Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of earthquake data processing technology, and in particular to a method for enhancing weak earthquake signals. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, seismic waves undergo strong absorption and attenuation in deep oil and gas exploration, resulting in extremely weak effective reflected signal energy returning to the surface. These signals are often submerged by background random noise or shielded by strong shallow reflections. Accurately extracting and enhancing these weak deep signals is a prerequisite for improving the imaging accuracy of complex underground structures and the accuracy of reservoir characterization.

[0003] However, existing technologies mainly employ passive separation methods such as transform domain threshold filtering, strong reflection wavelet stripping, or matrix rank reduction, treating these methods as separation objects based solely on energy differences or horizontal linear characteristics. This completely ignores the physical continuity and phase consistency of weak signals extending along space in complex structures. Furthermore, since strong layer stripping methods use subtraction operations, they can erase the real weak signals immediately below due to wavelet superposition effects. Moreover, matrix rank reduction is highly dependent on the assumption of a horizontal phase axis, making it impossible to actively track the spatial trajectory of the weak signal's phase axis and achieve directional energy compensation in complex structural regions without damaging the dynamic characteristics of the weak signal.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a method to enhance weak seismic signals in order to solve the problems in the existing technologies mentioned above. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method for enhancing weak seismic signals, aiming to solve the technical problems in the prior art where weak signals are easily mistakenly ignored, strong layer stripping easily causes collateral damage, and the adaptability to complex structures is poor.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention employs a seismic weak signal enhancement processing method, comprising the following steps: Time-frequency transformation is performed on noisy seismic data to obtain the instantaneous amplitude matrix and instantaneous phase matrix of the time spectrum; Calculate the instantaneous phase difference between adjacent seismic traces at the same time and frequency nodes, and construct a time-frequency topology network characterizing spatial phase consistency based on the instantaneous phase difference; In the time-frequency topology network, strong reflection nodes are eliminated based on the local root mean square amplitude adaptive threshold. In the remaining low-amplitude subnetwork, a graph search algorithm is used to extract the spatial trajectory of the weak reflection in-phase axis with continuous phase consistency. Along the spatial trajectory of the weak reflection in-phase axis, the nodes in the neighborhood are weighted coherently superimposed based on the phase coherence factor to obtain the enhanced time spectrum; The enhanced time spectrum is subjected to inverse time-frequency transformation to reconstruct the weak signal enhanced seismic data.

[0007] The time-frequency transformation employs a generalized S-transform, and an adaptive time-frequency window that varies non-linearly with frequency is introduced during the transformation process. The width of the adaptive time-frequency window decreases as the frequency increases, in order to balance the time resolution of low-frequency weak signals with the frequency resolution of high-frequency weak signals.

[0008] The calculation of the instantaneous phase difference and the quantization of spatial phase consistency employ a phase-locked value, the calculation formula of which is as follows: In the formula, Adjacent seismic traces and The phase-locked value at time t and frequency f, where W is the length of the time sliding window. The time sampling point number within the sliding window. For instantaneous phase, The imaginary unit; When adjacent channels are in phase, the phase lock value approaches 1; when random noise or faults are present, the phase lock value approaches 0.

[0009] The time-frequency topology network is an undirected weighted graph structure, where the vertices of the undirected weighted graph are data points in the time-frequency spectrum, and the weights of the edges of the undirected weighted graph are determined by the product of the phase-locking value between adjacent channels and the instantaneous amplitude similarity.

[0010] The method for calculating the adaptive threshold of the local root mean square amplitude is as follows: calculate the local moving root mean square value of the amplitude of the time-frequency node along the spatial direction, and determine the node whose instantaneous amplitude is greater than 1.5 to 2.0 times the local moving root mean square value as a strong reflection node and remove it from the time-frequency topology network.

[0011] The specific process of extracting the spatial trajectory of the weak reflection phase axis using the graph search algorithm is as follows: set the phase lock value threshold to 0.7~0.8, retain the edges with the phase lock value greater than the threshold in the low amplitude sub-network; use the depth-first search algorithm to traverse the connected components of the remaining network, filter out short branches with a spatial extension length less than 3 consecutive seismic traces, and define the retained long-range connected components as the spatial trajectory of the weak reflection phase axis.

[0012] The calculation formula for the weighted coherent superposition based on the phase coherence factor is as follows: In the formula, For the enhanced time-frequency amplitude, The original time-frequency amplitude, For adaptive gain coefficients, Let be the set of neighborhoods of the weakly reflecting in-phase axis spatial trajectory of the current node. For the node index within the neighborhood, For Gaussian decreasing weights based on spatial distance, This represents the instantaneous phase difference between neighboring nodes and the current node. This is the phase coherence factor.

[0013] The phase coherence factor is used to enable effective weak reflection signals with consistent phase to obtain positive superposition gain. When random noise exists in the neighborhood, the instantaneous phase difference of the random noise is randomly distributed, causing the positive and negative values ​​of the phase coherence factor to cancel each other out, resulting in the random noise amplitude being unable to obtain superposition gain, thereby achieving passive suppression of random noise.

[0014] In the process of performing the weighted coherent superposition, a nonlinear saturation limiting function is introduced to limit the maximum amplitude gain of a single superposition. The limiting threshold of the nonlinear saturation limiting function is dynamically determined based on the difference between the local noise variance and the local signal variance, so as to prevent the waveform distortion or the generation of false in-phase axes due to overcompensation of weak signal amplitude.

[0015] Among them, time-frequency nodes that are not covered by any weak reflection phase axis spatial trajectory retain their original amplitude and do not participate in weighted coherent superposition; after processing all time-frequency nodes, the processed time spectrum is reconstructed into a spatiotemporal seismic profile using generalized S-inverse transform.

[0016] The earthquake weak signal enhancement processing method of the present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. This invention utilizes the physical characteristics that effective weak signals have continuous and consistent phase in space, while random noise has randomly jumping phase. Coherent superposition is performed along the trajectory, so that the effective weak signals can obtain positive energy compensation, while the noise cannot obtain gain. Thus, the noise is passively suppressed in a relative sense, and the signal-to-noise ratio and fidelity of deep weak signals are significantly improved. 2. Instead of fitting and subtracting the strong reflection layer, this invention directly removes high-energy nodes from the topology network and actively searches for weak signal trajectories in the remaining low-amplitude pure noise background. This cuts off the physical damage path of strong layer processing to weak layer signals and protects the real weak reflection waveform to the greatest extent. 3. This invention constructs a time-frequency topology network based on phase-locked values ​​by extracting instantaneous phases and extracts spatial trajectories by combining graph search algorithms. This overcomes the bottleneck of poor adaptability of traditional methods to complex geological structures. The phase-locked values ​​constructed in this invention measure the dynamic continuity of wave field propagation between adjacent channels, rather than geometric horizontality. Even if the in-phase axis undergoes drastic tilt changes or breaks, as long as the wave field is physically continuous, a connected component can be formed in the topology network, thereby achieving accurate tracking and enhancement of weak signal in-phase axes under any complex structure. Detailed Implementation

[0017] This invention provides a method for enhancing weak seismic signals, comprising the following steps: Time-frequency transformation is performed on noisy seismic data to obtain the instantaneous amplitude matrix and instantaneous phase matrix of the time spectrum; Calculate the instantaneous phase difference between adjacent seismic traces at the same time and frequency nodes, and construct a time-frequency topology network representing spatial phase consistency based on the instantaneous phase difference; In the time-frequency topology network, strong reflection nodes are eliminated based on the local root mean square amplitude adaptive threshold.

Along the spatial trajectory of the weak reflection in-phase axis, the nodes in the neighborhood are weighted coherently superimposed based on the phase coherence factor to obtain the enhanced time spectrum; The enhanced time spectrum is subjected to inverse time-frequency transformation to reconstruct the weak signal enhanced seismic data.

[0018] Furthermore, the time-frequency transformation adopts the generalized S-transform, and an adaptive time-frequency window that changes nonlinearly with frequency is introduced during the transformation process. The width of the adaptive time-frequency window decreases as the frequency increases, so as to balance the time resolution of low-frequency weak signals and the frequency resolution of high-frequency weak signals.

[0019] Furthermore, the calculation of the instantaneous phase difference and the quantization of spatial phase consistency adopt a phase-locked value, the calculation formula of which is: In the formula, Adjacent seismic traces and The phase-locked value at time t and frequency f, where W is the length of the time sliding window. The time sampling point number within the sliding window. For instantaneous phase, The imaginary unit; When adjacent channels are in phase, the phase lock value approaches 1; when random noise or faults are present, the phase lock value approaches 0.

[0020] Furthermore, the time-frequency topology network is an undirected weighted graph structure, where the vertices of the undirected weighted graph are data points in the time-frequency spectrum, and the weights of the edges of the undirected weighted graph are determined by the product of the phase-locking value between adjacent channels and the instantaneous amplitude similarity.

[0021] Furthermore, the method for calculating the local root mean square amplitude adaptive threshold is as follows: calculate the local moving root mean square value of the amplitude of the time-frequency node along the spatial direction, and determine the node whose instantaneous amplitude is greater than 1.5 to 2.0 times the local moving root mean square value as a strong reflection node and remove it from the time-frequency topology network.

[0022] Furthermore, the specific process of extracting the spatial trajectory of the weak reflection phase axis using the graph search algorithm is as follows: set the phase lock value threshold to 0.7~0.8, retain the edges with the phase lock value greater than the threshold in the low amplitude sub-network; use the depth-first search algorithm to traverse the connected components of the remaining network, filter out short branches with a spatial extension length less than 3 consecutive seismic traces, and define the retained long-range connected components as the spatial trajectory of the weak reflection phase axis.

[0023] Furthermore, the calculation formula for the weighted coherent superposition based on the phase coherence factor is as follows: In the formula, For the enhanced time-frequency amplitude, The original time-frequency amplitude, For adaptive gain coefficients, Let be the set of neighborhoods of the weakly reflecting in-phase axis spatial trajectory of the current node. For the node index within the neighborhood, For Gaussian decreasing weights based on spatial distance, This represents the instantaneous phase difference between neighboring nodes and the current node. This is the phase coherence factor.

[0024] Furthermore, the phase coherence factor is used to enable effective weak reflection signals with consistent phase to obtain positive superposition gain; when random noise exists in the neighborhood, the instantaneous phase difference of the random noise is randomly distributed, causing the positive and negative values ​​of the phase coherence factor to cancel each other out, resulting in the random noise amplitude being unable to obtain superposition gain, thereby achieving passive suppression of random noise.

[0025] Furthermore, when performing the weighted coherent superposition, a nonlinear saturation limiting function is introduced to limit the maximum amplitude gain of a single superposition. The limiting threshold of the nonlinear saturation limiting function is dynamically determined based on the difference between the local noise variance and the local signal variance, in order to prevent the weak signal amplitude from being overcompensated, which could lead to waveform distortion or the generation of false in-phase axes.

[0026] Furthermore, time-frequency nodes not covered by any weakly reflecting phase axis spatial trajectories retain their original amplitudes and do not participate in weighted coherent superposition; after processing all time-frequency nodes, the processed time-frequency spectrum is reconstructed into a spatiotemporal seismic profile using a generalized S-transform.

[0027] In this embodiment, This invention provides a method for enhancing weak seismic signals, comprising the following steps: S1: Perform time-frequency transformation on noisy seismic data to obtain the instantaneous amplitude matrix and instantaneous phase matrix of the time spectrum; Furthermore, the time-frequency transformation adopts the generalized S-transform, and an adaptive time-frequency window that changes nonlinearly with frequency is introduced during the transformation process. The width of the adaptive time-frequency window decreases as the frequency increases, so as to balance the time resolution of low-frequency weak signals and the frequency resolution of high-frequency weak signals. Given noisy seismic data Where s is the spatial channel number and t is time, the time spectrum is obtained using the generalized S-transform. Then, the instantaneous amplitude matrix is ​​obtained by analyzing the signal. and instantaneous phase matrix .

[0028] S2: Calculate the instantaneous phase difference between adjacent seismic traces at the same time and frequency nodes, and construct a time-frequency topology network representing spatial phase consistency based on the instantaneous phase difference; Furthermore, the calculation of the instantaneous phase difference and the quantization of spatial phase consistency adopt a phase-locked value, the calculation formula of which is: In the formula, Adjacent seismic traces and The phase-locked value at time t and frequency f, where W is the length of the time sliding window. The time sampling point number within the sliding window. For instantaneous phase, The value is an imaginary unit; when adjacent channels are in phase, the phase lock value approaches 1, and when random noise or faults are present, the phase lock value approaches 0. It should be noted that the time variable t and the sliding window length W involved in the formula are both discrete integers. When W is odd, the upper and lower limits of the summation are... The floor function is used to ensure that the summation interval contains valid integer indices. Furthermore, the time-frequency topology network is an undirected weighted graph structure. The vertex V of the undirected weighted graph is a data point in the time spectrum, and the weight of the edge E of the undirected weighted graph is determined by the product of the phase lock value between adjacent channels and the instantaneous amplitude similarity. The instantaneous amplitude similarity S is calculated using Gaussian radial basis functions: In the formula, For local amplitude variance, the final weight of the edge This simultaneously constrains the spatial phase continuity and waveform amplitude similarity of weak signals.

[0029] S3: In the time-frequency topology network, strong reflection nodes are eliminated based on the local root mean square amplitude adaptive threshold. In the remaining low amplitude subnetwork, the spatial trajectory of weak reflection in phase axis with continuous phase consistency is extracted using a graph search algorithm. Furthermore, the method for calculating the local root-mean-square amplitude adaptive threshold is as follows: calculate the local sliding root-mean-square value of the time-frequency node amplitude along the spatial direction. In the formula, M represents the number of channels in the spatial sliding window, which represents the instantaneous amplitude. Nodes with values ​​greater than 1.5 to 2.0 times the local moving root mean square value are identified as strong reflection nodes and removed from the time-frequency topology network to avoid subsequent subtraction stripping causing collateral damage to the underlying weak signal. Furthermore, the specific process of extracting the spatial trajectory of the weak reflection phase axis using the graph search algorithm is as follows: set the phase lock value threshold to 0.7~0.8, and retain the edges with the phase lock value greater than the threshold in the low amplitude sub-network; use the DFS algorithm to traverse the connected components of the remaining network. In the DFS traversal, the search direction is only along the spatial direction (i.e., adjacent seismic traces), and find connected nodes with the same frequency and time shift in the time direction less than half a phase period between adjacent traces as the next traversal nodes. Filter out short branches with a spatial extension length less than 3 consecutive seismic traces, and define the retained long-range connected components as the spatial trajectory of the weak reflection phase axis.

[0030] S4: Along the spatial trajectory of the weak reflection in-phase axis, perform weighted coherent superposition of the nodes in the neighborhood based on the phase coherence factor to obtain the enhanced time spectrum; Furthermore, the calculation formula for the weighted coherent superposition based on the phase coherence factor is as follows: In the formula, For the enhanced time-frequency amplitude, The original time-frequency amplitude, For adaptive gain coefficients, Let be the set of neighborhoods of the weakly reflecting in-phase axis spatial trajectory of the current node. For the node index within the neighborhood, For Gaussian decreasing weights based on spatial distance, This represents the instantaneous phase difference between neighboring nodes and the current node. The phase coherence factor; In specific implementation, the neighborhood set Defined as the set of nodes within N consecutive spatial channels (e.g., N=5) along the spatial trajectory of the same phase axis, the adaptive gain coefficient... Based on the dynamic determination of the local signal-to-noise ratio estimate, the formula is as follows: ,in, The basic gain constant, To prevent division by zero, a regularization constant is used; Furthermore, the phase coherence factor is used to enable effective weak reflection signals with consistent phase to obtain positive superposition gain; when random noise exists in the neighborhood, the instantaneous phase difference of the random noise is randomly distributed, causing the positive and negative values ​​of the phase coherence factor to cancel each other out, resulting in the random noise amplitude being unable to obtain superposition gain, thereby achieving passive suppression of random noise. Furthermore, during the weighted coherent superposition, a nonlinear saturation limiting function is introduced to restrict the maximum amplitude gain of a single superposition. The limiting threshold of the nonlinear saturation limiting function is dynamically determined based on the difference between the local noise variance and the local signal variance to prevent overcompensation of weak signal amplitude, which could lead to waveform distortion or the generation of false in-phase axes. Specifically, the local noise variance is estimated using the robust median absolute deviation method, with the following formula: Local signal variance through We obtain, where The total variance of the local data, and the amplitude limit threshold. When the compensated amplitude Exceed At that time, it was forcibly truncated into .
