Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of geophysical exploration technology, in particular to a true amplitude seismic wave imaging method based on inclination and reflection angle domain illumination compensation. Background Art

[0002] In the prior art, seismic data interpretation and reservoir identification require that seismic data have reliable amplitude information so that the physical properties of the underground medium can be inverted based on the amplitude information. Therefore, the fidelity of the amplitude in the seismic data migration imaging results is crucial. Reverse time migration uses the full-wave wave equation as the wave field extension operator, which can simulate various complex wave phenomena such as rotation waves and prismatic waves, and has no inclination restrictions, so it can effectively image complex media with strong laterally inhomogeneous properties. However, even if reverse time migration uses a true amplitude wave field extension operator, it is still not enough to achieve true amplitude seismic wave imaging. This is because the migration is only an adjoint operator of the forward simulation process, not a true inverse operator. Complex overlying strata and limited migration aperture will lead to uneven illumination of the underground structure, thereby affecting the fidelity of the imaging amplitude.

[0003] Least-squares migration is used to correct amplitudes in seismic imaging results and improve resolution. However, it is often solved iteratively using gradient descent-type optimization algorithms, which are computationally expensive and sometimes unstable. Summary of the Invention
