Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of seismic data processing for oil and gas geophysical exploration, and particularly to a method and system for formation absorption compensation based on seismic signal space. Background Technology
[0002] Seismic exploration is a geophysical method for detecting underground structures. This method artificially generates seismic waves, receives reflected signals from the subsurface at the Earth's surface, and then analyzes and processes these reflected signals to detect and predict the geological structure. However, the subsurface medium is not an ideal elastic medium, but rather a viscoelastic medium with an absorption effect. Seismic waves experience frequency absorption and velocity dispersion during propagation in viscoelastic media, severely reducing the resolution and amplitude preservation of seismic signals.
[0003] Compensating for seismic wave absorption and dispersion in viscoelastic media is a crucial research area in high-resolution seismic signal processing. Currently, there are two main types of absorption compensation methods: one based on viscoelastic medium wavefield extension, and the other based on unsteady-state inversion. Seismic wave absorption is a frequency-dependent exponential decay process; the higher the frequency and the longer the propagation time, the more severe the absorption attenuation. Absorption compensation, as the inverse process of formation absorption, is a frequency-dependent exponential amplification process. Noise interference is unavoidable in seismic records, and this noise interference is also exponentially amplified during absorption compensation. Therefore, absorption compensation exhibits strong instability and amplification effect on high-frequency noise. While improving seismic data resolution, absorption compensation also significantly reduces the signal-to-noise ratio of seismic records, severely limiting the application effectiveness of these two methods in practical seismic data processing.
[0004] In practice, gain limiting and frequency limiting strategies are frequently employed to enhance the stability of the compensation process and suppress the amplification effect of high-frequency noise. Gain limiting involves setting a threshold value for the compensation magnitude; once this threshold is exceeded, the compensation stops increasing. Frequency limiting is similar in concept to gain limiting; for seismic signals with frequencies higher than a certain threshold, absorption compensation is no longer performed. Clearly, both of these limiting strategies are compromises made out of necessity, enhancing the stability of the compensation process while reducing the actual accuracy of the seismic signal compensation.

[0057] Acquire seismic signals;
[0058] The coherence direction of seismic signals is determined using methods such as dip scanning, and a spatial prediction error filter with signal recognition capability is designed.
[0059] An unsteady-state filter is constructed to characterize the absorption effect of seismic signals. The unsteady-state filter describes the frequency and phase changes of seismic signals in viscoelastic media.
[0060] An objective functional for non-steady-state inversion of seismic signals after absorption compensation is established, and the spatial coherence of the seismic signals is introduced into the regularization condition of the inversion system.
[0061] The conjugate gradient method is used to invert the objective function to obtain the seismic record after absorption compensation.
[0062] The specific steps of the formation absorption compensation method based on the spatial coherence of seismic signals described in this invention are as follows:
[0063] Step S1: Input the seismic record u(x,t), where t is the reflection time and x is the location on the Earth's surface.
[0064] Step S2: Input the formation absorption quality factor Q(t).
[0065] Step S3: Determine the dip angle p(x,t) on the seismic record u(x,t) using conventional methods such as dip scanning.
[0066] Step S4: Design a spatial prediction error filter a(x) of length 3L, in the following specific form:
[0067] Step S5: Calculate the unsteady-state filter d(t,τ) describing the formation absorption effect. The specific steps are as follows:

[0082] This embodiment is an application example of the present invention in a three-dimensional block of Shengli Oilfield. Figure 2 This is the seismic record of the three-dimensional work area before absorption compensation. Figure 3 This is the subsurface quality factor model corresponding to the earthquake record. The quality factor describes the strength of the formation's absorption; the smaller the quality factor, the stronger the formation's absorption of seismic waves.
[0083] Figure 4 It is the amplitude spectrum of the earthquake record before absorption compensation. Due to the absorption effect of the underground medium on the seismic waves, the frequency of the seismic signal is low, with the main frequency around 20Hz.
[0084] Figure 5 This is an earthquake record after absorption compensation using the present invention.
[0085] Figure 6 This is the amplitude spectrum after absorption compensation. It can be seen that, due to the introduction of seismic signal coherence constraints in this invention, the impact of noise interference on absorption compensation is effectively suppressed. After absorption compensation, the dominant frequency of the seismic signal increases from 20Hz to 30Hz. While maintaining the signal-to-noise ratio, the resolution of the seismic record is significantly improved.
[0086] Beneficial effects: This invention provides a formation absorption compensation method based on the spatial coherence of seismic signals. It is simple to operate, stable in operation, and yields significant results, effectively suppressing the impact of noise interference on absorption compensation and improving the compensation accuracy of seismic signals.

[0088] This invention proposes a stratigraphic absorption compensation method based on the spatial coherence of seismic signals. Unlike noise interference, seismic signals possess spatial continuity and coherence. This invention incorporates spatial coherence characteristics into the regularization conditions of the absorption compensation problem, performing inversion and reconstruction of the absorption-compensated seismic record under spatial coherence constraints. This suppresses the amplification effect of high-frequency noise and improves the accuracy of seismic signal compensation.
