[0079] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer and more understandable, the following further elaborates on the present application in detail with reference to specific embodiments and the accompanying drawings.

[0080] It should be noted that unless otherwise defined, the technical terms or scientific terms used in the embodiments of the present application should have the ordinary meanings understood by those with ordinary skills in the field to which the present application belongs. The "first", "second" and similar terms used in the embodiments of the present application do not denote any order, quantity or importance, but are only used to distinguish different components. Words such as "including" or "comprising" mean that the elements or objects appearing before this word cover the elements or objects listed after this word and their equivalents, without excluding other elements or objects. Words such as "connected" or "coupled" are not limited to physical or mechanical connections, but may include electrical connections, whether direct or indirect. "Upper", "lower", "left", "right", etc. are only used to represent relative position relationships. When the absolute position of the object being described changes, the relative position relationship may also change accordingly.

[0081] The zero-offset gather, also known as the zero-offset shot gather, is a special type of shot gather data in VSP data. Its core feature is that the projection positions of the shot point and the geophones in the receiving well coincide or are nearly coincident on the horizontal plane, that is, the offset approaches zero.

[0082] P-wave to P-wave (PP wave): The seismic wave is triggered from the seismic source in the form of a longitudinal (Primary, P) wave and returns to the geophone in the form of a longitudinal wave after being reflected by the subsurface interface.

[0083] P-wave to S-wave (PS wave): The seismic wave is triggered from the seismic source in the form of a longitudinal (Primary, P) wave and is converted to a transverse (Secondary, S) wave and returns to the geophone after being reflected by the subsurface interface.

[0084] A coherent event is a continuous waveform sequence composed of reflected waves or refracted waves with similar phase characteristics on multiple adjacent traces in a seismic record. It is manifested as a linear or curved form in which wave crests or wave troughs are continuously arranged in the time-space domain.

[0085] Common Image Gathers (CIGs) is a data set formed by gathering seismic data from different shot points or azimuth angles around the same subsurface imaging point according to specific rules in seismic imaging processing.

[0086] According to Figure 1 As shown, the embodiments of the present application provide a 3D VSP multi-wave joint imaging method 100 in the OVT domain. The method includes:

[0087] S100. Determine an initial velocity model according to the first arrivals of the downgoing P-wave and the downgoing S-wave in the zero-offset gather;

[0088] Specifically, according to the first arrivals of the downgoing P-wave and downgoing S-wave in the zero-offset gather, the P-wave interval velocity, S-wave interval velocity, and P / S velocity ratio are determined; according to the P-wave interval velocity, S-wave interval velocity, and P / S velocity ratio, the P-wave root-mean-square (RMS) velocity, S-wave RMS velocity, and P / S RMS velocity ratio are respectively determined; and an initial velocity model is determined based on the P-wave RMS velocity, S-wave RMS velocity, and P / S RMS velocity ratio.

[0089] It should be noted that the above root-mean-square values (P-wave RMS velocity, S-wave RMS velocity, and P / S RMS velocity ratio) are types of velocity models. That is to say, the initial velocity model can be one or more of the P-wave RMS velocity, S-wave RMS velocity, and P / S RMS velocity ratio.

[0090] Reference Figure 2 As shown, it is a schematic diagram of the initial velocity model in an embodiment of the present application, where a respectively shows the P-wave interval velocity V P , S-wave interval velocity V S , as well as the P-wave RMS velocity RMSV P and S-wave RMS velocity RMSV S . b shows the P / S velocity ratio V P / V S ratio, and the P / S RMS velocity ratio RMSV P / V S ratio.

[0091] Seismic waves (simulated by shot points) are usually a P-wave, but when impacting downward, an S-wave will also be formed. Generally, the S-wave cannot be received in surface seismic surveys. For geophones, they are evenly distributed from the wellhead to the bottom of the receiving well. For example, a geophone is buried every 20 m. The geophones are arranged in layers, so the velocities of the downgoing P-wave and downgoing S-wave excited from the zero-offset gather can be detected for each layer, which are the P-wave interval velocity and S-wave interval velocity. By detecting the S-wave interval velocity and the S-wave interval velocity, it is convenient to calculate the P / S velocity ratio and the P / S RMS velocity ratio. Further, the P-wave interval velocity V P , S-wave interval velocity V S , as well as the P-wave RMS velocity RMSV P , S-wave RMS velocity RMSV S , P / S velocity ratio V P / V S ratio, and the P / S RMS velocity ratio RMSV P / V S ratio obtained from the initial velocity model provide basic velocity parameters for the generation of subsequent OVT common image point gathers.

[0092] In step S102, a shot point and an imaging point are determined. Multiple azimuth sectors are divided according to the azimuth of the shot point relative to the imaging point on the ground. Based on the initial velocity model, OVT common imaging point gathers of each azimuth sector are generated.

[0093] In ground seismic data processing, azimuth sectors are divided according to the offset and azimuth angle of the shot point and the geophone. Different from ground seismic, in a vertical seismic profile (VSP), the geophone is fixed in the receiving well, and the method of dividing azimuth sectors in ground seismic cannot be directly used. In the embodiments of the present application, after seismic waves (including P-waves and S-waves) excited by shot points in different directions propagate to the same reflection point, they propagate along the same reflection path to the geophone in the receiving well, that is, waves in different directions propagate along the same reflection path to the geophone after reaching the reflection point. Therefore, the influence of azimuth anisotropy on the travel time of seismic waves is mainly in the propagation stage when the seismic waves travel downward to the reflection point. In order to flip the division of each azimuth sector, the method of pseudo-ground seismic offset is adopted, and azimuth sectors are divided according to the relative azimuth between the shot point and the imaging point of the reflection point on the ground, which is convenient for subsequent elimination of the influence of anisotropy on travel time.

[0094] In some embodiments, determining a shot point and an imaging point, and dividing multiple azimuth sectors according to the azimuth of the shot point relative to the imaging point on the ground includes:

[0095] Determining multiple shot points located on the ground;

[0096] Determining the imaging point;

[0097] Dividing azimuth sectors at equal angles according to the azimuths of multiple shot points relative to the imaging point.

[0098] In some exemplary embodiments, the number of shot points is not less than 2.

[0099] The purpose of the embodiments of the present application is for a vertical seismic profile. When the traditional ground seismic method of dividing azimuth sectors using the offset and azimuth angle between the shot point and the geophone is not applicable, azimuth sectors are further divided by the relative azimuth between the shot point and the imaging point, which is convenient for subsequent elimination of the influence of azimuth anisotropy. Further, for a vertical seismic profile, since the reflection point is located underground, directly using the reflection point to divide azimuth sectors with the shot point may cause deviation in the division of azimuth sectors. Using the imaging point of the reflection point on the ground in the vertically upward direction to divide azimuth sectors can reflect the anisotropy of shot points from different azimuths relative to the reflection point, and is convenient for the division of azimuth sectors and more accurate.

[0100] It should be noted that the reflection point is used to reflect the seismic waves excited by the shot point. In formations at different depths relative to the ground, each formation has an imaging point. Similarly, in the same formation, there may not necessarily be only one reflection point. In the embodiments of the present application, any reflection point can be used to divide the azimuth sector.

[0101] As Figure 3 shown, according to the Kirchhoff prestack time migration theory, after the seismic waves excited by shot points S1, S2, and S3 from different ranges propagate to the same reflection point C, they propagate along the same reflection path CR to the ground. Further, the imaging point of the reflection point C on the ground is determined as C0. Multiple sectors are formed by equally dividing the azimuths of shot points S1, S2, and S3 relative to the imaging point C0. Further, in combination with Figure 4 , taking the azimuth of the Inline line as 0°, and taking 45° as the division angle, the shot points are divided into four azimuth sectors at each imaging point (reflection point): Azimuth I: -22.5° - 22.5°, Azimuth II: 22.5° - 67.5°, Azimuth III: 67.5° - 112.5°, and Azimuth IV: 112.5° - 157.5°. At the same time, the distances from shot points S1, S2, and S3 to the imaging point C0 are x d1 , x d2 and x d3 .

[0102] In some embodiments, based on the initial velocity model, OVT common imaging point gathers for each azimuth sector are generated, including:

[0103] Determine the receiving well, and a plurality of geophones are evenly distributed along the receiving well from the wellhead to the bottom of the well; determine the reflection point where the imaging point extends vertically underground; in response to any geophone detecting the shear wave and / or longitudinal wave reflected from the reflection point, extend from the imaging point to the geophone towards the ground to determine the virtual geophone located on the ground; determine the offset according to the sum of the distances between the shot point and the imaging point and between the imaging point and the virtual geophone; determine the OVT common imaging point gathers in each azimuth sector according to the offset and the root-mean-square velocity of the longitudinal wave, the root-mean-square velocity of the shear wave, and the ratio of the root-mean-square velocities of the longitudinal and shear waves.

[0104] Refer to Figure 3 shown, after the seismic waves excited by shot points S1, S2, and S3 propagate downward to the same imaging point C, they propagate along the same reflection path CR to the geophone R in the receiving well. In order to form the OVT common imaging point gathers, by determining the receiving well, a reflection path is formed when any geophone in the plurality of geophones evenly distributed along the receiving well from the wellhead to the bottom of the well detects the wave (upward longitudinal wave and / or upward shear wave) reflected from the reflection point.

[0105] After determining the reflection path, it is further necessary to determine the offset of the common image point gather. In the embodiments of the present application, the virtual surface seismic offset is used as the offset in the common image point gather. That is, the up-going shear wave and / or up-going P-wave reflected from the reflection point to the geophone are extended towards the ground to determine the virtual geophone points located on the ground. That is to say, along the reflection path extending towards the ground, the virtual geophone points located on the ground are determined. The sum of the distances between the shot point and the imaging point and between the imaging point and the virtual geophone point is used as the offset of the common image point gather, and the OVT common image point gather in each azimuth sector is determined according to the offset, the root-mean-square velocity of the P-wave, the root-mean-square velocity of the S-wave, and the ratio of the root-mean-square velocities of the P-wave and S-wave to determine the common image point gather.

[0106] Reference Figure 3 As shown, the distances of the shot points S1, S2, and S3 from the imaging point are x d1 , x d2 and x d3 , respectively. According to the Kirchhoff prestack time migration theory, taking the shot point S2 as an example, the propagation time of the seismic wave with the propagation path S2CR' is:

[0107]

[0108] Among them, represents the azimuth angle, and respectively represent the propagation time and propagation speed of the down-going wave from the shot point to the reflection point at the azimuth angle T u and V u respectively represent the propagation time and propagation speed of the up-going wave from the reflection point to the virtual geophone point, z represents the depth of the reflection point, x u represents the distance from the imaging point to the wellhead of the receiving well, z r represents the distance between the geophone and the wellhead of the receiving well, that is, the depth of the geophone that detects the shear wave and / or P-wave reflected from the reflection point, represents the azimuth angle the distance between the shot point and the imaging point at the azimuth angle.

[0109] It should be noted that the down-going wave refers to the down-going shear wave and / or down-going P-wave propagating from the shot point to the imaging point, and the up-going wave is the up-going shear wave and / or up-going P-wave reflected from the imaging point.

[0110] The distance from the shot point to the virtual geophone point R' is used as the offset of the common image point gather, which is expressed as:

[0111]

[0112] Among them, x' u = x u + z r tanθu , (3)

[0113] Among them, represents the offset of the azimuth angle of, represents the azimuth angle the distance between the lower shot point and the imaging point, x' u represents the distance between the imaging point and the virtual geophone, x u represents the distance between the imaging point and the wellhead of the receiving well, z r represents the distance between the geophone and the wellhead of the receiving well, θ u represents the angle between the reflected shear wave and / or compressional wave and the receiving well.

[0114] In step S104, inverse moveout correction is performed on the OVT common image gather, and velocity analysis iteration is carried out until the in-phase axis of the OVT common image gather in each azimuth sector is horizontal, and the second compressional wave root-mean-square velocity of the second compressional wave-compressional wave gather and the second shear wave root-mean-square velocity of the second compressional wave-shear wave gather are determined.

[0115] If there is a time difference in the in-phase axis of different azimuth sectors, it indicates that azimuthal anisotropy causes travel-time anomalies, that is, the travel times of seismic waves (mainly compressional waves) excited from shot points at different azimuths to the reflection point are inconsistent. In the OVT common image gather, the horizontal degree of the in-phase axis directly reflects the accuracy of the velocity model. If the in-phase axis is tilted or bent, the velocity model needs to be iteratively updated until it is horizontal.

[0116] In some embodiments, the OVT common image gather includes a first compressional wave-compressional wave gather and a first compressional wave-shear wave gather. Among them, the first compressional wave-compressional wave gather represents the set of down-going compressional waves propagating from the shot point to the reflection point and up-going compressional waves propagating from the reflection point to the virtual imaging point; the first compressional wave-shear wave gather represents the set of down-going compressional waves propagating from the shot point to the reflection point and up-going shear waves propagating from the reflection point to the virtual imaging point.

[0117] In some embodiments, performing inverse moveout correction on the OVT common image gather and carrying out velocity analysis iteration until the in-phase axis of the OVT common image gather in each azimuth sector is horizontal, and determining the second compressional wave root-mean-square velocity of the second compressional wave-compressional wave gather and the second shear wave root-mean-square velocity of the second compressional wave-shear wave gather includes:

[0118] Using the compressional wave root-mean-square velocity to perform inverse moveout correction on the first compressional wave-compressional wave gather, and carrying out velocity analysis iteration until the in-phase axis of the first compressional wave-compressional wave gather in each azimuth sector is horizontal, and determining the second compressional wave root-mean-square velocity of the second compressional wave-compressional wave gather.

[0119] In this step, after performing reverse normal moveout correction on the first P-P wave gather using the root-mean-square velocity of the P-wave, velocity analysis is carried out using the surface seismic reverse normal moveout correction method until the in-phase axis of the first P-P wave gather is horizontal in each azimuth sector. Mainly, the root-mean-square velocity of the P-wave is updated until the in-phase axis of the first P-P wave gather is horizontal in each range sector, and at this time, the root-mean-square velocity of the P-wave is updated to the second root-mean-square velocity of the P-wave. Similarly, the first P-P wave gather is updated to the second P-P wave gather.

[0120] Calculate the average velocity of the root-mean-square velocity of the P-wave and the root-mean-square velocity of the S-wave;

[0121] Perform reverse normal moveout correction on the P-S wave gather using the average velocity and carry out velocity analysis iteration until the in-phase axis of the first P-S wave gather is horizontal in each azimuth sector, and determine the second average velocity for generating the second P-S wave gather;

[0122] Determine the second root-mean-square velocity of the S-wave according to the second average velocity and the second root-mean-square velocity of the P-wave.

[0123] Specifically, for the first P-S wave gather, a time-depth relationship is established using the equivalent C-wave velocity, that is, the down-going P-wave is equivalent to the up-going S-wave, and the root-mean-square velocity of the down-going P-wave can be equivalent to the root-mean-square velocity of the up-going S-wave. In other words, calculate the average velocity of the root-mean-square velocity of the P-wave and the root-mean-square velocity of the S-wave, and use this average velocity as the equivalent C-wave velocity. With this average velocity, the first P-S wave gather can be equivalently treated as an S-wave gather for reverse normal moveout correction. The updated average velocity obtained by performing reverse normal moveout correction on the first P-S wave gather using the average velocity is the second average velocity. Similarly, after reverse normal moveout correction of the first P-S wave gather to the horizontal in-phase axis, the second P-S wave gather is obtained. Reverse derivation is carried out in the same way as obtaining the average velocity using the root-mean-square velocity of the P-wave and the root-mean-square velocity of the S-wave, that is, the second root-mean-square velocity of the S-wave is derived in the reverse direction using the second average velocity and the second root-mean-square velocity of the P-wave.

[0124] For the first P-P wave gather and the first P-S wave gather, the horizontal degree of the event directly reflects the accuracy of the velocity model. If the event is inclined or curved, the velocity model needs to be iteratively updated until it is horizontal. Therefore, normal moveout corrections are performed using the P-wave root-mean-square velocity and the average velocity respectively. During the correction process, velocity analysis iterations are carried out. For example, the velocity analysis iteration can be expressed as making the event in the first P-P wave gather and the first P-S wave gather change from curved to horizontal. During the correction process, mainly the P-wave root-mean-square velocity and the S-wave root-mean-square velocity are updated. After the correction, the events in the first P-P wave gather and the first P-S wave gather in each azimuth sector are horizontal, obtaining the second P-wave root-mean-square velocity and the second S-wave root-mean-square velocity. At the same time, the corrected first P-P wave gather and the corrected first P-S wave gather are obtained, that is, the second P-P wave gather and the second P-S wave gather.

[0125] Based on the second P-wave root-mean-square velocity and the second S-wave root-mean-square velocity, determine the second P-S root-mean-square velocity ratio;

[0126] In some embodiments, the average velocities of the P-wave root-mean-square velocity and the S-wave root-mean-square velocity are expressed as:

[0127]

[0128] where, represents the P-wave root-mean-square velocity at azimuth , V S represents the S-wave root-mean-square velocity, represents the P-S root-mean-square velocity ratio at azimuth ;

[0129] The normal moveout correction amount of the average velocity is expressed as:

[0130]

[0131] where z represents the depth of the reflection point, represents the average velocity at azimuth , represents the offset of the shot point at azimuth , represents the distance between the shot point and the imaging point at azimuth , x u represents the distance between the imaging point and the wellhead of the receiving well.

[0132] Refer to Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, the first P-wave to P-wave gather in the OVT common image point gather before anti-aliasing correction, the second P-wave to P-wave gather in the OVT common image point gather after anti-aliasing correction, the first P-wave to S-wave gather in the OVT common image point gather before anti-aliasing correction, and the second P-wave to S-wave gather in the OVT common image point gather after anti-aliasing correction are respectively shown. Among them, (a), (b), (c), and (d) respectively show Figure 4 the gathers in azimuths I, II, III, and IV of the mid azimuth. (e), (f), (g), and (h) respectively represent the enlarged display in the red frames in (a), (b), (c), and (d). By comparison, whether it is the first P-wave to P-wave gather or the first P-wave to S-wave gather, the same event axis is more horizontal after anti-aliasing correction, and the more horizontal event axis indicates that the velocity model obtained after anti-aliasing correction is more accurate.

[0133] In step S106, a travel time reference is determined to eliminate the influence of anisotropy in each azimuth sector of the second P-wave to P-wave gather and the second P-wave to S-wave gather on the travel time, and the third P-wave root mean square velocity of the third P-wave to P-wave gather and the third S-wave root mean square velocity of the third P-wave to S-wave gather are determined.

[0134] After obtaining the accurate velocity models of the second P-wave to P-wave gather and the second P-wave to S-wave gather in each azimuth sector, at this time, among the OVT common image point gathers in each azimuth sector located at the same imaging point, there is an obvious time difference between the event axes of the same horizon or the same depth. For example, taking Figure 3 the formation where the reflection point C is located as the same horizon, but the arrival times at the reflection point C are different, which is reflected on the event axis as not being in the same time domain. This time difference is the travel time anomaly caused by azimuthal anisotropy. If this anomaly is not corrected during the imaging process, the resolution of the joint imaging profile obtained will be reduced. In order to eliminate the influence of the travel time anomaly on the joint imaging, it is necessary to correct the travel times of the same event axis in each azimuth. According to statistical principles, it is corrected to the average time of the travel times in all azimuths.

[0135] In some embodiments, determining a travel time reference to eliminate the influence of anisotropy in each azimuth sector of the second P-wave to P-wave gather and the second P-wave to S-wave gather on the travel time, and determining the third P-wave root mean square velocity of the third P-wave to P-wave gather and the third S-wave root mean square velocity of the third P-wave to S-wave gather includes:

[0136] Determining the travel times of the second P-wave to P-wave gather and the second P-wave to S-wave gather located on the same event axis; determining the average value of the travel times, using the average value as the travel time reference, and determining the third P-wave root mean square velocity of the third P-wave to P-wave gather and the third S-wave root mean square velocity of the third P-wave to S-wave gather.

[0137] In this embodiment, through the statistical averaging method, the travel times of the in-phase axes in different directions are corrected to the average time, eliminating the travel time anomalies of the same in-phase axis caused by azimuthal anisotropy, and using this travel time to correct the above-mentioned precise velocity model to obtain a velocity model with horizon matching. That is, at different azimuths, the time to reach the same in-phase axis is the same.

[0138] It can be understood that when using the travel time reference to correct the second P-P wave gather and the second P-S wave gather to eliminate anisotropy, essentially, it is the update of the velocities in each azimuth sector, that is, the update of the second P-wave root-mean-square velocity and the second S-wave root-mean-square velocity to obtain the third P-wave root-mean-square velocity and the third S-wave root-mean-square velocity. Correspondingly, after the update of the second P-P wave gather and the second P-S wave gather, the third P-P wave gather and the third P-S wave gather are generated.

[0139] Refer to Figure 6 In (e), (f), (g), and (h) of Figure 8 There are obvious time differences in the point gathers of the same in-phase axis at different azimuths in (e), (f), (g), and (h) of Figure 9 and Figure 10 respectively show that the second P-P wave gather and the second P-S wave gather arrange the OVT common image point gather at the same imaging point into a spiral gather according to the offset and azimuth angle, where Figure 9 In (a) of Figure 9 shows the spiral gather of the second P-P wave gather before correcting the travel time reference, that is, the spiral gather of the second P-P wave gather before correcting anisotropy; Figure 9 In (b) of Figure 9 shows the spiral gather of the second P-P wave gather after correcting the travel time reference, that is, the spiral gather of the third P-P wave gather; Figure 9 In (c) of Figure 9 the red frame in (a) of Figure 10 is enlarged and shown; Figure 10 In (d) of Figure 10 the red frame in (a) of Figure 10 is enlarged and shown. Figure 10 In (a) of Figure 10 shows the spiral gather of the second P-S wave gather before correcting the travel time reference, that is, the spiral gather of the second P-S wave gather before correcting anisotropy; Figure 9 In (c) and (d) ofFigure 10 Comparing (c) and (d) shows that after the travel-time reference is corrected, that is, after anisotropy correction, the travel-time errors of the in-phase axes in different azimuth sectors are eliminated, and the in-phase axes are straighter and more focused.

[0140] After that, in step S108, based on the third P-wave root-mean-square velocity and the third S-wave root-mean-square velocity, the matching relationship between the third P-wave - P-wave gather and the third P-wave - S-wave gather at the same depth in the same time domain is determined, and joint imaging is performed.

[0141] After correcting the migration velocity of the travel-time anomaly in each azimuth, it is necessary to establish the horizon matching relationship between the third P-wave - P-wave gather and the third P-wave - S-wave gather, that is, the matching relationship at PPt0 in the same time domain.

[0142] In some embodiments, step S108 includes:

[0143] Determine the third P-wave to S-wave velocity contrast according to the third P-wave root-mean-square velocity and the third S-wave root-mean-square velocity; determine the matching relationship between the third P-wave - P-wave gather and the third P-wave - S-wave gather in the same time domain according to the third P-wave root-mean-square velocity, the third S-wave root-mean-square velocity, and the third P-wave to S-wave velocity contrast; stack the third P-wave - P-wave gather and the third P-wave - S-wave gather in different azimuth sectors respectively according to the matching relationship to form joint imaging.

[0144] The matching relationship is expressed as:

[0145]

[0146] where V P and γ represent the third P-wave root-mean-square velocity and the ratio of the third P-wave to S-wave root-mean-square velocity respectively, t 0(i) represents the third P-wave - P-wave gather in the i-th time series, where t 0(i) is a vector representing time, i represents the i-th value in the vector, V C represents the third S-wave root-mean-square velocity, and t 0(j) represents the third P-wave - P-wave gather in the j-th time series.

[0147] It can be understood that for the third P-wave - P-wave gather and the third P-wave - S-wave gather, they each have their own joint imaging.

[0148] It can be understood that and both reflect the matching relationship between the third P-wave - S-wave gather and the reflector depth z in the time domain t 0(i) reflects the matching relationship between the third P-wave - S-wave gather and the reflector depth z in the time domain t 0(j) ​​

[0149] For the third P - P wave gather, at time t 0(j) in the time domain, the imaging depth z is determined by the root - mean - square velocity V of the third P - wave after correcting the travel - time reference anomaly caused by azimuthal anisotropy P .

[0150] For the third P - S wave gather, at the same depth z, t 0(i) in the time domain is jointly determined by the root - mean - square velocity V of the third P - wave after correcting the travel - time reference anomaly caused by azimuthal anisotropy P and the root - mean - square velocity ratio γ of the third P - S wave. Thus, the influence of azimuthal anisotropy on the third P - P wave gather and the third P - S wave gather is eliminated. According to formula (1), the imaging results of the third P - P wave gather and the third P - S wave gather in the OVT domain can be obtained, and the same event is matched in the time - space domain.

[0151] Since the polarities of the third P - P wave gather and the third P - S wave gather are opposite, if the result of horizon matching is accurate, that is, in the time - space domain for the same event, at the same event axis in the same time domain for the third P - P wave gather and the third P - S wave gather, the wave peak of the third P - P wave gather profile corresponds to the wave trough of the third P - S wave gather profile, and the wave trough of the third P - P wave gather profile corresponds to the wave peak of the third P - S wave gather profile.

[0152] Figure 11 The joint imaging profiles of the third P - P wave gather and the third P - S wave gather are respectively shown, where Figure 11 (a) in shows the cross - well profile of the third P - P wave gather along Figure 4 the Inline line in, Figure 11 (b) in shows the cross - well profile of the third P - S wave gather Figure 4 along the Inline line in, Figure 11 (c) in shows the cross - well profile of the third P - P wave gather along the Xline line, Figure 11 (d) in shows the cross - well profile of the third P - S wave gather along the Xline. From Figure 11 the imaging profiles in (a) and (b), it can be seen that the polarities of the third P - P wave gather and the third P - S wave gather profiles are opposite, and the resolution of the third P - P wave gather profile is slightly higher than that of the third P - S wave gather profile. For the target horizon at the top of the anticline between 2.0 s and 2.2 s, both the third P - P wave gather and the third P - S wave gather profiles can clearly depict the structure of the horizon. Figure 11 (a) in and Figure 11In (b), the peak of the third P - P gather indicated by the red arrow corresponds to the trough of the third P - S gather, and the trough of the third P - P gather corresponds to the peak of the third P - S gather, with the same - phase axis having the same dip direction. Figure 11 In (c) and Figure 11 In (d), it is the same as the Inline profile, and the arrow position shows a clear polarity reversal feature. In the Inline profile, the same - phase axis of the third P - P gather profile shows discontinuity at the wellhead position, but the orientation of the fault is difficult to determine. The third P - S gather profile clearly shows the development of inclination at the same position, providing more abundant information for subsequent interpretation and inversion.

[0153] In step S110, corridor stack constraint is performed on the joint imaging and the layer - matching accuracy of the joint imaging is determined.

[0154] In order to constrain the 3D VSP data OVT and multi - wave joint imaging, multi - wave corridor stack in the same time domain as the above - mentioned embodiment is used for constraint.

[0155] Specifically, step S110 includes:

[0156] Determine the geophones located at the wellhead of the receiving well and separate the fourth P - P gather and the fourth P - S gather of a short - time window whose first arrivals reach these geophones; use the P - wave layer velocity and the P - to - S wave velocity ratio to correct the fourth P - P gather and the fourth P - S gather to the same - phase axis level respectively; convert the corrected fourth P - P gather and the corrected fourth P - S gather into the same time domain as the matching relationship and generate corridor stack profiles by stacking respectively; insert the corridor stack profiles into the joint imaging, and use the corresponding relationship of the same - phase axis between the corridor stack profiles and the joint imaging profiles to constrain the joint imaging to determine the matching accuracy of the joint imaging.

[0157] The corridor refers to a short - time window near the wellhead of the receiving well (such as 0.5 seconds after the first arrival), and the seismic wave signals in this window are less affected by noise.

[0158] According to the initial velocity model, the signal received by the detector within a short time window starting from the first arrival is the reflected wave signal of the formation at the depth of the detector. Since most VSP sources are P-wave sources and the reflection of the seismic wave occurs at the detector position, which is close to the wellhead of the receiving well, the propagation time of the upgoing wave can be ignored. Therefore, when performing corridor stacking, it is first necessary to separate the upgoing fourth P-wave-P-wave gather and the fourth P-wave-S-wave gather. The upgoing fourth P-wave-P-wave gather and the upgoing fourth P-wave-S-wave gather are directly reflected from the detector at the wellhead to avoid the influence of azimuthal anisotropy. The OVT common imaging gathers are then cropped using a short time window (e.g., 0.5 seconds) after the first arrival of the fourth P-wave and the fourth S-wave from the shot point directly to the geophone. The upgoing fourth P-wave gather and the fourth P-wave gather are then horizontally corrected based on the layer velocity (P-wave layer velocity and P-S wave velocity ratio) obtained from the initial velocity model. At this point, the upgoing fourth P-wave and fourth S-wave fields from the geophone are both one-way trips in the vertical direction. These waves are converted to the same time domain as the matching relationship and superimposed to obtain an accurate corridor stack profile within this time domain at the wellhead. Using the corridor stack profile, which is less affected by noise at the wellhead, the stacked corridor profile can accurately reflect the horizon matching results of the strata at the wellhead within this time domain. Corridor stacking constrains the horizon matching of the joint imaging. By using the corridor stacking sections to compare joint imaging, the events of the corridor stacking sections at the wellhead constrain the joint imaging to be on the same event. That is, the corridor stacking sections are used to constrain the joint imaging to be at the same stratum as the wellhead. This allows for matching of the strata far from the wellhead in the joint imaging.

[0159] If the peaks and troughs of the fourth P-wave gather match the peaks and troughs of the third P-wave gather at the wellhead, and the peaks and troughs of the fourth P-wave gather match the peaks and troughs of the third P-wave gather at the wellhead, the matching is successful. If the peaks and troughs of the fourth P-wave gather do not match the peaks and troughs of the third P-wave gather at the wellhead and / or the peaks and troughs of the fourth P-wave gather do not match the peaks and troughs of the third P-wave gather at the wellhead, the matching fails, and the precise velocity models of the third P-wave gather and the third P-wave gather, that is, the third P-wave root mean square velocity and the third S-wave root mean square velocity, are readjusted until they match.

[0160] It can be understood that, similar to the joint imaging, the fourth P-wave-P-wave gather and the fourth P-wave-S-wave gather each have their own corridor stacking imaging.

[0161] In order to further constrain the results of the joint imaging, the embodiment of the present application uses the corridor superposition imaging results for constraint. Figure 12Schematic diagram of corridor superposition in the embodiments of the present application; wherein, Figure 12 (a) in Figure 12 and (c) in Figure 12 are respectively the wave fields of the zero-offset upgoing fourth P-P wave channel set and the fourth P-S wave channel set, where the red line is the wave field clipping position; after correcting the clipped wave field to the horizontal with the accurate layer velocity at the import position, the corrected fourth P-P wave channel set and the corrected wave field of the fourth P-S wave channel set as shown in Figure 12 (b) in Figure 13 and (d) in Figure 13 can be obtained. After converting them to the same time domain as the matching relationship, that is, the PP t0 time domain, the corridor superposition profile in this time domain is obtained, as shown in Figure 13 (c) in Figure 13 (a) in Figure 13 and (b) in Figure 14 respectively show the results of embedding the corridor superposition profile of the fourth P-P wave channel set into the Inline and Xline profiles of the joint imaging of the third P-P wave channel set. The corresponding relationship of the in-phase axes is good at the target horizon. Figure 14 (a) in and (b) in

[0162] respectively show the results of embedding the corridor superposition profile of the fourth P-S wave channel set into the Inline and Xline profiles of the joint imaging of the third P-S wave channel set. The in-phase axes of its target horizon still correspond consistently, indicating that the joint imaging results of the third P-P wave channel set and the third P-S wave channel set in the OVT domain are relatively accurate. It should be noted that the method in the embodiments of the present application can be executed by a single device, such as a computer or a server, etc. The method in this embodiment can also be applied to a distributed scenario and completed by multiple devices cooperating with each other. In this case of the distributed scenario, one of these multiple devices can only execute one or more steps in the method in the embodiments of the present application, and these multiple devices will interact with each other to complete the described method.
