[0013] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0014] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," "target," etc., used in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this invention are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that the embodiments of the invention described herein can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein. Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion; for example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that comprises a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units not explicitly listed or inherent to such processes, methods, products, or apparatus.

[0015] Example 1 Figure 1 This application provides a flowchart of a method for simultaneous P-wave and S-wave pre-stack inversion in Embodiment 1. This embodiment is applicable to situations involving simultaneous P-wave and S-wave pre-stack inversion. The method can be executed by a simultaneous P-wave and S-wave pre-stack inversion device, which can be implemented in hardware and / or software. This device can be configured in an electronic device with data processing capabilities. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes: S110, perform stratigraphic interpretation on the pre-stack time migration profiles of shear waves and p-waves, and establish a geological framework model; the pre-stack time migration profiles of shear waves are obtained by sequentially performing polarization rotation, common receiver point shear wave velocity analysis, and pre-stack time migration processing on the seismic data received by the seafloor seismograph.

[0016] The pre-stack time migration profile of shear waves is obtained by high-precision imaging of shear waves. The process of obtaining the pre-stack time migration profile can be as follows: polarization rotation is sequentially performed on the seismic data received by the seafloor seismograph to distribute the shear wave (SV wave) energy on the radial component; then, the radial component seismic data is denoised, herar wave velocity is analyzed at common receiver points, and pre-stack time migration processing is performed to obtain the pre-stack time migration profile of shear waves. The process of determining the pre-stack time migration profile of p-waves is not described in detail in this embodiment.

[0017] Specifically, after obtaining the pre-stack time migration profiles of shear waves and P-waves, stratigraphic interpretation is performed on the shear wave and P-wave pre-stack time migration profiles to obtain stratigraphic information of the study area, and then a geological framework model is established.

[0018] S120, well-seismic calibration is performed based on the geological framework model, the average seismic wavelet of the study area, and the well logging curves to obtain calibrated seismic data; the well logging curves include: P-wave logging curves, S-wave logging curves, and density curves.

[0019] The average seismic wavelet of the study area can be obtained by extracting wavelets from seismic data at different offsets, resulting in seismic wavelets at near offset, medium offset, and far offset, and then merging them to obtain the average seismic wavelet.

[0020] For example, since simultaneous P-wave and S-wave inversion before stacking requires P-wave and S-wave data from each well involved in the calculation, if only a few wells in the study area have S-wave logging data, the other wells need to use a fitting method to calculate the S-wave data. The P-wave velocity Gardner formula can be used to convert the velocity curve into a density curve, and based on the experience of the study area, the S-wave logging curve can be converted with a Vp / Vs velocity ratio of 2.

[0021] Specifically, after obtaining the geological framework model, the average seismic wavelet of the study area, and the well logging curves, well-seismic calibration is performed to obtain calibrated seismic data. In this case, calibration can be performed separately for near-offset seismic data, medium-offset seismic data, and far-offset seismic data.

[0022] S130, based on the seismic data after well-seismic calibration and the initial low-frequency model of the study area, performs pre-stack simultaneous inversion to obtain inversion results, which are then used to identify natural gas hydrates.

[0023] The initial low-frequency model of the study area contains low-frequency information, which can be an initial low-frequency model established using the layer velocity of the study area.

[0024] The inversion method described in this application allows for exploration, exploitation, and other operations of natural gas hydrates based on the inversion results.

[0025] The technical solution of this application includes: interpreting the stratigraphic sequence of the pre-stack time migration profiles of shear waves and the pre-stack time migration profiles of p-waves to establish a geological framework model; the pre-stack time migration profiles of shear waves are obtained by sequentially performing polarization rotation, common receiver shear wave velocity analysis, and pre-stack time migration processing on the seismic data received by the seafloor seismometer; well-seismic calibration is performed based on the geological framework model, the average seismic wavelet of the study area, and well logging curves to obtain calibrated seismic data; the well logging curves include p-wave logging curves, shear wave logging curves, and density curves; pre-stack simultaneous inversion is performed based on the well-seismic calibrated seismic data and the initial low-frequency model of the study area to obtain more accurate inversion results, so as to identify natural gas hydrates based on the inversion results.

[0026] Example 2 Figure 2 This is a flowchart of a method for simultaneous inversion of P-waves and S-waves before stacking, provided in Embodiment 2 of this application. This embodiment is an optimization based on the above embodiment.

[0027] like Figure 2 As shown, the method in this embodiment specifically includes S210-S280: Before executing S210, this application embodiment can determine the hydrate filling mode to perform pre-stack simultaneous inversion of P-waves and S-waves (P-waves and S-waves) based on the filling model. Since hydrates can both fill pores as fluids and support the sediment skeleton, it is necessary to analyze the hydrate filling mode before establishing the rock physics template. This application calculates the P-wave and S-wave velocities under the two filling modes according to the effective medium model, and then compares them with the actual well logging P-wave and S-wave velocities to analyze the hydrate filling mode. The mineral composition, porosity, and saturation parameters required to estimate the P-wave and S-wave velocities are obtained from well logging interpretation results. The elastic modulus parameters of mineral composition and pore fluid are obtained from laboratory rock physics data. It can be seen that the calculated P-wave and S-wave velocities of the hydrate as skeleton support model are more consistent with the measured data than when hydrates are pore fluids. Therefore, it is believed that the hydrate filling mode in the study area is mainly skeleton support.

[0028] Furthermore, since there may be fewer shear wave logging curves in the well logging data, and the simultaneous inversion of P-wave and S-wave logs requires P-wave and S-wave data from each well involved in the calculation, other wells need to use a fitting method to calculate the S-wave data. The P-wave velocity curve is converted into a density curve using the Gardner formula, and based on the experience of the study area, the S-wave logging curve is converted with a Vp / Vs velocity ratio of 2.

[0029] S210 performs polarization rotation processing on the shear wave seismic data received by the seabed seismograph.

[0030] S220, Multiple wave suppression is applied to the rotated target component shear wave seismic data to obtain multiple wave suppressed target component seismic data; the target component is the component that satisfies the shear wave energy distribution condition.

[0031] S230: Based on the target component seismic data, P-wave velocity, and vertical velocity ratio, the shear wave velocity of the common receiver point is analyzed to obtain the shear wave velocity.

[0032] S240, based on the shear wave velocity, perform shear wave pre-stack time migration processing to obtain a shear wave pre-stack time migration profile.

[0033] In this embodiment of the application, optionally, S210-S240 is the process of determining the pre-stack time offset profile of the shear wave.

[0034] In this embodiment of the application, optionally, the target component is the radial component; the polarization rotation processing of the shear wave seismic data received by the seafloor seismograph includes: polarizing the horizontal component data of the shear wave seismic data received by the seafloor seismograph so that the shear wave energy is located on the radial component; correspondingly, the shear wave seismic data of the rotated target component is subjected to multiple wave suppression to obtain the target component seismic data after multiple wave suppression, including: the shear wave seismic data of the radial component is subjected to multiple wave suppression to obtain the radial component seismic data after multiple wave suppression.

[0035] This application's embodiments polarize the seismic data of the horizontal component, enabling the shear wave energy to be distributed across the radial component. The shear wave energy converges from two horizontal components to a single radial component, resulting in more focused energy, a clearer waveform, and suppression of stray energy, thus solving the problems of weak shear wave signals and susceptibility to noise masking. This technical solution, by suppressing the radial component seismic waves through multiple waves, facilitates the identification of effective shear wave information in subsequent conversion.

[0036] For example, the process of determining the pre-stack time migration profile of the shear wave can be: 1. Polarization Rotation: The seafloor seismograph receives three components of information: the horizontal component X is parallel to the receiver line, and the horizontal component Y is perpendicular to the receiver line. Since the line connecting the shot point and the receiver point generally forms an angle with the receiver line, the SV wave reaching the receiver will project onto both the X and Y components. This results in the observed X and Y component records containing both the radial component R and the tangential component T of the SV wave. To obtain the SV wave, the X and Y components need to be rotated. The purpose of polarization rotation is to concentrate the energy of the SV wave as much as possible on the radial component R and to ensure a uniform energy distribution of the gathers within the positive and negative offsets. Figure 3 The diagram shows the energy plane distribution before polarization rotation (from left to right, the horizontal components X and Y). Figure 4 The diagram shows the planar energy distribution after polarization rotation (from left to right: radial component R and tangential component T).

[0037] 2. Shear wave denoising. After rotation processing, the shear wave energy is mainly concentrated in the R component. However, the R component has significant multiples, which can affect the identification of effective information from the converted shear wave. Figure 5 For multiple wave suppression of the R component gather; Figure 6 This is the R-component gather after multiple wave suppression.

[0038] 3. SEM velocity analysis at common receiver points. SEM velocity analysis is primarily based on common receiver gather data, calculating the up-travel time and down-travel time separately. This approach accommodates situations where the shot and receiver points differ significantly, and also adapts to the characteristic of down-travel P-waves incident and up-travel SEMs exiting. SEM velocity analysis is mainly based on target component seismic data, P-wave velocity, and gamma value (vertical velocity ratio). Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of the transverse wave velocity field.

[0039] 4. Shear wave pre-stack time migration. Shear wave migration is mainly based on shear wave velocity parameters. Figure 8 This is a schematic diagram of the pre-stack time migration profile of a shear wave.

[0040] S250, stratigraphic interpretation of pre-stack time migration profiles of shear waves and pre-stack time migration profiles of p-waves, and establishment of a geological framework model.

[0041] For example, Figure 9 This is a schematic diagram of a geological lattice model.

[0042] S260, well-seismic calibration is performed based on the geological framework model, the average seismic wavelet of the study area, and the well logging curves to obtain calibrated seismic data; the well logging curves include: P-wave logging curves, S-wave logging curves, and density curves.

[0043] Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the process of determining the average seismic wavelet of the study area includes: extracting seismic wavelets at different offsets from the seismic traces near the well, and merging the wavelets corresponding to each offset into the average seismic wavelet of the study area.

[0044] For example, multiple wavelets are first extracted from the near-offset seismic data and averaged to obtain the wavelets corresponding to the near-offset seismic data. The same process is applied to the intermediate / far-offset seismic data to obtain wavelets corresponding to the three offset seismic data. These three wavelets are then combined into an average seismic wavelet. For example, a synthetic seismic record can be output based on the average seismic wavelet and well logging reflection coefficients. This synthetic record is then used to simultaneously calibrate three sets of real seismic data from near, intermediate, and far offset locations to obtain calibrated seismic data.

[0045] In a specific example, the wavelet estimation and calibration process is as follows: For seismic data volumes stacked at different offsets, based on the data conditions of each well in the study area, wavelets from well-side channels with high seismic data quality and well curve quality are extracted. Then, different wavelets are merged into an average wavelet. The bandwidth of the seismic data at near, medium, and far offsets is basically consistent. The amplitude spectrum of the wavelet at far offset is the largest, followed by the amplitude spectrum of the wavelet at medium offset, and the amplitude spectrum of the wavelet at near offset is the smallest. The phase of the corresponding wavelet in the stacked seismic data at far, medium, and near offsets is basically stable, indicating that the data can be used for the next step of joint inversion. To improve the accuracy of the inversion results and the ability to resolve reservoirs, it is necessary to combine seismic and well logging data, that is, to perform joint calibration of well logging, seismic, and geological data under the control of seismic data stacked at different angles. During the calibration process, it is necessary to consider the time-depth correspondence between different gather data and well logging results, as well as the optimal matching of amplitude, frequency, etc.

[0046] S270, based on the calibrated seismic data, velocity analysis is performed to obtain layer velocities and generate an initial low-frequency model of the study area; the analysis density during the velocity analysis meets the high-density condition.

[0047] In this embodiment, S270 is the process of determining the initial low-frequency model. The high-density condition involves performing velocity analysis on each spatial trace and each temporal sample point. This maximizes the utilization of data travel time and provides an initial low-frequency model with richer low-frequency components and higher resolution for inversion.

[0048] For example, the process of establishing the initial low-frequency model is as follows: the initial model used for pre-stack simultaneous inversion should contain low-frequency information. Since seismic waveform data lacks low-frequency information, well logging information is generally used to provide low-frequency constraints during inversion. However, in the study area, layer velocity is usually used to establish the initial model, but conventional velocity analysis methods have low density and low accuracy, resulting in insufficient low-frequency information components for compensation. To address this deficiency, this application uses a high-density velocity analysis method to obtain layer velocity and establish the initial model. Using pre-stack time migration data, every spatial trace and every temporal sample point is analyzed, making full use of the data travel time, which can provide an initial model with richer low-frequency components and higher resolution for inversion.

[0049] For example, Figure 10 This is a schematic diagram of the velocity field obtained from conventional velocity analysis. Figure 11 This is a schematic diagram of the velocity field obtained from the high-density velocity analysis of this application.

[0050] S280, based on the seismic data after well-seismic calibration and the initial low-frequency model of the study area, performs pre-stack simultaneous inversion to obtain inversion results, which are then used to identify natural gas hydrates.

[0051] In this embodiment of the application, optionally, pre-stack simultaneous inversion is performed based on the well-seismic calibration seismic data and the initial low-frequency model of the study area to obtain the inversion results, including: pre-stack simultaneous inversion is performed based on the well-seismic calibration seismic data and the initial low-frequency model of the study area to obtain the target elastic parameters.

[0052] The target elastic parameters include, but are not limited to: the ratio of P-wave to S-wave velocity, and the P-wave and S-wave impedance.

[0053] In this embodiment of the application, elastic parameters such as the P-wave velocity ratio and P-wave impedance can be obtained by simultaneously inverting P-waves and S-waves before stacking. The specific elastic parameters can be selected according to actual needs. This setting can obtain more and more accurate elastic parameters compared to methods such as P-wave inversion before stacking.

[0054] In this embodiment of the application, optionally, pre-stack simultaneous inversion is performed based on the well-calibrated seismic data and the initial low-frequency model of the study area to obtain the inversion results, including: pre-stack simultaneous inversion is performed based on the well-calibrated near-offset seismic data, medium-offset seismic data, far-offset seismic data and the initial low-frequency model of the study area to obtain the inversion results.

[0055] For example, the pre-stack simultaneous inversion method utilizes near, medium and far offset stacked gathers to obtain important elastic parameters such as P-wave velocity ratio and P-wave impedance through pre-stack simultaneous inversion (Formula 1). It can effectively reduce the non-uniqueness of simple P-wave inversion and has the advantages of stable algorithm, strong noise resistance, and no requirement for equalization processing of pre-stack gathers.

[0056] Formula 1 is: ; Where EI is the elastic impedance function, and θ is the angular variable. For the longitudinal wave velocity, For transverse wave velocity, This represents the density of the rock.

[0057] For example, Figure 12 This is a schematic diagram of longitudinal wave impedance. Figure 13 This is a schematic diagram of transverse wave impedance. Figure 14 This is a schematic diagram of the P-wave and S-wave velocity ratio. Figure 15 This is a flowchart of the pre-stack simultaneous inversion process for natural gas hydrates.

[0058] The technical solution of this application establishes a stratigraphic framework through high-precision P-wave and S-wave imaging, and constructs a high-precision initial low-frequency model using high-density velocity analysis for simultaneous pre-stack inversion of hydrates using P-wave and S-wave. This overcomes two shortcomings of commonly used methods: first, poor P-wave and S-wave data imaging leads to inaccurate stratigraphic interpretation, affecting the accuracy of the geological framework model; second, conventional velocity spectra have low spatial density and low precision, resulting in low accuracy in establishing the initial low-frequency model, with the error increasing at deeper layers. This application demonstrates good adaptability to different hydrate study areas, and the predicted P-wave and S-wave impedance, P-wave and S-wave velocity ratio, and other important elastic parameters are more accurate.

[0059] This application establishes a stratigraphic framework through high-precision P- and S-wave imaging and constructs a more accurate initial low-frequency model using high-density velocity analysis for simultaneous pre-stack inversion of hydrate P- and S-waves. This method demonstrates good adaptability to different hydrate study areas and provides higher accuracy in predicting important elastic parameters such as P- and S-wave impedance and P- and S-wave velocity ratios. Based on the elastic parameters such as P- and S-wave impedance and P- and S-wave velocity ratios inverted in this application, areas with significant velocity anomalies and high impedance anomalies are suspected to be related to hydrate ore bodies. Figure 12 The low P-wave impedance region below the seabed, circled in red in the P-wave impedance profile, is similar to the characteristics of a high-velocity methane hydrate ore body. Figure 13 In the suspected hydrate region at the same location, the change in transverse wave impedance was found to be relatively small, especially... Figure 14 The low P-wave velocity ratio anomaly region indicated by the P-wave velocity ratio profile is likely caused by the presence of a free gas layer beneath the hydrate layer. These conclusions are in good agreement with the drilling results, proving that the method described in the embodiments of this application is practical and effective.
