[0058] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the technical solutions of this invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this invention without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this invention.

[0059] The following is combined with Figures 1-10 The geological structure imaging method of the present invention is described.

[0060] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment proposes a first geological structure imaging method, which may include the following steps:

[0061] S101. Obtain the seismic wave velocity distribution data and quality factor distribution data corresponding to the target area.

[0062] The target area is a specific region where geological structure imaging is required. It is understood that this embodiment can perform geological structure imaging on the target area.

[0063] Optionally, the seismic wave velocity distribution data may include the propagation velocity data of seismic waves at different spatial locations during their propagation in the subsurface medium of the target area.

[0064] The quality factor distribution data includes the quality factor data at different spatial locations during the propagation of seismic waves in the underground medium of the target area.

[0065] Specifically, this embodiment can deploy seismic detectors and generate seismic wave sources in the target area to emit seismic waves towards the geological structure of the target area, recording the information of the seismic waves propagating underground, thereby achieving seismic exploration of the target area. Subsequently, this embodiment can use seismic instruments to acquire seismic wave data, including data such as the arrival time and amplitude of the seismic waves. This embodiment can preprocess the acquired seismic wave data, including noise removal, signal correction, and feature extraction, to improve data quality and usability.

[0066] Specifically, this embodiment can utilize the wave propagation time and distance information in the preprocessed seismic wave data to calculate the propagation velocity of seismic waves at various spatial locations in the subsurface medium through velocity analysis. The velocity analysis methods can include ray tracing and wave equations, among others.

[0067] Specifically, this embodiment can process the preprocessed seismic wave data based on amplitude attenuation, frequency change, or seismic wave propagation characteristics to obtain the quality factor of the seismic wave at various spatial locations in the underground medium.

[0068] S102. Determine the vertical wavenumber of viscous acoustic waves based on seismic wave velocity distribution data and quality factor distribution data.

[0069] Optionally, step S102 may include:

[0070] Based on the seismic wave velocity distribution data, the acoustic wave velocity distribution data is determined; the acoustic wave velocity distribution data includes the propagation velocity data of seismic waves at different spatial locations during the propagation of seismic waves in the underground medium of the target area, assuming that the underground medium of the target area is an acoustic medium.

[0071] Determine the viscosity-acoustic parameters based on the quality factor distribution data;

[0072] The vertical wavenumber of the adhesive acoustic wave is determined based on the adhesive acoustic wave velocity distribution data and adhesive acoustic parameters.

[0073] S103. Input the viscoelastic vertical wavenumber into the constructed pressure wave field determination model to determine the pressure wave field distribution data corresponding to the target area; wherein, the pressure wave field determination model is constructed based on the viscoelastic properties of the subsurface medium and the viscoelastic propagation operator of matrix decomposition.

[0074] The inventors of this invention discovered that related technologies neglect the viscoelastic information of the subsurface medium when imaging subsurface structures, treating the subsurface medium as an ideal medium for processing seismic wave data. This results in low resolution of subsurface structure imaging, and in severe cases, can even affect seismic interpretation. This embodiment no longer treats the subsurface medium as an ideal medium, but introduces viscoelastic and acoustic properties to fully grasp the medium information, constructing a wave equation formula for viscoelastic and acoustic media. This improves the resolution of subsurface structure imaging and preserves wavefield information to a greater extent, significantly improving the quality of deep subsurface imaging.

[0075] Specifically, in this embodiment, a pressure wave field determination model can be constructed first. Optionally, the process of constructing the pressure wave field determination model includes:

[0076] Considering that the underground medium in the target area is a viscous acoustic medium, a viscous acoustic wave equation for seismic wave propagation is established.

[0077] By performing a Fourier transform on the viscous acoustic wave equation, the corresponding frequency domain equation is obtained.

[0078] The frequency domain equations are transformed to obtain the viscous acoustic wave equations for two-dimensional viscous acoustic media in the frequency spatial domain.

[0079] Under the premise that the preset assumptions are true, the viscous acoustic wave equation of the two-dimensional viscous acoustic medium is decomposed to obtain the decomposed equation.

[0080] Determine the viscosonic Helmholtz operator based on the decomposed equations;

[0081] Eigenvalue decomposition is performed on the viscous acoustic Helmholtz operator to obtain the eigenvalue decomposition results;

[0082] The pressure wave field values ​​are determined based on the eigenvalue decomposition results, and the equations are used as the model for determining the pressure wave field.

[0083] The inventors of this invention have discovered that subsurface media are not ideally homogeneous, nor do they possess perfectly elastic properties. Therefore, in seismic exploration, seismic waves often experience energy attenuation and dispersion during propagation underground. This manifests in seismic records as decreased amplitude and waveform distortion. If these seismic records are used directly for migration without considering viscoelastic attenuation, the image quality and resolution will be reduced. In severe cases, this can lead to insufficient illumination in and below the attenuated region, resulting in incorrect migration depth. Therefore, attenuation compensation for strongly attenuated media regions is essential during migration imaging.

[0084] Specifically, this embodiment can consider the viscoelastic properties of the subsurface medium and establish a viscoelastic wave equation for seismic wave propagation:

[0085]

[0086]

[0087]

[0088] in, For pressure field waves, For time, For viscosity-sound parameters, This represents the propagation speed of seismic waves in a viscous acoustic medium. is the reference frequency for the adhesive sound medium, and is the set standard frequency value for the adhesive sound medium. For the Laplace operator. This represents the propagation speed of seismic waves in the acoustic medium. This is the quality factor.

[0089] Among them, when As it approaches infinity, The value is 0. At this point, the formula degenerates into the acoustic wave equation in related technologies.

[0090] Specifically, in this embodiment, formula (1) can be Fourier transformed to the frequency domain to obtain the corresponding frequency domain equation:

[0091]

[0092] in, It is the imaginary unit.

[0093] Subsequently, in this embodiment, equation (4) can be transformed to obtain the viscous acoustic wave equation of the two-dimensional viscous acoustic medium in the frequency spatial domain:

[0094]

[0095] in, These are the coordinates along the depth direction in the underground space. Sampling frequency, These are the horizontal coordinates within the underground space.

[0096] It should be noted that the acoustic wave equation in the relevant technology is:

[0097]

[0098] Comparing formula (5) and formula (6), the derived viscous sound wave equation achieves viscous sound compensation by introducing a viscous sound compensation term.

[0099] Taking the derived acoustic wave equation for a two-dimensional viscous medium as an example, it is generally assumed that the depth direction is the main propagation direction of the seismic wave. When the seismic wave extends downward at certain depth intervals, the velocity of the medium only changes laterally within one depth step interval and does not change longitudinally. Based on this assumption, formula (5) can be decomposed as follows:

[0100]

[0101] Taking the following traveling wave propagation equation as an example, it can be written as:

[0102]

[0103] Therefore, the vertical wavenumber of viscous acoustics is defined as:

[0104]

[0105] The vertical wavenumber of sound waves based on the sound wave equation in related technologies is:

[0106]

[0107] By comparing the vertical wavenumber of the acoustic wave with that of the acoustic wave equation in related technologies, the vertical wavenumber of the acoustic wave defined in this embodiment achieves acoustic compensation by introducing an acoustic compensation term.

[0108] This embodiment can define the Helmholtz operator. L Written as:

[0109]

[0110] Combining the vertical wavenumber of sound waves and the Helmholtz operator from the sound wave equation in related technologies, we can obtain:

[0111]

[0112] At this point, the viscous acoustic Helmholtz operator based on viscous acoustic media It can be written as:

[0113]

[0114] in, For the adhesive sound Helmholtz operator.

[0115] Specifically, in this embodiment, parameters can be determined first based on seismic wave velocity distribution data and quality factor distribution data. and Then the parameters and Substituting into the formula, we obtain the viscous Helmholtz operator.

[0116] It should be noted that the adhesive Helmholtz operator is a symmetric matrix, and its eigenvalue decomposition is expressed as:

[0117]

[0118] In order to suppress evanescent waves during the calculation, positive eigenvalues ​​are retained while negative eigenvalues ​​are removed.

[0119] The extrapolation equation for the wave field along the depth can be written as:

[0120]

[0121] in, For depth step size, For wave field propagation operators.

[0122] Specifically, in this embodiment, the eigenvalue decomposition formula of the viscous acoustic Helmholtz operator can be substituted into the extrapolation equation of the wave field along the depth to obtain the pressure wave field at any depth.

[0123] Furthermore, substituting Euler's formula into the equation, the extrapolation equation of the wave field along the depth can be written in another form:

[0124]

[0125] Understandably, the pressure wave field determination model includes:

[0126]

[0127]

[0128] In this embodiment, by inputting the vertical wavenumber of the adhesive acoustic wave into the constructed pressure wave field determination model, the pressure wave field distribution data obtained by the calculation of the pressure wave field determination model can be obtained.

[0129] S104. Use pressure wave field distribution data to perform geological structure imaging of the target area and obtain the geological structure imaging results of the target area.

[0130] Specifically, this embodiment can perform migration imaging based on the pressure wave field distribution data after obtaining the pressure wave field distribution data, thereby obtaining geological structure imaging of the target area, improving the resolution of geological structure imaging, and preserving wave field information to a greater extent, thus significantly improving the quality of deep underground imaging.

[0131] The geological structure imaging method proposed in this embodiment can acquire seismic wave velocity distribution data and quality factor distribution data corresponding to the target area, and determine the viscoelastic vertical wavenumber based on the seismic wave velocity distribution data and quality factor distribution data. The viscoelastic vertical wavenumber is then input into a pre-constructed pressure wavefield determination model to determine the pressure wavefield distribution data corresponding to the target area. The pressure wavefield determination model is constructed based on the viscoelastic properties of the subsurface medium and a matrix decomposition viscoelastic propagation operator. The pressure wavefield distribution data is used to perform geological structure imaging of the target area, obtaining the geological structure imaging results for the target area. This embodiment can preserve wavefield information to a greater extent, improving the resolution of geological structure imaging and the imaging quality of deep subsurface areas.

[0132] To better illustrate the geological structure imaging method proposed in this embodiment, Example 1 is presented below, which applies the geological structure imaging method of this embodiment to a two-dimensional undulation model and explains the application process.

[0133] Example 1, Figure 2 and Figure 3 These are the velocity model and the corresponding quality factor model of the two-dimensional fluctuation model, respectively. Figure 2 and Figure 3 In this context, x represents the horizontal coordinate, and depth represents the depth coordinate. Figure 2 The color in the diagram represents the magnitude of the phase velocity; different colors correspond to different phase velocities. Phase velocity represents the speed at which seismic waves propagate in the acoustic medium. Figure 3 The color used in the model represents the quality factor, with different colors corresponding to different quality factor values. The dimensions of the two-dimensional undulation model are 1250 meters deep and 1000 meters horizontally. The two-dimensional undulation model contains multiple undulation interfaces, each with a uniform velocity. The minimum velocity of the model is 1500 meters per second, and the maximum velocity is 2300 meters per second. A total of 100 shots were recorded, with a shot spacing of 2 channels. Each shot was equipped with 60 geophones, with a channel spacing of 5 meters. The minimum shot-receiver distance was 0 meters, the sampling time interval was 0.0005 seconds, and the sampling length was 2 seconds. The velocity model grid spacing was 5 meters deep and 5 meters horizontally, with an extension depth of 1250 meters. The source used a Ricker wavelet with a dominant frequency of 20 Hz. The imaging results of the underground structure corresponding to the two-dimensional undulation model were determined based on relevant technologies and the geological structure imaging method of this embodiment.

[0134] The final offset result is as follows Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 In this context, 'x' represents the horizontal coordinate, 'depth' represents the depth coordinate, and 'grayscale intensity' represents the amplitude of the imaging result; the closer the color is to black, the larger the amplitude. Figure 4The results of underground structure imaging generated from acoustic data and acoustic propagation operators based on matrix decomposition (i.e., underground structure imaging results generated by related technologies). Figure 5 The image results of the subsurface structure generated based on the viscoelastic acoustic data and the viscoelastic acoustic propagation operator based on matrix decomposition (i.e., the subsurface structure imaging results generated by the geological structure imaging method proposed in this embodiment). Figure 6 The images show the subsurface structure imaging results generated based on viscous acoustic data and a matrix decomposition-based acoustic propagation operator (combining related technologies and the geological structure imaging method proposed in this embodiment). It can be seen that for the two-dimensional undulation model, both the viscous acoustic propagation operator based on matrix decomposition and the offset results based on the acoustic propagation operator based on matrix decomposition accurately reflect the actual situation of the strata.

[0135] However, the results obtained from viscosity data and the acoustic wave propagation operator based on matrix decomposition show that the imaging energy at depth is weak. To visually demonstrate the compensation effect of the viscosity propagation operator based on matrix decomposition on attenuated seismic waveforms, waveforms at horizontal coordinates of 400 and 800 meters can be compared. The waveform comparison at 400 meters can be found in [reference needed]. Figure 7 and Figure 8 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 The vertical axis, amplitude, represents the amplitude. Figure 7 The waveform comparison at x=400m (a) illustrates the effect of acoustic viscosity compensation (the blue line represents the acoustic wave data using the acoustic wave propagation operator based on matrix decomposition, and the red line represents the acoustic viscosity data using the acoustic viscosity propagation operator based on matrix decomposition). Figure 8 The diagram illustrates the results without compensation (the blue line represents acoustic data using a matrix factorization-based acoustic propagation operator, and the red line represents adhesive acoustic data using a matrix factorization-based acoustic propagation operator).

[0136] For a waveform comparison display over 800 meters, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 9 and Figure 10 . Figure 9 The waveform comparison at x=800m (a) illustrates the effect of acoustic viscosity compensation (the blue line represents the acoustic wave data using the acoustic wave propagation operator based on matrix decomposition, and the red line represents the acoustic viscosity data using the acoustic viscosity propagation operator based on matrix decomposition). Figure 10 The diagram illustrates the results without compensation (the blue line represents acoustic data using a matrix factorization-based acoustic propagation operator, and the red line represents adhesive acoustic data using a matrix factorization-based acoustic propagation operator).

[0137] It can be seen that the waveform of the viscoelastic propagation operator based on matrix decomposition is very close to that of the acoustic wave propagation operator based on matrix decomposition, which means that the viscoelastic propagation operator based on matrix decomposition has a good compensation effect on the attenuated seismic waveform. Meanwhile, processing the viscoelastic data using the acoustic wave propagation operator based on matrix decomposition in related technologies results in a significant decrease in the resolution of the migration results. Failure to use the viscoelastic propagation operator based on matrix decomposition for compensation leads to severe distortion of the seismic wave waveform information. Further analysis... Figure 8 and Figure 10 The waveform analysis revealed that the results obtained using the matrix decomposition-based acoustic propagation operator for viscoelastic data exhibited not only amplitude attenuation but also phase dispersion, both caused by the viscoelasticity of the formation. Therefore, the migration results lacked accuracy. This indicates that the matrix decomposition-based viscoelastic propagation operator has a positive effect on compensating for attenuated seismic waveforms. Even when considering the viscosity of the medium, the corresponding matrix decomposition-based viscoelastic propagation operator must be used to obtain accurate migration results.

[0138] This embodiment can be further validated using the Marmousi model. Combining the Marmousi model's velocity model and quality factor, the Marmousi model has dimensions of 1875 meters in depth and 12500 meters in the horizontal direction, encompassing complex structures such as faults and synclines. The model's minimum velocity is 1500 m / s, and its maximum velocity is 5500 m / s. A total of 120 shots were recorded, with 8 channels between shots. Each shot had 240 geophones with an 8-meter channel spacing, a minimum shot-receiver distance of 0 meters, a sampling interval of 0.0005 s, and a sampling length of 3 s. The velocity model grid spacing is 8 meters in depth and 8 meters in the horizontal direction, with an extension depth of 1875 meters. The seismic source uses a Ricker wavelet with a dominant frequency of 20 Hz. The subsurface structure imaging results corresponding to the two-dimensional undulation model are determined based on relevant technologies and the geological structure imaging method of this embodiment.

[0139] The final migration results show that, for the Marmousi model, the migration results of the matrix decomposition-based viscoelastic propagation operator are basically consistent with those of the related technique's matrix decomposition-based acoustic propagation operator. Both accurately reflect the actual situation of the subsurface medium with clear details. Furthermore, the migration results of the matrix decomposition-based viscoelastic propagation operator show significantly better imaging results in complex structures than the related technique's matrix decomposition-based acoustic propagation operator. However, the results obtained using the matrix decomposition-based acoustic propagation operator with viscoelastic data show weaker imaging energy and significantly reduced resolution in deep complex structures. To intuitively reflect the compensation effect of the matrix decomposition-based viscoelastic propagation operator on attenuated seismic waveforms, this embodiment selects waveforms at horizontal coordinates of 4800, 5600, and 6400 m for comparison. The comparison results confirm that for complex models, the waveform of the matrix decomposition-based viscoelastic propagation operator is also close to that of the matrix decomposition-based acoustic propagation operator, indicating that this matrix decomposition-based viscoelastic propagation operator has practical value and a certain degree of accuracy. Meanwhile, processing the acoustic data using a matrix decomposition-based acoustic propagation operator in related technologies resulted in a significant decrease in resolution, making deep information almost invisible. The failure to use the matrix decomposition-based acoustic propagation operator for compensation led to severe distortion of the seismic wave waveform, rendering the migration results inaccurate. This is consistent with the conclusions drawn from the two-dimensional undulation model.

[0140] Finally, when this embodiment is applied to actual seismic data, it can be combined with the velocity model and quality factor model corresponding to the actual data. The model dimensions are a depth of 8605 meters and a horizontal length of 15850 meters. The shot gather records a total of 445 shots, each with 360 geophones, a sampling interval of 0.002 s, a sampling length of 5.004 s, and a velocity model grid spacing of [missing information]. The extension depth is 8605m. The seismic source uses a Ricker wavelet with a dominant frequency of 14Hz. Based on relevant technologies and the geological structure imaging method of this embodiment, the imaging results of the subsurface structure corresponding to the two-dimensional undulation model are determined using actual data. According to the final migration results, it can be determined that for actual seismic data, both the viscous acoustic propagation operator based on matrix decomposition and the acoustic propagation operator based on matrix decomposition reflect the actual situation of the subsurface medium. The results obtained by the acoustic propagation operator based on matrix decomposition are worse than those obtained by the viscous acoustic propagation operator based on matrix decomposition. Overall, the resolution of the acoustic propagation operator based on matrix decomposition is also significantly lower than that of the viscous acoustic propagation operator based on matrix decomposition. This indicates that the geological structure imaging method proposed in this embodiment has certain practical value and can, to some extent, obtain migration results comparable to or even better locally than the acoustic propagation operator based on matrix decomposition in relevant technologies.

[0141] It should be noted that related techniques, such as migration imaging based on matrix decomposition of acoustic propagation operators, suffer from low resolution due to neglecting the viscoelastic information of the subsurface medium, which can even negatively impact seismic interpretation. This embodiment, based on the acoustic wave equation, no longer treats the subsurface medium as an ideal medium but introduces viscoelastic properties to fully grasp the medium's information, constructing a wave equation formula for viscoelastic media. Numerical experiments using two-dimensional undulation models and Marmousi models demonstrate that this method can improve the resolution of migration imaging. The matrix decomposition-based viscoelastic propagation operator proposed in this embodiment can effectively obtain imaging results comparable to those of related techniques using acoustic wave equations. Application to actual seismic data affirms the beneficial effects of this geological structure imaging method, further confirming the practical value of the matrix decomposition-based viscoelastic propagation operator. It can effectively improve the resolution of subsurface imaging, preserve wavefield information to a greater extent, and significantly improve the quality of deep subsurface imaging. This geological structure imaging method represents a development of wave equation migration theory, expanding the application value of fractional wave equations.
