offset, azimuth, and time of the interpolated data to obtain the complete interpolated data volume. Interpolation using radial domain Fourier transform improves the uniformity of offset and azimuth, significantly enhances the data signal-to-noise ratio, and demonstrates the advantages of migration imaging. This is beneficial for subsequent seismic interpretation, attribute analysis, and azimuth-specific inversion, such as... Figure 6 As shown.
[0059] Beneficial Effects: This invention has three advantages. First, it utilizes dynamic correction data to perform equal-interval sorting and regularization of the data volume along azimuth and offset. Simultaneously, it transforms the regularized offset and azimuth gathers along the radial direction to a regularized data volume within 0-180 degrees, completing the radial domain regularized data volume and ensuring regular sampling of small-angle and near-offset information. Second, it performs frequency sorting on the radial domain regularized data volume, performs Discrete Fourier Transform, and adds the maximum spectral energy component to the estimated spectrum. After trimming and extrapolating the estimated spectrum for each frequency, it completes the estimated spectrum correction. Finally, it convolves the corrected estimated spectrum with the original data to complete the frequency spatial domain prediction data. In the temporal spatial domain, the predicted data is subtracted from the original data to complete multiple rounds of iterative processing, ensuring high signal-to-noise ratio data while preventing spurious frequency phenomena. A third party adds a three-dimensional mesh to the reconstructed data volume and reassigns values to the interpolated main survey line, connecting survey line, offset, azimuth, and time, ultimately obtaining a complete interpolated data volume. The radial domain Fourier transform interpolation further improves the data signal-to-noise ratio and ensures the uniformity of offset and azimuth angle, ultimately forming a complete radial domain Fourier transform interpolation method for weak signals.
[0060] The above specific embodiments further illustrate the purpose, technical solution, and beneficial effects of the present invention. It should be understood that the above are merely specific embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.
