With an increasing demand for high-resolution imaging of complex subsurface structures, thin layers and hidden reservoirs, borehole and cross-well seismic migration methods have become important. However, large differences are observed in the frequency bandwidth between the surface, borehole, and cross-well surveys. Thus, variable-gridbased algorithms have been adapted to reverse-time migration. Further, we introduce Lanczos filtering to ensure the stability of wavefield calculations as well as to decrease the artificial reflections that are caused due to the variable grid size. Finally, we observe that the application of this method to surface survey, borehole, and cross-well seismic data suggests improvements in the delineation of minor fractures and steeply dipping faults. 相似文献

P-wave and S-wave data acquired with vertical seismic profiling (VSP) often include tube waves propagating in the borehole, although considerable efforts are generally made to ensure that these waves are not recorded. However, several theoretical studies have indicated that tube waves could provide important information about the rock formation and thus should not be considered as pure noise. In order to study some of these aspects experimentally, tube waves were acquired by VSP in a well in the Paris Basin both before and after casing. A sparker was used as source inside the borehole, which ensured that the data recorded contained high-amplitude tube waves. It is shown that the casing is an obstacle which prevents the study of formation parameters, and thus further tube-wave acquisitions should be carried out in open holes only. The before-casing tube-wave reflection log is compared to a synthetic log computed from the sonic log. The high resolution of the tube waves is of particular interest, revealing layers that are too thin to be detected in body-wave surveys. It has recently been suggested that the projection of the tube-wave polarization in the horizontal plane can be used to determine directions of stress-induced anisotropy in the rock formation. Strong polarization anomalies are observed in the data sets but are attributed to tool problems rather than any rock-formation feature. 相似文献

Previous studies of radiation from point sources in fluid-filled boreholes have most often been based on far-field, stationary phase analysis. In these papers, the explicit contribution of the borehole itself acting as a waveguide has not been properly considered, with a few exceptions. In general, these studies accurately describe S-wave radiation in high-velocity rocks such as granites and limestones and P-wave radiation in most rocks, and experiments have confirmed this. However, tube waves directly influence the external wavefield and in fact create a shear-wave ‘wake’ outside the borehole due to constructive interference of tube-wave emission if a velocity condition is met. This constructive interference or wake is generated when the tube-wave velocity is greater than the shear-wave velocity. When this happens, a tube-wave complex pole invalidates the mathematical assumptions for stationary phase analysis and the stationary phase predictions do not agree with experimentally derived radiation patterns. Shales at shallow depths and other soft sediments characteristically have tube-wave velocities greater than shear-wave velocities. Because the tube-wave is of relatively high amplitude compared to body waves generated directly by the source, these secondary shear waves can be the highest amplitude arrivals on receiver arrays. The shape and properties of these secondary shear waves are calculated and shown to have identical properties to Mach waves of aerodynamics and seismology. For instance, these waves are geometrically conical and the aperture of the cone and the moveout velocity can be calculated. This paper also demonstrates the important effect that casing has on the Mach waves and provides predictions about when these waves are likely to be observed. Finally, evidence of Mach waves in data sets is examined and it is shown how these waves have been confused with receiver borehole tube waves. It is possible, though rare, that the tube-wave velocity of the borehole is greater than the compressional-wave velocity of the surrounding medium. In this case secondary compressional or compressional Mach waves would be generated although this problem is not addressed here. 相似文献

数值计算了四极子声源在含钻铤竖直向横向各向同性(VTI)地层井孔中产生的各种模式波的频散曲线、激发幅度以及对各地层、钻铤参数的灵敏度,合成了四极子阵列波形,研究了快、慢速地层井孔中地层各向异性的存在对四极子波场的影响.数值计算结果表明,地层各向异性对钻铤波的影响很小,对于地层波的影响较大,且影响因素非常复杂.仅在一些特殊的频率点处,地层模式波的控制因素相对较为简单,如螺旋波的截止频率处.在慢速地层井孔中,最低阶的地层四极子波对距离井壁约2个井孔半径内的地层有明显的响应,可以对该范围内的地层横波进行层析成像.在快速地层井孔条件下,可以考虑采用与横波到时相同的波包来评价地层横波信息.该波包包含了井孔折射横波、F1和F2模式与井孔折射横波速度相接近的部分;利用该波包获得的地层横波速度基本不受地层各向异性的影响.在慢速地层情况下,螺旋波受地层各向异性的影响较大,建议在实际数据处理时,考虑采用基于数据的处理方法进行频散校正. 相似文献

Both approximate and exact formulations for the interaction of an incident elastic wave with a cased borehole are presented. In the approximate method, simple and explicit formulae are derived for the pressure in fluid at low frequencies. In the exact method, elastic potentials in each annulus are represented as a superposition of fundamental solutions to the Helmholtz equations. Continuity of displacements and stresses across layer boundaries are used to determine unknown coefficients. A global matrix algorithm is employed to compute simultaneously these coefficients in individual layers. Calculations show that, in cased boreholes, the borehole effects on downhole seismic measurements are more significant than in open boreholes. A strong resonance occurs in the fluid for SV-wave incidence from a soft formation. This resonance is prominent even at very high frequencies because the tube-wave velocity is raised well above the formation shear velocity by the steel pipe. At a particular angle of incidence of a plane P-wave, the pressure in the fluid is near zero at low frequencies (the cased borehole screening phenomenon). For hard formations and frequencies above 1 kHz, the cased borehole influence on a downhole geophone measurement is significant, especially at grazing incidence. For soft formations, both the pressure in the fluid and the solid displacement on the borehole wall show strong dependence on frequency and angle of incidence, even at low frequencies. 相似文献

We present the results of a seismic interferometry experiment in a shallow cased borehole. The experiment is an initial study for subsequent borehole seismic surveys in an instrumented well site, where we plan to test other surface/borehole seismic techniques. The purpose of this application is to improve the knowledge of the reflectivity sequence and to verify the potential of the seismic interferometry approach to retrieve high‐frequency signals in the single well geometry, overcoming the loss and attenuation effects introduced by the overburden. We used a walkaway vertical seismic profile (VSP) geometry with a seismic vibrator to generate polarized vertical and horizontal components along a surface seismic line and an array of 3C geophones cemented outside the casing. The recorded traces are processed to obtain virtual sources in the borehole and to simulate single‐well gathers with a variable source‐receiver offset in the vertical array. We compare the results obtained by processing the field data with synthetic signals calculated by numerical simulation and analyse the signal bandwidth and amplitude versus offset to evaluate near‐field effects in the virtual signals. The application provides direct and reflected signals with improved bandwidth after vibrator signal deconvolution. Clear reflections are detected in the virtual seismic sections in agreement with the geology and other surface and borehole seismic data recorded with conventional seismic exploration techniques. 相似文献

In dealing with the problem of large amplitude multiple reflections arising from a hard water-bottom, it has been found that the use of extended source array techniques resulted in a considerably better penetration than that obtained using either computer simulated long arrays or the conventional air-gun array systems. The purpose of this paper is to use the concept of the array directivity factor in discussing the reason for the improvement in penetration achieved by using extended marine source arrays. Examples are given showing that the low frequency power radiated within the so called “penetration window” can be increased by a factor of two by choosing the correct spacing of the point sources forming the extended array. It is concluded that to ensure that most of the low frequency energy is concentrated within the penetration window to achieve deep penetration, a source array with spacing comparable with the wavelength is required. 相似文献

A technique for automatic cross-well tomography based on semblance and differential semblance optimization is presented. Given a background velocity, the recorded seismic data traces are back-propagated towards the source, i.e. shifted towards time zero using the modelled traveltime between the source and the receiver and corrected for the geometrical spreading. Therefore each back-propagated trace should be a pulse, close to time zero. The mismatches between the back-propagated traces indicate an error in the velocity model. This error can be measured by stacking the back-propagated traces (semblance optimization) or by computing the norm of the difference between adjacent traces (differential semblance optimization).
It is known from surface seismic reflection tomography that both the semblance and differential semblance functional have good convexity properties, although the differential semblance functional is believed to have a larger basin of attraction (region of convergence) around the true velocity model. In the case of the cross-well transmission tomography described in this paper, similar properties are found for these functionals.
The implementation of this automatic method for cross-well tomography is based on the high-frequency approximation to wave propagation. The wavefronts are constructed using a ray-tracing algorithm. The gradient of the cost function is computed by the adjoint-state technique, which has the same complexity as the computation of the functional. This provides an efficient algorithm to invert cross-well data. The method is applied to a synthetic data set to demonstrate its efficacy. 相似文献

This study investigates the generation of the low-frequency borehole Stoneley wave (tube wave) by a plane P-wave propagating through the surrounding elastic formation, which is intersected by a fluid-filled fracture. A model is constructed taking into account the dynamic fluid coupling between the borehole interior and the fluid-filled fracture of infinite extent with parallel walls. The basic mechanism of such coupling is due to the contraction of the fracture walls by the incident P-wave, leading to seismic radiation into the fracture. The dynamic fluid flux from the fracture into the borehole interior, and vice versa, is the source of the low-frequency Stoneley wave. An expression for the monopole pressure source, exciting the tube wave, is obtained. The tube-wave equation in the long-wave approximation is derived in the presence of a fluid-filled fracture of infinite extent. Amplitudes and waveforms of Stoneley waves are analysed in the seismic wavelength range for P-wave pulses of various shapes. It is shown that the amplitude and waveform of the Stoneley wave depends significantly on the two dimensionless parameters of the problem: (1) the ratio of the borehole radius to the dominant wavelength of the incident pulse; (2) the ratio of the fracture width to the borehole radius. It is found that the amplitude of the generated Stoneley wave can be of the order of the P-wave amplitude in the borehole fluid. Stoneley waveforms are found to be completely different from those of the incident pulse. 相似文献

Modern optimization approaches for electrode configurations can significantly improve the resolution of 2.5D resistivity imaging surveys. This study presents a brief review of the 2.5D optimization approach, particularly for borehole–borehole surveys with applications for mapping virtual CO2 plumes sequestrated in deep saline reservoir formations. The applied algorithm searches for arrays that maximize the spatial resolution of the survey among the comprehensive dataset of best possible spatial resolution (i.e. least temporal resolution). A main goal of this study is to increase the temporal resolution of ERT borehole–borehole surveys by selecting optimized electrode configurations in order to minimise the required data acquisition time while sustaining a high spatial resolution. The optimized dataset starts with a base set and is iteratively increased based on the model resolution matrix (R ) until the required number of data points is achieved. Among four different optimization methods, the compare R (CR) method of the best resolution is applied to directly calculate R for each new array added to the optimized dataset. Small optimized datasets generated by this technique are only <5% of their comprehensive sets but of an average resolution ratio (R r) of >0.95 (i.e. almost the same resolution). With increasing the size of the optimized dataset (during its generation), the algorithm progressively enhances R r values in the central interwell region (of low sensitivities and low resolution) far higher than in the near borehole region (of high sensitivities). Also the inverted tomogram reliability increases by increasing the optimized data size. Briefly, the optimized arrays improve the resolution in the interwell region which is commonly low in borehole–borehole ERT studies. The inverted output model is evaluated quantitatively using the model difference relative to the input model. The results reflect the common smearing effects and artefacts of varying degrees that overpredict volumes, underpredict magnitudes and blur boundaries of the target anomalies. This input model is a synthetic resistivity model that was used to generate synthetic (forward solution) data used during the inversion. Applications on synthetic CO2 models show that the mapping resolution for optimized datasets is better than that for other highly resolving arrays of the same number of data points. Problems of smeared boundaries and thin layers are less visible in the optimized array than in the other highly resolving arrays. 相似文献

Multichannel filtering to obtain wavefield separation has been used in seismic processing for decades and has become an essential component in VSP and cross-well reflection imaging. The need for good multichannel wavefield separation filters is acute in borehole seismic imaging techniques such as VSP and cross-well reflection imaging, where strong interfering arrivals such as tube waves, shear conversions, multiples, direct arrivals and guided waves can overlap temporally with desired arrivals. We investigate the effects of preprocessing (alignment and equalization) on the quality of cross-well reflection imaging wavefield separation and we show that the choice of the multichannel filter and filter parameters is critical to the wavefield separation of cross-well data (median filters, f–k pie-slice filters, eigenvector filters). We show that spatial aliasing creates situations where the application of purely spatial filters (median filters) will create notches in the frequency spectrum of the desired reflection arrival. Eigenvector filters allow us to work past the limits of aliasing, but these kinds of filter are strongly dependent on the ratio of undesired to desired signal amplitude. On the basis of these observations, we developed a new type of multichannel filter that combined the best characteristics of spatial filters and eigenvector filters. We call this filter a ‘constrained eigenvector filter’. We use two real data sets of cross-well seismic experiments with small and large well spacing to evaluate the effects of these factors on the quality of cross-well wavefield separation. We apply median filters, f–k pie-slice filters and constrained eigenvector filters in multiple domains available for these data sets (common-source, common-receiver, common-offset and common-midpoint gathers). We show that the results of applying the constrained eigenvector filter to the entire cross-well data set are superior to both the spatial and standard eigenvector filter results. 相似文献

微地震事件初至拾取是井下微地震监测数据处理的关键步骤之一.初至误差的存在会使微地震震源定位结果产生较大偏差,进而影响后续的压裂裂缝解释.通常初至拾取过程对所有的微地震事件选择相同的特征函数并采用一致的拾取参数进行统一处理,然而当事件的能量、震源机制、传播路径以及背景噪声等存在明显差异时,所得初至拾取结果差别显著.为了提高微地震事件初至拾取标准一致性,本文提出基于波形相似特征的初至拾取及全局校正方法.该方法首先利用互相关函数对每个事件内的各道记录进行时差校正,得到初始初至信息并形成叠加道,再对所有事件的叠加道进行全局互相关得到事件间初至相对校正量,最终初至结果可以通过各个事件的初始初至信息与其相对校正量相加得到.方法将所有微地震事件初至结果作为一个整体处理,从而能够克服常规方法初至拾取标准一致性差的缺陷.实际资料处理结果表明,相比于常规方法,该方法可以有效提高事件初至拾取和定位结果的一致性. 相似文献

In an attempt to assess the feasibility of a future programme of seismic reflection profiling to investigate major structural features deep within the crust of Britain, existing commercial offshore data across shallow basement have been investigated together with lines on land, fired conventionally with explosives, in which record lengths have been extended to at least 12 s two-way time. Profiles crossing Lewisian basement, a granite batholith, and Caledonian and Variscan structures have been examined. The seismic information has been combined with gravity and magnetic surveys, bore-hole logs and surface geology to give self-consistent interpretational models. Features such as intrusive bodies and thrust faults can be discerned within the basement. These are clearly visible on the seismic record section obtained along the MOIST line, fired along the north coast of Scotland especially for deep reflections, and, for the first time, normal-incidence reflections from the Moho are clearly observed. 相似文献

Mis-ties are all-too-common results of seismic surveys made at the same place but at different times with different equipment or by different organizations. Even after removal of positioning or polarity errors, reflection times often appear to differ by several tens of milliseconds. Zero time appears to fluctuate. How can zero time differ on surveys with only minor differences in acquisition or processing? What can be done to identify the true zero time for each survey? The first step toward establishing zero time is to record the source pulse. It is well-known that the different sources currently used in reflection seismic prospecting (propane-oxygen explosions, compressed-air discharges, explosives, steam bubbles, mechanical implosions, vibrations, etc.) yield different pressure wavefronts as the input to the seismic reflection system. By recording this wavefront we capture the basic pulse shape and we establish the initial time delay. The second step is to process the recorded source pulse as if it were reflection data to establish the additional time and shape changes introduced by data processing. Then, display the recorded and processed source pulse as an auxiliary variable at the ends of the seismic section. From this display the interpreter can systematically establish the time shifts appropriate to each picked event. He can determine also whether the pick should be a peak or a trough. He can see why surveys which appear to tie for shallow reflections appear to mis-tie for deep reflections. The display of the processed source pulse constitutes a major interpretation aid which, in a readily useable form, increases the information content of the basic seismic section. 相似文献

反射波场分离是井孔地震资料处理中极其重要的一个环节,波场分离的质量直接影响成像结果的精度.不管是VSP还是井间地震资料,其反射波时距曲线都近似直线型,根据这一特征,本文提出一种改进的线性Radon变换方法来进行井孔资料的反射波上下行波场分离.该方法基于频率域线性Radon变换,通过引入一个新的变量λ来消除变换算子对频率的依赖性,避免了求取每一频率分量对应的不同变换算子,显著降低了计算成本;文中在求解该方法对应的最小二乘问题时,引入了发展较为成熟的高分辨率Radon变换技术来进一步提高波场分离的精度.采用本文方法进行井孔地震资料的上下行波场分离可以在保证分离精度的前提下有效地提高计算效率.根据上下行波在λ-f域内分布的特殊性,设计简单的滤波算子就可实现上下行波场的分离.最后通过合成数据试算以及实际资料处理（VSP数据和井间地震数据）验证了该方法的可行性和有效性. 相似文献

A field study was undertaken to evaluate the effectiveness of the high frequency seismic reflection technique for mapping of shallow and irregular bedrock. Bedrock reflections were obtained using a hammer source with both in-line and common offset field layouts. The recording equipment included 12-channel enhancement seismographs, 28 Hz vertical geo-phones and a microcomputer. The latter increased the overall versatility of the seismic system. Field sites for this study are typical of the geological settings of the tin mining areas of Malaysia. The topographical ‘lows’ of the irregular bedrock control the localization of tin ore. The subsurface geology consists of a thin low velocity layer (± 300 m/s) overlying the compact overburden (± 1700 m/s) which in turn lies on bedrock. This paper discusses various criteria for designing an optimum window for obtaining usable reflections between the first arrival and the leading edge of the ground roll cone. Detailed mapping of the overburden and the bedrock interface by the reflection method can be useful in delineating areas for exploratory drilling and for optimum planning of mining operations. 相似文献
