Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of marine vibroseis data imaging, and in particular is a full waveform inversion method for marine vibroseis data with Doppler distortion. Background Art

[0002] Non-impulse marine sources (NIMS), such as marine controllable vibroseis sources (MVibs), are gaining popularity for seismic acquisition due to their environmental friendliness, abundant low-frequency energy output, good and repeatable waveform control level, and the ability to mix multiple phase-encoded sources. However, during the acquisition process of marine controllable vibroseis sources, since the source (and possibly the detector) are in motion, they will generate processing challenges that airgun sources do not have: Doppler shift and time-dependent source-receiver offsets acquired for the ocean bottom node (OBN). Although industry-standard phase correction methods based on spatiotemporal filtering and frequency-wavenumber (FK) domain can effectively address the interference of Doppler effect on seismic data, for low-frequency dedicated sources with long scanning time, even after phase correction, it may not be accurate to treat the data as a fixed source. Furthermore, such correction operations rely on sufficient spatial sampling to obtain ideal Doppler shift correction results without spatial aliasing. Standard seismic data processing and imaging techniques assume that the source is stationary. Failure to account for source motion in seismic imaging can result not only in phase shifts and positioning errors in imaged structures, but can also mean significant under-illumination, velocity errors, or both. Summary of the invention

In view of the current situation that the Doppler effect exists in the data during the acquisition process of marine vibroseis, the method of the present invention makes full use of the ability of the sweep-segmentation method and the convolution expansion model to accurately simulate the movement of the source and the detector, and effectively removes the Doppler frequency shift from the full waveform inversion imaging process while ensuring the applicability and accuracy of the method. The present invention specifically includes the following steps:

[0041] S1 constructs a time-varying spatial offset operator to describe the detector motion and nonlinear modeling operators based on the frequency sweep-segmentation method to describe the source motion , where the acquisition parameters need to be set, including the acquisition speed, the type of sweep signal and the spatial sampling rate of the observation record during the acquisition process;

[0044] Among them, in this embodiment, Figure 2The method of the invention is illustrated on a partially scaled version of the SEAM phase 1 model shown. In this example, a collection of 112 shots with a 15 m shot spacing is located at a depth of 0 m (sea level) from 30 to 696 m, each shot containing 48 receivers. The receiver spacing is 6 m, and the maximum and minimum shot-to-receiver offsets are 0 and 282 m, respectively. The source wavelet modeled is a 4 s linear sweep from 5 to 80 Hz, with a 1 s listening time added to the end of the signal. Two data sets are calculated for a stationary source and a source moving to the left at 6 m / s (direct waves removed), without considering interference from factors such as variable sea conditions, ghosting and multiples. Figure 3 (a) and Figure 3 (b) shows the total shot gathering of the stationary source and the moving source and streamer at a source distance of 90 m. The difference between them is shown in Figure 3 (c) in the figure shows the phase and amplitude distortion caused by the Doppler effect.
