Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of Marchenko imaging technology, specifically relating to a Marchenko imaging method based on optimal integration range constraints. Background Technology
[0002] Given a macroscopic velocity model, the Marchenko imaging method reconstructs the uplink and downlink Green's functions from seismic data by solving the Marchenko equations, and then uses the reconstructed Green's functions to construct images. The Marchenko imaging method can effectively suppress migration artifacts caused by interlayer multiples in seismic data in the imaging domain.
[0003] Marchenko imaging primarily utilizes the direct wave components of the ascending and descending Green's functions to image subsurface structures. When the imaging point is on a reflecting interface, the travel times of the ascending and descending Green's function direct waves are equal, and their cross-correlation phase axis lies at the zero-time axis, contributing energy to the imaging point. When the imaging point is not on a reflecting interface, there is a time difference between the ascending and descending Green's function direct waves. Therefore, the cross-correlation phase axis of the direct waves deviates from the zero-time axis, theoretically contributing no energy to the imaging point. However, due to the limited frequency band of the Green's function direct waves, the frequency further decreases after correlation. Thus, even before the imaging point reaches the reflecting interface, the sidelobes of the cross-correlation phase axis contribute energy to the imaging point. Furthermore, for the same imaging point, the time difference between the ascending and descending Green's function direct waves at the far offset position is smaller than that at the near offset position. The wavelet at the far offset of the cross-correlation phase axis is closer to the zero-time axis, causing imaging points on non-reflecting interfaces to also be imaged, resulting in a decrease in the final imaging resolution. Based on the implementation process of Marchenko imaging conditions, the simplest way to solve the resolution reduction problem is to directly remove the far offset response in the cross-correlation gather of the direct wave, thereby reducing the contribution of the far offset of the cross-correlation gather to the energy of the imaging point and thus improving the resolution of the imaging result.
[0004] Limiting the integration range can effectively improve the shallow resolution of Marchenko imaging, but a small integration range cannot accurately image steep structures. Inappropriate selection of the integration range will inevitably lead to suboptimal imaging results, thus affecting subsequent geological interpretation.
[0005] To address the shortcomings of the aforementioned Marchenko imaging method, this invention proposes a Marchenko imaging method based on optimal spatial integration range constraints. Summary of the Invention
