Currently,the 3D seismic data reconstruction methods based on dictionary learning usually reconstruct the data slice by slice.This strategy neglects the correlation between slices,and doesn’t make full use of the continuity constraints in various directions of seismic data.To solve this problem,a 3D joint reconstruction method based on fast structure dictionary learning was proposed.Under the framework of compressive sensing theory,the method uses fast structure dictionary learning algorithm to train the training set in order to generate a 3D adaptive dictionary,and then reconstruct the data with high precision using 3D adaptive dictionary,observation matrix and regularized orthogonal matching pursuit algorithm.The reconstruction results of model data and real data demonstrated that the method can recover the detailed characteristics of seismic data with high precision and good performance on amplitude preservation.

In recent years,few progresses have been made in broadband seismic exploration technology in shallow water.Especially in shallow water area such as Bohai Sea,where the average water depth is not greater than 30m,broadband acquisition is difficult to be implemented,and only can be realized through conventional acquisition and broadband processing.Ghost and shallow water multiple are the two main factors which restrict the broadband processing of shallow water data.In this paper,an adaptive deghosting method in τ-p domain was proposed to solving the problem of fierce time-space variation of ghost waves in shallow water.An adaptive shallow water multiple suppression method in τ-p domain was proposed to solve the problem that seabed model of Bohai Sea is difficult to be established.The application results in real seismic data in Bohai Sea demonstrated that the two key techniques proposed in this paper can broaden the frequency bandwidth of seismic data effectively,so as to realize the broadband processing of conventional plane streamer data in Bohai Sea.

In recent years,simultaneous-source acquisition technique has shown a broad application prospect in high-density and wide-azimuth seismic exploration.Based on the limited spatial bandwidth of seismic data,a direct inversion method for deblending simultaneous-source data was discussed in this paper.Different from conventional iterative algorithms with constraints,iteration is not required in this method.A basic point-spread matrix was added to the pseudo inverse of time-delay operator,and thus the direct separation of simultaneous-source data without iteration was realized in frequency domain.By modifying the basic point-spread matrix,this method was further extended to the separation of simultaneous-source data acquired with irregular receiver and shot arrays geometry.Theoretical model tests demonstrated that the method achieves good separation effect with high accuracy and efficiency when the deblending condition given in the paper is satisfied.

The reconstruction effect and computational efficiency of different sparse transform methods in compressive sensing are different.Therefore,a seismic data reconstruction method using discrete orthonormal S-transform (DOST) based on compressive sensing technology was proposed in this paper.By taking the inner product of a set of orthogonal basis functions and time series,the time-frequency matrix was obtained,in order to make original signals more sparse and thus improve the compressed sensing reconstruction effect of seismic data.This method makes up for the limitation that S transform cannot be used as the sparse transform in compressive sensing,and a new sparse transform method was introduced to the theoretical system of compressive sensing.Theoretical model test and real data application achieved overall satisfactory reconstruction effect,and demonstrated the fast iteration speed and stable convergency of the method proposed in this paper.

In seismic exploration,affected by the factors such as acquisition environment,technology and cost,some shots or traces can be missing in field data.The incompleteness of seismic data will have adverse effect on later seismic data processing and imaging,thus the reconstruction of these missing data is essential.In this paper,a sparse learning via iterative minimization (SLIM) method was proposed to reconstruct random missing 3D seismic data.It reconstructs 3D missing seismic data based on the 2D harmonic structure of frequency slice.Firstly,apply Fourier transform to 3D seismic data along time direction.Secondly,use cyclic minimization (CM) algorithm to solve the 2D harmonic spectrum of frequency slice iteratively.Finally,apply inverse Fourier transform to the estimated spectrum,and thus reconstruct the missing data.Besides,conjugate gradient least squares(CGLS) is applied to calculate the inverse in data reconstruction,in order to speed up the reconstruction.Test results indicate that the proposed SLIM method achieved good performance on both synthetic and real 3D seismic data,and it performed better than multi-channel singular spectrum analysis(MSSA) method using singular Hankel matrix based on frequency slice.

High-fidelity elastic wave field decomposition has become a key processing step in multi-wave and multi-component seismic exploration.Conventional wave filed decomposition methods can be classified into two categories,kinematic methods and dynamic methods.Kinematic methods decompose the wave filed into P-P wave field and P-SV wave field inτ-pdomain or in spatial domain.Dynamic methods focus on obtaining polarization characteristics of different types of wave.How-ever,neither of them can achieve ideal decomposition results because of their inherent limitations.Motivated by the idea of combining both kinematic and dynamic characteristics of the wave field,a wave field decomposition method based on vector rotation inτ-pdomain was proposed in this paper.It takes near-surface velocity as the key parameter of wave field decomposition,and applies polarity rotation to the vertical and horizontal components of seismic wave field inτ-pdomain.According to the polarization characteristics of different types of wave,it decomposes seismic wave field into P-P wave field and P-SV wave field to the correspon-ding polarization directions respectively.Model tests were carried out based on layered medium model and Marmousi Ⅱ model,and the method was also applied to real seismic data.The results demonstrated that the method can separate P-P wave and P-SV wave more accurately compared with conventional methods.It avoided energy anomaly,wave field aliasing and spatial aliasing,and preserved amplitude well after wave field decomposition.

The variable-depth streamer acquisition technology suppresses ghost effectively and obtains wide-band data based on notch diversity.Sea surface reflection coefficient and the time delay of ghost wave are the two most important parameters affecting ghost suppression effect,and cannot be obtained directly.In this paper,the mirrorred record generation formula and the joint deconvolution deghosting formula with these two parameters were derived.Based on non-Gaussian maximization,taken the negative entropy as the non-Gaussian measure,the sliding spatio-temporal data window was used to solve the ghost wave parameter variation problem.The optimized sea surface reflection coefficient and the time delay of ghost wave were obtained,and then the ghost was suppressed by joint deconvolution.Model test and the application in real data processing demonstrated that the method suppressed the ghost in variable-depth streamer data effectively,widened frequency band and improved seismic resolution.

For complex seafloor with complex wavepath,diffracted wave and diffracted multiples,multiple model predicted by SRME method has low signal-to-noise ratio,incorrect dynamic and kinematic information.Multiple prediction method based on the extrapolation of one-way and two-way wave equation was proposed in this paper.Based on wave equation and SRME method,it uses rock physics model to extrapolate the received wavefield,to derive the predicted multiple model.It also uses adaptive subtraction to improve multiple elimination effect for complex seafloor.Model tests and the application in real data demonstrate that multiple model predicted by the method proposed in this paper has higher signal-to-noise ratio and matches better with real multiples in dynamic and kinematic characteristics,compared with that predicted by individual SRME method.Theoretically,it is nece-ssary to know accurate rock physics model when using this method.For the majority of multiples in marine seismic data are free-surface-related multiples,given seawater and seafloor rock physics parameters,the method proposed in this paper can predict the majority of free-surface-related multiples.

Seismic data contain strong noise outliers.The compressive sensing(CS) method based on L2norm minimization constraint on reconstruction error assumes that the reconstruction error satisfies Gaussian distribution.Therefore,the CS method above cannot remove super-Gaussian noise outliers.To better remove outliers and improve interpolation accuracy,Huber norm was used instead of L2norm to implement the minimization constraint on reconstruction error.The minimization constraint of Huber norm is equivalent to the L1norm minimization constraint on large reconstruction error (noise outlier) and the L2norm minimization constraint on small reconstruction error (Gaussian random noise).Therefore,the proposed method is robust when dealing with noise outlier.Furthermore,theoretical pseudo seismic data were introduced to convert the Huber norm minimization problem to the L2norm minimization problem,in order to solve the Huber-L0minimization problem of the proposed CS method based on Huber norm minimization constraint on construction error.Additionally,the affection of Gaussian noise intensity,noise outlier intensity and parameter selection on interpolation accuracy is tested.The processing results of synthetic and field data demonstrated that the proposed CS method based on the Huber norm minimization constraint of the construction error can better remove the noise outliers and preserve effective signals compared with the CS method based on the L2norm minimization constraint of the construction error.

Adaptive focused beam is an improvement of Gaussian beam.Considering the affection of local velocity field on beam width,it focuses multiple times to control the effective energy of seismic beam within one wavelength.Different from Gaussian beam,adaptive focused beam selects initial beam parameters dynamically.For adaptive focused beam is advantageous in dealing with the i-maging problem in the media with strong horizontal velocity variation,the adaptive focused beam migration method was applied to VTI media in this paper.Based on the anisotropic ray tracing equation system represented by classical elastic parameters,the adaptive focused beam migration in VTI media was realized.The comparison between the beam shape of traditional Gaussian beam and that of adaptive focused beam revealed the advantage of adaptive focused beam in beam shape control.Sub-Sag model test demonstrared the accuracy and stablity of adaptive focused beam migration method in anisotropic media.Anisotropic SEG/Hess model test demonstrated the feasibility of the method proposed in this paper on complex geological model.The application in real data processing demonstrated that the imaging effect of the method proposed in this paper is better than conventional Gaussian beam migration methods in anisotropic media.

Limited by the geometry,the imaging sections based on migration imaging technique have serious “arc phenomenon” at the edge.VSP-CDP stack imaging method based on ray tracing can realize amplitude-preserved VSP imaging.However,it is difficult to obtain accurate structural imaging and velocity model in complex structure situation.Therefore,a non-zero-offset VSP stack imaging method was proposed in this paper,based on dynamic ray tracing effective neighborhood wave field approximation theory.By studying the nature and characteristics of normal distribution,the weight function based on normal distribution stack was derived and used in VSP stack imaging.All the sampling points in depth-time domain were converted into multiple sampling points of reflection points in offset-depth domain,in order to uniform the fold times of reflection points.Model test and the application in real data demonstrated that the VSP-CDP stack imaging method based on normal distribution weight function improved the VSP imaging precision.

Gas hydrate has different filling modes.It can be a part of pore fillings or a component of solid matrix in strata.So,the rock physical model of gas hydrate is quite different from conventional rock physical models for oil and gas,and conventional S-wave velocity prediction method is not suitable for gas hydrate.Pertinently,a method to predict S-wave velocity of gas hydrate based on effective medium model was proposed in this paper.Firstly,the influence of mineral composition,porosity and hydrate saturation on P-wave and S-wave velocities was analyzed.Secondly,according to the effective medium model,a constrained optimization equation was established based on the conventional well log data such as P-wave slowness,density,shale content,porosity and saturation.The optimization equation was constrained by conventional log data such as P-wave velocity and density,porosity and saturation were used as optimization variables to find the optimal solution.The trust-domain algorithm was applied to solve the constrained optimization equation with fast convergence rate and reliable calculation results.Finally,the efficiency of the proposed method was proved by the drilling data of gas hydrate in Shenhu area,Northern South China Sea.The results of S-wave velocity and saturation match real data well.

Hydraulic fracturing microseismic data can be used to estimate moment tensor and study the azimuth and detailed characteristics of fractures,which have a great effect on depicting the fracture system inside the reservoir.Moment tensor inversion is a linear inversion method.It is not sufficient to invert all moment tensors from single well data.Therefore,additional constraints,near-field data or simplified source models should be considered.Pertinently,the shear-tensile source constrained inversion was studied in this paper.It uses nonlinear inversion method to limit the moment tensor to describing the shear-tensile source,in order to reduce inversion parameters and enhance robust.Firstly,the principle of trust-domain microseismic source mechanism inversion constrained by shear-tensile source was introduced.And then,the application effect of the method was tested using the theoretical model records of single well,double wells and three wells under different tensile angle conditions.The following conclusions were drawn.The moment tensor inversion and the shear-tensile source constrained inversion based on the data of three wells achieved good results when the test data didn’t contain any noise.When the data of few wells were used,the moment tensor inversion couldn’t obtain reasonable results.When the test data contained noise,the shear-tensile source constrained inversion achieved better anti-noise performance,and the inversion effect based on the data of three wells is better than that based on single-well data.The amplitudes derived by shear-tensile source inversion are more selective.

High-frequency surface-wave method with Rayleigh wave and Love wave as the main study objects is widely applied in various fields such as underground water,environment and engineering.For horizontal layered models,S-wave velocities are the most important parameters for estimating multi-mode Rayleigh wave and Love wave phase-velocity dispersion curves.In this paper,the Jacobian matrix was used to infer the sensitivities of multi-mode Rayleigh wave and Love wave phase-velocity dispersion curves to S-wave velocities of the formations at different depths.The following conclusions were drawn.①The sensitivities of surface waves of different modes to the S-wave velocity at a certain depth are different.For both Rayleigh wave and Love wave,low-frequency surface wave is more sensitive to the S-wave velocities in deep formations,compared with high-frequency surface wave.Moreover,multi-mode phase velocities with a broad high-frequency range are sensitive to surface S-wave velocity.②Based on a velocity-increasing layered model and two layered models with velocity anomalies (containing low-velocity interlayer and high-velocity interlayer),the analysis results suggested that the phase-velocity dispersion curves of both Rayleigh wave and Love wave are sensitive to S-wave velocity in low-velocity layer,and they are both not sensitive to the S-wave velocity in high-velocity layer or below velocity-anomaly layer (low-velocity layer or high-velocity layer).③For surface wave of a certain mode,the frequency band of Love wave,in which phase-velocity dispersion curves are sensitive to S-wave velocity of a specific layer,is wider than that of Rayleigh wave.In addition,the sensitivity peaks of Rayleigh wave and Love wave phase-velocity dispersion curves to S-wave velocity of a certain layer are different.Therefore,joint inversion of multi-mode Rayleigh wave and Love wave phase-velocity dispersion curves can be applied to obtain high-precision shallow subsurface S-wave velocity.

Affected by the shielding effect of the interface between Chunshang submember and Chunxia submember of Es4 in Dongying Sag,the seismic reflections of the beach bar sand reservoir in Chunxia submember are weak.Optimized variational mode decomposition technology was used to decompose the target layer seismic signals into multi-band components with different waveform features to suppress the influence of the strong reflection shielding effectively.Strong reflection information with strong energy and low frequency,mostly concentrate in the first component.Through stripping strong signal components and reconstructing resi-dual information,the effective signals of underlying reservoirs can be strengthened.Theoretical model test and the application in real data demonstrated that the method has higher resolution,more complete decomposition and avoids modal aliasing effect compared with conventional empirical mode decomposition method(EMD).It is worth applying to the regions with similar conditions.

Amplitude and frequency,the two basic seismic attributes,are often used to predict formation thickness when the thickness is smaller than a quarter of the wavelength.However,these two attributes have a non-linear relationship with formation thickness,and it reduces the quantitative prediction accuracy of sand body thickness.In addition,the function that relates the two attributes to sand body thickness is derived from single sand body wedge model.When it is applied to thin interbed model,the estimation error is inevitable.To solve this problem,a composite seismic attribute composed of amplitude and frequency was proposed in this paper.Firstly,a single sand body wedge model was used to test its precision in sand thickness estimation.Secondly,based on an interbed model superimposed by two sand wedges,the composite seismic attribute was used to estimate the cumulative sand thickness.Finally,the composite seismic attribute was used in real data to estimate the cumulative thickness of thin interbed sand bodies.The results showed that the composite seismic attribute not only improves the estimation accuracy of single thin sand body thickness,but also can be applied to the quantitative prediction of the cumulative thickness of thin interbed sand bodies.

Shale gas is a kind of unconventional natural gas.The prediction of shale “sweet spots” with high TOC,high brittleness and developed fractures between wells is always an important step in shale gas exploration and development in the regions with few wells.The target shale formation in Block W in Western Canada Basin is relatively thin (the maximal seismic reflection time is 20ms),and contains multiple thin limestone interlayers (0.5~3m).There are overlapping intervals between the P-wave impedances of brittle shales and ductile mudstones.It is difficult to predict shale sweet spots and thin limestone interbeds using seismic data.In this paper,a rock physics template for evaluating shale “sweet spots” was established based on the analysis on the rock-physical elastic parameters,and the elastic characteristics of shale “sweet spots” and interbeds were clarified.The 3D lithology-constrained pre-stack geostatistical inversion technique was used to predict the shale with high TOC and high brittleness,as well as limestone interbeds.Firstly,the rock physics parameters of the shale reservoir were analyzed.The prospective shale objectives have low Poisson’s ratio,median Young’s modulus,high TOC and high brittleness,while the limestone interbeds have high Poisson’s ratio,high Young’s modulus,low TOC and high density.Secondly,1D constrained geostatistical inversion was applied to predict and test the parameters of prospective shale area and interbeds.Thirdly,3D constrained prestack geostatistical inversion was applied to predict prospective shale area and interbeds.The results showed that the overlapping areas of high-TOC and high-brittleness shale and developed fractures are the target shale “sweet spots”.The developed shale “sweet spots” area with thin limestone interbeds are chosen as the prospecting well location area,in order to ensure a high probability that horizontal well drills to high-quality reservoirs with high gas production..

In order to study the evolution process of the troughs in the central fault depression belt in Hailaer-Tamuchage Basin and its control on effective source rock distribution,Tanan Sag was chosen as the target area.Based on 3D seismic interpretation data,fault throw-distance curves,the fault throw-depth curves,the stratigraphic sedimentary characteristics of trough section and the characteristics of transverse anticline between troughs of the major boundary faults were analyzed.The maximum fault throw back-stripping method was applied to restore the evolution history of faults,thus ancient trough distribution was defined,and the structural evolution law of troughs in Tanan Sag was discussed.Combined with the achievements of former researchers,the control of the troughs on effective source rock distribution was studied.The following conclusions were drawn.Based on the fault throw-depth curves and growth indexes,the active periods of the major boundary faults in Tanan Sag were determined,and the stratigraphic deposition periods of the upper part of Nantun1 Formation and the Nantun2 Formation were determined as the main evolution periods of troughs.Combined with the major boundary fault growth mechanisms (isolated fault growth mechanism and fault segmentation growth connection mechanism),the trough evolution model in Tanan Sag were divided into two patterns:troughs controlled by isolated fault and troughs controlled by segmental growth faults.According to the different trough evolution patterns,the through-controlled distribution of hydrocarbon source rocks was divided into two patterns:source rocks controlled by isolated troughs and sources rocks controlled by segmental growth troughs.Meanwhile,the activity of the major boundary faults controlled the formation of the accommodation space and evolution of effective source rocks.According to the oil and gas distribution and vertical oil-bearing area in Tanan Sag,the oil-bearing zones distribute like “potatos” horizontally in the effective source rock distribution area and along the major boundary faults,and mainly distribute in Nantun Formation and Tongbomiao Formation vertically.

Mud invasion and formation anisotropy can cause the separation of array laterolog curves with different investigation depths.The curve separation is the key to the inversion of formation parameters.Based on 3D finite element method(3D-FEM),the array laterolog responses in anisotropic formation with mud invasion were simulated and the affection of anisotropy,mud invasion,wellbore deviation and surrounding rock on the curve separation was studied.The following conclusions were drawn.①In vertical wells,array laterolog curves are mainly affected by the resistivity along bedding direction.With the increment of stratigraphic dip angle,the contribution of vertical resistity increases.In infinite thick anisotropic formation,there is a negative separation among the curves (RLA1~RLA5) with different investigation depths,when the angle is small.When the angle is large,the separation is positive.The critical angle is around 60°.②The influence of mud invasion on curve separation is obviously greater than that of anisotropy.③For anisotropic reservoirs with mud invasion,the difference characteristics among the curves with different investigation depths are messy,which makes it difficult to identify reservoir fluids (oil or water) using the differences among the curves.④For isotropic formations with layered mud invasion,the curve separation degree decreases with the increment of well deviation angle,affected by low-resistivity surrounding rocks.When the mud invasion is not deep (0.1~0.4m),the curve separation degree increases with the increment of well deviation angle.The achievements of the study on array laterolog responses in anisotropic formation with mud invasion have referential significance for data processing and reservoir evaluation.

Gravity exploration blocks are often irregular,which causes the vacancy in the acquired gravity data.Before the processing and transformation of gravity data in wavenumber domain,the original data must be interpolated and processed with edge padding.High-frequency noise in gravity data is the main factor which causes the instability in later processing.Conventional gravity data processing generally performs interpolation,denoising and edge padding independently.These three issues were considered integrally,and an iterative method for simultaneous interpolation,denoising and edge padding of gravity data based on the projection onto convex sets was proposed.Firstly,the final cutoff wavenumber of the iterative method was determined through calculating and fitting the radial average power spectrum of the gravity data.Secondly,interpolation,edge padding and denoising were applied to gravidy data using the spectrum with the wavenumber lower than the cutoff wavenumber,until the preset iteration number was reached.Theoretical gravity model test and the application in real isostatic gravity data acquired in Afghanistan showed that the method proposed is simple theoretically and convenient to be applied.The splicing of the interpolation and edge padding results is smooth without distortion,and the method achieved good interpolation and denoising effect.The results of the method proposed in this paper are better,compared with those of the conventional joint processing method based on minimum curvature,Kriging interpolation,wavelet denosing and cosine edge padding.

Small subdomain filtering(SSF) is widely used for picking anomaly boundaries of gravity data,but the method could make anomaly curve distorted because of the unreasonable subdomain division.In this paper,the subdomain division pattern of SSF was improved to reflect the structures with diffe-rent strikes.Moreover,a stable anomaly-enhanced filtering method based on iterative differential was proposed to solve the problem that small subdomain filtering is easily affected by high-frequency disturbance and enhance anomaly boundary identification.Compared with the conventional SSF,in model tests,the improved SSF of enhanced anomaly is more stable,and the detected edges are more consistent with boundaries of field sources.In the application to the gravity data of Yalu River Basin,the improved SSF of enhanced anomaly output more detailed results than conventional SSF.The detected boundaries match lithologic contact zones well,and the negative value area can generally reflect the distribution of low-density rocks in research area.It demonstrated the effectiveness and practicability of the method proposed in this paper,and the results facilitate coalfield exploration and geological-geophysical comprehensive interpretation.

Due to the high non-linearity of the magnetotelluric(MT) data inversion,conventional global optimization algorithms converge slowly and easily to local optimum.To solve this problem,an improved cuckoo search(ICS) algorithm combined with simplex method was proposed in this paper to realize MT data inversion.For cuckoo search(CS) algorithm is advantageous in exploration but dis-advantageous in development,the global optimal solution in particle swarm optimization was introduced to improve the local search performance.Simplex method was also used to improve the bird’s nest,in order to enhance optimization precision further.The inversion results of theoretical model and real data demonstrated that ICS has higher stability,faster convergence rate and higher accuracy than CS.

It’s an important way to improve the resolution of the gravity,magnetic and electromagnetic exploration to apply the constrained and joint inversion of electromagnetic and gravity data using the known seismic,geological and logging data.The joint inversion in this study is mainly based on the relationship between resistivity and density by logging data statistics.Nonlinear artificial fish swarm inversion algorithm and parallel design were used,combined with the constraints of priori information such as logging data,seismic and geological interpretation sections,to realize the parallel joint inversion of magnetotelluric(MT) and gravity data,and the resolution of MT and gravity data was improved.The inversion results of model and field data demonstrated the feasibility of the proposed nonlinear constrained joint inversion.
