Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of seismic signal processing, specifically relating to a method for automatically redistributing the thickness of thin interlayers in seismic regions. Background Technology
[0002] Thin interbedded layer analysis is a crucial aspect of oil and gas exploration, playing a vital guiding role in reservoir prediction. However, due to the low resolution of seismic wavelet, directly predicting the thickness of thin interbedded layers is challenging. As a signal processing tool, time-frequency analysis provides joint time-frequency distributions and is widely used in geophysics. Practice has shown that variations in the thickness of thin interbedded layers can be characterized by the time-frequency features of seismic signals. However, limited by Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, traditional time-frequency analysis methods such as Short-Time Fourier Transform (STFT), wavelet transform, S-transform, generalized S-transform, and W-transform cannot simultaneously achieve optimal time and frequency resolution, resulting in unclear descriptions of the thickness variation trends of thin interbedded layers.
[0003] In recent years, many post-processing methods have been proposed to improve the energy concentration of original time-frequency analysis methods. Among them, the redistribution method (RM) redistributes time-frequency energy simultaneously along the time and frequency directions. However, RM cannot reconstruct the original signal. Based on the "redistribution" technique, Synchronous Compression Transform (SST) was developed. Unlike RM, SST simply compresses the time-frequency coefficients from the frequency direction into the instantaneous frequency trajectory. It not only greatly improves the time-frequency resolution of classical time-frequency analysis methods but also allows for signal reconstruction. Due to the limitation of instantaneous frequency estimation accuracy, SST exhibits energy ambiguity when processing high-frequency signals. Therefore, second-order and higher-order SSTs have been proposed to sharpen time-frequency characterization, successfully highlighting detailed geological structures. In addition, Synchronous Extraction Transform (SET) has also been used to improve time-frequency focusing. Unlike the SST algorithm, SET only extracts the time-frequency coefficients most relevant to the instantaneous frequency. Due to the good focusing ability of SET, its extended methods, such as higher-order SET, SEWT, and TEGCT, are widely used in channel characterization and reservoir identification. The above methods differ in their processing of time-frequency energy but are essentially the same. Their core idea is to calculate the instantaneous frequency and then process the time-frequency coefficients based on the instantaneous frequency. However, this approach always suffers from drawbacks such as weak time-frequency energy focusing and unclear characterization of thin interlayer thickness. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To overcome the aforementioned shortcomings, this invention provides an Automatic Redistribution Domain (ART) method for seismic thin interbedded layer thickness analysis. Unlike other methods that redistribute time-frequency coefficients by calculating instantaneous frequencies, ART automatically redistributes energy to the instantaneous frequency trajectory by exploring the energy distribution of the STFT time spectrum. The proposed ART provides satisfactory time-frequency characterization results, enabling better analysis of the variation trend of seismic thin interbedded layer thickness.
[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the technical solution adopted by this invention is: a method for analyzing the thickness of thin interlayers in seismic formations with automatic redistribution of domains, comprising the following steps:

[0029] This invention proposes an automatic redistribution domain method for analyzing the thickness of thin interbedded layers in seismic earthquakes. First, the seismic signal to be analyzed is input and its short-time Fourier transform result is calculated.

[0051] See Figures 1 to 3 We will take a seismic signal from a complex superimposed tight sandstone reservoir as an example. Figure 2 The seismic profile is displayed. The input seismic signal is the well-passing seismic trace signal in the figure. The vertical axis represents time in milliseconds, and the horizontal axis represents the number of traces. Figure 3 The images show the time-frequency spectra processed by (a) Short-Time Fourier Transform, (b) Synchronous Squeeze Transform, (c) Redistribution Method, and (d) the method of this invention. The horizontal axis represents time in milliseconds, and the vertical axis represents frequency in Hertz.

Compared to the other three methods, the described time-frequency ridges are also clearer. Increased frequency indicates a thinner interlayer thickness, while decreased frequency indicates a thicker interlayer thickness, allowing for better analysis of changes in interlayer thickness.
