Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of seismic data processing technology in petroleum seismic exploration, and in particular to a segmented multiple wave suppression method and apparatus based on the spatial distribution of strong reflective layers. Background Technology

[0002] In seismic data processing, artifacts caused by multiples can reduce the realism and reliability of subsurface structural imaging, leading to serious geological biases. Therefore, multiple suppression is a crucial step in seismic data processing. Identifying and suppressing multiple reflections under complex geological conditions is a common challenge in seismic data processing. Improving the accuracy of multiple suppression is of significant research importance for enhancing data imaging quality and overall seismic data processing quality.

[0003] After years of technological development, multiple suppression methods can be divided into three categories. The first category is based on the spatial differences in characteristics between primary and multiple waves; common methods include Radon transform, FK transform, and cluster filtering. These methods are based on the separability of primary and multiple waves, meaning that multiples and primary waves have certain characteristic differences, which are used to identify and suppress multiples in seismic data. The second category is based on the periodicity and predictability of multiples. The most typical technique is predictive deconvolution, which uses filters to attenuate this repetitive seismic signal. This method is particularly effective for suppressing shallow water multiples. This type of technique is entirely based on the wave equation, overcoming the limitations of signal domain filtering methods. Based on the kinematics and dynamics of wave field propagation, it requires only a small amount of information, or even none at all, to achieve a significant multiple suppression effect. In the processing of multiples in terrestrial seismic data, this type of technique, such as SRME, XIMP, and the inverse scattering series method, has been widely used. In the process of multiple wave modeling, these techniques all require the physical element of a strong reflecting interface that generates multiple waves. SRME and XIMP also require a high-precision primary wave velocity model as prior information. The inverse scattering series law does not require any prior information, but its massive computational load limits its large-scale application in production. The third category is intelligent multiple wave attenuation technology. In recent years, thanks to the development of computer hardware and software, intelligent technologies based on deep learning have been applied to various fields, driving rapid industrial innovation. The essence of artificial intelligence is to use machines to simulate human thinking to make judgments, and deep learning is the process of making machines "smarter." Learning from massive amounts of data can even allow artificial intelligence to surpass "human" intelligence. However, due to the difficulty in obtaining multiple wave suppression labels, intelligent multiple wave attenuation technology is difficult to effectively promote and apply. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The inventors discovered that existing multiple wave suppression methods based on the spatial differences in characteristics between primary and multiple waves exhibit significant velocities between the multiple and primary waves at medium to long offsets, and their curvatures differ markedly in the τ-p domain. While these methods can identify and suppress multiple wave energy, they are less effective at short offsets where the time difference between the multiple and primary waves is small. This limitation makes it difficult to effectively suppress multiple waves when there are significant lateral variations in the strata or when the velocity difference between the primary and multiple waves is small. Existing multiple wave suppression methods based on the periodicity and predictability of multiple waves rely on predictive deconvolution techniques, which depend on the strict periodicity of the multiple waves. This condition is only met under horizontally layered media conditions, and can lead to significant errors for large-offset seismic traces. Therefore, existing methods for suppressing multiple waves do not achieve ideal results.

[0005] In order to at least partially solve the technical problems existing in the prior art, the inventors made this invention, which, through specific implementation methods, provides a segmented multiple wave suppression method and device based on the spatial distribution of strong reflection layers, which can quickly and effectively suppress multiple waves and improve the imaging accuracy of seismic data.

[0006] In a first aspect, embodiments of the present invention provide a segmented multiple suppression method based on the spatial distribution of a strong reflective layer, comprising:

[0007] Based on pre-stack gather data, predict the full-length multiple wave model caused by the development of a single strong reflector layer and the inter-layer multiple wave model caused by the development of multiple strong reflectors, respectively, and subtract the full-length multiple wave model and the inter-layer multiple wave model from the pre-stack gather data.

[0008] The gather data obtained after pre-stack multiple attenuation are offset and divided into near offset gather data and medium-to-far offset gather data.

[0009] The near-offset gather data is modified to meet the conditions for deconvolution application. A time-segmented processing method is adopted, and multiple wave suppression is performed on the modified near-offset gather data through deconvolution processing.

[0010] Multiple waves of the mid-to-long offset gather data are suppressed by using a time-segmented processing method.

[0011] Secondly, embodiments of the present invention provide a segmented multiple wave suppression device based on the spatial distribution of a strong reflective layer, comprising:

[0012] The multiple wave initial suppression module is used to predict, based on pre-stack gather data, the full-length multiple wave model caused by the development of a single strong reflective layer region and the inter-layer multiple wave model caused by the development of multiple strong reflective layers, respectively, and to subtract the full-length multiple wave model and the inter-layer multiple wave model from the pre-stack gather data.

[0013] The offset gather data grouping module is used to perform offset processing on the gather data obtained after pre-stack multiple attenuation, and divide the offset gather data into near offset gather data and medium-to-far offset gather data.

[0014] The segmented multiple suppression module is used to modify near-offset gather data to meet the conditions for deconvolution. It adopts a time-segmented processing method to suppress multiples in the modified near-offset gather data through deconvolution processing, and suppresses multiples in the mid-to-far offset gather data through a time-segmented processing method.

[0015] Thirdly, embodiments of the present invention provide a computer storage medium storing computer-executable instructions, which, when executed by a processor, implement the above-mentioned segmented multiple wave suppression method based on the spatial distribution of strong reflective layers.

[0016] Fourthly, embodiments of this disclosure provide a server, including: a memory, a processor, and a computer program stored in the memory and executable on the processor, wherein the processor executes the program to implement the above-described segmented multiple wave suppression method based on the spatial distribution of strong reflective layers.

[0017] The beneficial effects of the above-described technical solutions provided in the embodiments of the present invention include at least the following:

[0018] The segmented multiple suppression method based on the spatial distribution of strong reflective layers provided in this invention completes pre-stack multiple attenuation processing in two steps, before and after migration. First, before migration, multiple development areas are effectively identified and distinguished into single-strong-reflection layer regions and multi-strong-reflection layer regions. Different methods are used to obtain different multiple models to suppress multiples. However, it is difficult to completely predict the correct model of multiples before migration, and it is also difficult to distinguish between near-offset and primary wave energy after migration. Therefore, after migration, the gather data is divided into near-offset and mid-to-far-offset gather data. The near-offset gather data is modified to meet the conditions for deconvolution application. The gather data is then processed segmentally according to the characteristics of multiple development. This segmented comprehensive multiple suppression method based on the spatial distribution of strong reflective layers can maximize the attenuation of multiple energy while avoiding damage to the effective reflection energy in areas where multiples are not developed, protecting the effective information of the original data, and improving the imaging accuracy of seismic data. Furthermore, spatial partitioning and temporal segmentation processing can effectively utilize resources and improve processing efficiency. This method can suppress multiple reflected waves with high quality while optimizing the preservation of effective signals. In particular, high-frequency multiple waves with near offset can be reasonably attenuated. This method is easy to implement and has high computational efficiency.

[0035] Example

[0036] This invention provides a segmented multiple suppression method based on the spatial distribution of strong reflective layers, the process of which is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, it includes the following steps:

[0037] Step S11: Based on pre-stack gather data, predict the full-length multiple wave model caused by the development of a single strong reflector layer and the inter-layer multiple wave model caused by the development of multiple strong reflectors, respectively, and subtract the full-length multiple wave model and the inter-layer multiple wave model from the pre-stack gather data.

[0038] First, static correction, conventional noise attenuation, and surface consistency processing were completed for the pre-stack gather data. Combining previous geological understanding and seismic interpretation stratigraphic results, the development characteristics (spatial location and number of layers) of spatially strong reflective layers were clarified. Starting from the multiple development mechanism, possible multiple development scenarios under different geological conditions were analyzed. Based on this analysis, velocity spectra and velocity analysis super-gathers were obtained using the pre-stack gather data. According to the distribution of energy clusters related to the velocity spectrum, the flattening status of the velocity analysis super-gathers, and regional geological understanding, regions with single-strong-reflective-layer development and regions with multiple-strong-reflective-layer development were identified from the pre-stack gather data. Full-length multiple models generated in regions with single-strong-reflective-layer development and inter-layer multiple models generated in regions with multiple-strong-reflective-layer development were predicted, respectively.

[0039] Furthermore, SRME technology can be used to predict full-length multiple wave models caused by the development of a single strong reflective layer, and SRME and XIMP technologies can be used to predict interlayer multiple wave models caused by the development of multiple strong reflective layers.

[0040] Specifically, for regions with a single strong reflective layer, the terrestrial SRME technique is used to predict a multiple reflection model similar to a free surface generated between the strong reflective layer and the surface, and the multiple wave model is subtracted from the gather data using the matching subtraction technique. For regions with multiple (two or more) strong reflective layers, the terrestrial SRME+XIMP technique is used to predict a complex multiple wave model generated by multiple reflections between multiple strong reflective layers and the surface, and between multiple strong reflective layers, and the multiple wave model is subtracted from the gather data using the matching subtraction technique.

[0041] In some embodiments, during the prediction process of the full-length multiple wave model generated by the development of a single strong reflective layer and the inter-layer multiple wave model generated by the development of multiple strong reflective layers, the layer interpretation data can also be used as a constraint, mainly including the interpretation data of strong reflective layers that can generate multiple waves as a constraint.

[0042] Step S12: Perform offset processing on the gather data after pre-stack multiple attenuation, and divide the offset gather data into near offset gather data and medium-to-far offset gather data.

[0043] Typically, based on the difference in time difference between multiples and primary waves, migrated gather data are divided into near-offset gather data and mid-to-far-offset gather data. In near-offset gather data, the difference in time difference between multiples and primary waves in seismic traces is less than a set threshold, while in mid-to-far-offset gather data, the difference in time difference between multiples and primary waves in seismic traces is not less than the aforementioned threshold.

[0044] Furthermore, the threshold here can be set to 50ms. For example, gather data with a significant downtilt time difference (downtilt time difference greater than 50ms) on the same phase axis can be identified as mid-to-long offset gather data.

[0045] Step S13: Modify the near-offset gather data to meet the conditions for deconvolution application. Use a time-segmented processing method to perform multiple wave suppressions on the modified near-offset gather data through deconvolution processing.

[0046] The near-offset gather data is modified to meet the conditions for predictive deconvolution application. The development period of multiples is estimated in different time periods. The development period of multiples is used as the prediction step size for multi-channel predictive deconvolution processing to attenuate the energy of multiples and primarys in near-offset gathers that have no significant time difference. The data modification method and the determination of the prediction step size will be described in detail later.

[0047] Step S14: Use a time-segmented processing method to suppress multiple waves of mid-to-long offset gather data.

[0048] For medium- to long-range offset gather data, cluster filtering can be applied to predict multiple wave models. For multiple waves with significant attenuation and time difference from the primary wave, this processing involves applying different model parameters to predict the multiple wave model in different time periods. This segmented processing is mainly along time segments. The time difference between the phase axis of the multiple reflection CRP gather and the phase axis of the primary wave increases with time. Based on the medium- to long-range offset gather data, multiple time periods can be divided according to the temporal and positional differences in the energy distribution of the multiple wave and the time difference between the multiple wave and the primary wave. Different parameters are applied to different time periods to complete the prediction of the multiple wave model.

[0049] The above processing was completed by combining the low-velocity energy clusters in the velocity spectrum and the partitioning and segmentation of the super gather flattening based on velocity analysis, and by merging the near-, mid- and far-offset CRP gather data to complete the pre-stack multiple suppression processing.

[0050] The segmented multiple suppression method based on the spatial distribution of strong reflective layers provided in this invention completes pre-stack multiple attenuation processing in two steps, before and after migration. First, before migration, multiple development areas are effectively identified and distinguished into single-strong-reflection layer regions and multi-strong-reflection layer regions. Different methods are used to obtain different multiple models to suppress multiples. However, it is difficult to completely predict the correct model of multiples before migration, and it is also difficult to distinguish between near-offset and primary wave energy after migration. Therefore, after migration, the gather data is divided into near-offset and mid-to-far-offset gather data. The near-offset gather data is modified to meet the conditions for deconvolution application. The gather data is then processed segmentally according to the characteristics of multiple development. This segmented comprehensive multiple suppression method based on the spatial distribution of strong reflective layers maximizes the attenuation of multiple energy while avoiding damage to the effective reflection energy in areas where multiples are not developed, thus protecting the effective information of the original data and improving the imaging accuracy of seismic data. This method can suppress multiple reflections with high quality while optimally preserving effective signals, especially achieving reasonable attenuation of high-frequency multiples at near-offset. This technology is convenient to implement and computationally efficient.

[0051] The test blocks used in this embodiment of the invention exhibit both free-surface multiple reflections caused by a single strong reflective layer and interlayer multiple reflections caused by multiple (two or more) strong reflective layers. It is difficult to fully predict the correct model of this type of multiple reflection before the offset, and it is also difficult to distinguish between the near offset and the primary wave energy after the offset.

[0052] Seismic records are considered to be the convolution of the excitation wavelet and the reflection coefficient, i.e.:

[0053]

[0054] Where s(t) is the seismic wavelet, which is generally assumed to be in minimum phase, and ξ(t) is the reflection coefficient, which is assumed to be white noise. When the input is u(t), the expected predicted output is u(t+a) at a later time t+a, but the actual output... If l(t) is the prediction factor, then the filtered result, which is the prediction error, is... The output error energy is e t =∑ε t 2 Using the least squares criterion as a constraint, an algorithm for predicting deconvolution is obtained:

[0055]

[0056] r xx (τ) is the autocorrelation function, obtained from the input seismic record u(t). The matrix equation is then solved to obtain the prediction factor c(l). The result c(l) is then used for convolution to obtain the prediction result. This is then subtracted from the actual seismic record at time t+a as multiple wave interference, thus completing the multiple wave attenuation.

[0057] As can be seen from the above explanation of the predictive deconvolution principle, this method can be applied to predict wavefield when the signal has a certain periodicity. It is typically used to predict signals that appear at fixed periods in post-stack profiles, shot gathers, and pre-stack CMP gathers. Since the offset CRP gather itself does not meet the conditions for predictive deconvolution, it is transformed into pre-stack shot gather data, with the offset distance of the CRP gather used as the shot-receiver distance. The time period parameter is crucial in predictive deconvolution applications. This parameter is determined as follows: A sliding window length is set. Within the sliding window, statistical autocorrelation analysis is performed on the transformed near-offset gather data (i.e., the CRP gather). The maximum correlation energy delay time within different time windows is output, and this time is used as the predictive deconvolution step size at the center of the corresponding time window. Within each sliding window, based on the corresponding predictive deconvolution step size, multiple wave suppression operations are performed on the transformed near-offset gather data through deconvolution processing.

[0058] Within the predicted time range of multiples, the optimal prediction deconvolution step size is obtained by sliding the time window at certain time intervals for different time periods. Finally, through statistical analysis, the prediction deconvolution processing parameters for different spatial locations and time periods are obtained, and the prediction and suppression of near-offset multiples of CRP gathers in different regions and segments are carried out.

[0059] In this embodiment of the invention, predictive deconvolution is applied to different times t, and different prediction time steps Δτ are selected segmentally based on the duration differences of CRP gather multiple energy, ultimately suppressing interlayer multiple energy generated by different reflector layers. Δτ can also be obtained by performing statistical autocorrelation on the CRP gather data to obtain a specific time value.

[0060] In the identification of multiples, the current application of existing seismic geological knowledge, drilling and logging data, and VSP data for multiple development identification is widespread. This invention, based on the above technologies, applies the velocity spectrum analysis results semi-quantitatively. By using seismic velocity spectra and corresponding gather characteristics, combined with geological knowledge, the spatial development of multiples is clarified, the data is partitioned, and a targeted multiple suppression technique is developed. In the multiple suppression technique, firstly, in the gather data before migration, SRME and XIMP techniques are used to predict multiple models for full-range multiples and inter-layer multiples caused by a single strong reflection interface, and subtractive attenuation multiples are matched from the data. Then, for multiple development areas with multiples at multiple strong reflection layers, the migrated CRP gathers are grouped. For mid-to-long-range migrations, cluster filtering is applied to attenuate residual multiples with significant time differences from the primary wave. For near-range migration multiples, a sliding time window scan is used, and multi-channel prediction deconvolution attenuation of multiples is applied in segments with different prediction step sizes.

[0061] See Figure 2 The diagram shown is a schematic representation of the seismic velocity analysis at different locations in the experimental area of ​​this embodiment. Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram showing the predicted thickness of the strong reflective layer in the test area.

[0062] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of a data offset profile without multiple attenuation steps. Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the imaging profile after multiple wave attenuation via SRME and mid-to-long offset beam filtering.

Figure 9 This is a schematic diagram of the cross-section of the result after near-offset multiple wave suppression.

[0063] The above comparison shows that the method in this embodiment significantly suppresses multiple waves and improves the imaging accuracy of seismic data.
