Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of seismic data processing technology, specifically to a method and system for rapidly establishing and inverting an initial model for seismic shear wave velocity inversion. Background Technology

[0002] Seismic shear wave velocity inversion is a crucial step in surface wave exploration. By inverting the dispersion curve, the distribution of shear wave velocities in the subsurface space can be obtained, and the location of the target can be inferred from this. Conventional inversion algorithms typically rely on an initial model. However, current initial models are generally built by first designing the layer thickness and then assigning wave velocities to each layer based on experience, which can easily lead to significant deviations between the initial model and the actual wave velocities. If the initial model deviates too much from the actual wave velocities, the inversion algorithm will have difficulty converging and will not yield accurate inversion results. Therefore, to quickly and accurately infer the location of the target, it is necessary to rapidly establish an effective initial model for seismic shear wave velocity inversion.

[0042] The embodiments of the technical solution of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These embodiments are merely illustrative of the technical solution of the present invention and are therefore intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0043] like Figure 1 The flowchart shown illustrates a method for rapidly establishing an initial model for seismic shear wave velocity inversion. This method includes:

[0044] Step 1: Extract the surface wave dispersion curve from the original surface wave data, and convert the phase velocity and frequency in the surface wave dispersion curve into the apparent shear wave velocity and depth, respectively.

[0045] Step 2: Interpolate the surface wave dispersion curve obtained by conversion according to the layer depth array of the initial model to obtain the inversion initial model.

[0046] Specifically, firstly, dispersion curves can be extracted from the acquired raw surface wave data to obtain the corresponding surface wave dispersion curves. ,like Figure 5 As shown. The surface wave dispersion curve... The vertical axis in the figure represents the phase velocity. Converted to apparent transverse wave velocity and the surface wave dispersion curve The horizontal axis in the graph represents frequency. Convert to depth The transformed surface wave dispersion curve is obtained. ,like Figure 6 As shown. Then, the surface wave dispersion curve can be directly obtained. Establishing an initial inversion model eliminates the need for a pre-designed initial model, achieving rapid modeling. When establishing the initial inversion model, the underground space can be divided into several layers of fixed thickness, determining the layer depth array of the initial inversion model, and based on the transformed surface wave dispersion curve... Based on the depths corresponding to each layer's depth array, an interpolation algorithm is used to transform the surface wave dispersion curves. The apparent shear wave velocity is assigned to the depth array of each layer, thus establishing an initial inversion model for seismic shear wave velocity. Since the apparent shear wave velocity and the actual shear wave velocity have the same trend of change, the initial inversion model established in this way can ensure the stable convergence of the algorithm during seismic shear wave velocity inversion, avoiding the inversion from getting trapped in local minima or failing to converge.

[0047] In this embodiment, optionally, the phase velocity in the surface wave dispersion curve can be converted into the apparent shear wave velocity using the following calculation formula:

[0048] ;

[0049] , The first and second lines in the surface wave dispersion curves are respectively The reciprocal of the frequency and the phase velocity corresponding to each data point.

[0050] In this embodiment, optionally, the frequency in the surface wave dispersion curve can be converted to depth using the following formula:

[0051] ;

[0052] in, , The first and second lines in the surface wave dispersion curves are respectively The frequency and phase velocity corresponding to each data point.

[0053] In this embodiment, optionally, the obtained surface wave dispersion curve is interpolated according to the layer depth array of the initial model, including:

[0054] Extract the two data points from the surface wave dispersion curve obtained by the transformation that are closest to the depth of the element in the layer depth array, and determine the apparent shear wave velocity of the element based on the apparent shear wave velocity corresponding to the two data points.

[0055] Specifically, for the layer depth array of the first... element The surface wave dispersion curve can be determined based on the depth corresponding to the element. Search for the closest element Two data points , Based on these two data points , Corresponding apparent transverse wave velocity , Calculate the elements Corresponding apparent transverse wave velocity The specific calculation formula is as follows:

[0056] .

[0057] By repeating this process, the apparent transverse wave velocity corresponding to all elements in the layer depth array can be obtained, and a curve can then be established based on this. That is, the inversion of the initial model.

[0058] like Figure 2 The flowchart shown illustrates the seismic shear wave velocity inversion method, which includes:

[0059] Step S1: Using the above-described method for rapidly establishing the initial inversion model, construct the initial inversion model;

[0060] Step S2: Perform seismic shear wave velocity inversion based on the initial inversion model to determine the shear wave velocity distribution in the underground space.

[0061] Specifically, firstly, the aforementioned method for rapidly establishing an initial inversion model can be used to quickly and effectively establish an initial inversion model for seismic shear wave velocity. Then, based on this initial model, existing inversion algorithms can be used to invert seismic shear wave velocity, thereby determining the distribution of shear wave velocity in the subsurface space and inferring the location of the target. Because the apparent shear wave velocity and the actual shear wave velocity in the established initial inversion model maintain consistent trends in their variation, the initial inversion model ensures stable convergence of the algorithm during seismic shear wave velocity inversion, preventing the inversion from getting trapped in local minima or failing to converge.

[0062] Figure 7 For the seismic shear wave velocity inversion results obtained using the inversion method claimed in this application, from Figure 7 It can be seen that the inversion results obtained by the inversion method protected in this application are basically consistent with the theoretical values, proving that the initial inversion model constructed in this application can ensure the stable convergence of the algorithm during seismic shear wave velocity inversion, and avoid the inversion from getting trapped in local minima or failing to converge.

The model building module can divide the underground space into several layers with a fixed thickness, determine the layer depth array of the initial inversion model, and base it on the transformed surface wave dispersion curve. Based on the depths corresponding to each layer's depth array, an interpolation algorithm is used to transform the surface wave dispersion curves. The apparent shear wave velocity is assigned to each layer depth array, thereby establishing an initial inversion model for seismic shear wave velocity.

The two data points closest to the element are searched. The interpolation unit can calculate the apparent shear wave velocity corresponding to each element based on the apparent shear wave velocity corresponding to the two corresponding data points, thereby obtaining the apparent shear wave velocity corresponding to all elements in the layer depth array and establishing the initial inversion model.
