Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of oil and gas seismic exploration, specifically relating to an iterative optimization method for extracting depth-domain seismic wavelets. Background Technology

[0002] Extracting seismic wavelets from depth-domain seismic data is an indispensable cornerstone for depth-domain seismic inversion. With the widespread application of depth-domain seismic migration data in Earth exploration and oil and gas resource exploration, inversion using depth-domain seismic data is a crucial foundational method for achieving detailed imaging of subsurface stratigraphic structure and important structural information, characterizing reservoir distribution, and identifying oil and gas resources. However, because depth-domain seismic data does not satisfy the "linear depth invariance" condition of traditional convolution models, existing time-domain seismic wavelet extraction methods cannot be directly applied to the depth domain, posing significant challenges to directly extracting seismic wavelets in the depth domain.

[0003] Currently, the extraction of seismic wavelets in the depth domain mainly relies on two technical approaches: one approach involves converting the depth-domain seismic data to the time domain or constant velocity depth domain, extracting the seismic wavelet using existing time-domain methods, and then converting the extracted seismic wavelet back to the depth domain (Zhang et al., 2018; 2019; 2020; 2022). However, this domain conversion inevitably leads to information loss and error accumulation in both the depth-domain seismic data and depth-domain well logging data, affecting the accuracy of seismic wavelet extraction and reducing computational efficiency. The other approach utilizes depth-wavenumber spectral analysis to extract the seismic wavelet separately for each seismic trace (Zhang and Deng, 2018; 2023; Andreas et al., 2019; Sengupta et al., 2021; Cai et al., 2022; 2024; Sun et al.). As discussed in al. (2024), the lack of depth-domain logging data constraints leads to multiple solutions in seismic wavelet extraction, and the computational overhead and inefficiency are high due to the need to process seismic data channel by channel. This invention aims to address the limitations and problems of these two methods by directly achieving higher efficiency and accuracy seismic wavelet extraction in the depth domain. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method for rapidly and efficiently extracting depth-domain seismic wavelets directly from depth-domain data and raw well logging data. The method includes the following main steps:

[0006] (2) Using the characteristics of the actual depth-domain seismic record S near the well and the depth logging reflection coefficient r of the well, a depth-domain seismic wavelet basis ψ(h|k) is established. m Construct the objective function for deep-domain seismic wavelet extraction, σ,φ,a).

[0023]

[0024] ⑤ Repeat steps ① to ④ until the preset number of iterations is reached or the following formula is satisfied, then exit the iteration process:

[0025]

[0026] (4) Based on the depth-domain seismic wavelet basis extracted in each iteration of the previous calculation, the final depth-domain seismic wavelet is obtained by superimposing the data:

[0027]
