[0002] The measurement-while-drilling technology is a widely used method in oil and gas exploration and geological drilling, which obtains physical signals near the drill bit or drill pipe during drilling to assist in judging the structure and properties of the stratum. As an important means, acoustic wave measurement while drilling can provide acoustic wave information of the stratum in front of the drill bit, so as to realize the pre-judgment of lithology changes and adverse geological bodies (such as fault fracture zone, karst cave, water-rich layer, etc.). However, the existing acoustic wave measurement while drilling method has the following main problems: complex noise is generated by rock breaking of the drill bit during drilling, including mechanical vibration, drilling pressure fluctuation, and drill pipe resonance, etc., so that the acoustic wave signal while drilling appears as low signal-to-noise ratio and unclear time-frequency characteristics at the receiving end. The traditional filtering or simple frequency domain analysis method is difficult to accurately extract the effective acoustic wave signal from the complex background, which affects the accuracy of stratum exploration. The existing technology usually cannot accurately determine the comprehensive characteristic parameters of the acoustic wave source while drilling, such as the main frequency, frequency band width, energy attenuation coefficient, and directivity, etc. by combining theoretical analysis, which leads to the lack of pertinence of signal processing and stratum imaging model, and affects the reliability of the imaging result. The traditional method relies on empirical formula or simple numerical simulation, and it is difficult to fully consider the influence of complex adverse geological bodies such as lithology boundary, fault fracture zone, karst cave, and water-rich layer, etc., and lacks high-precision acoustic wave propagation rule modeling and characteristic parameter extraction means. At the same time, the existing imaging method has limited training and prediction ability for large-scale and multi-type geological bodies, and it is difficult to realize high-precision real-time imaging of the stratum in front of the near-bit.
