Slowness-domain kinematical characteristics for horizontally layered orthorhombic media. Part II: Pre-critical slowness match     

Zvi Koren  Igor Ravve 《Geophysical Prospecting》2019,67(5):1134-1162

Part II of this paper is a direct continuation of Part I, where we consider the same types of orthorhombic layered media and the same types of pure-mode and converted waves. Like in Part I, the approximations for the slowness-domain kinematical characteristics are obtained by combining power series coefficients in the vicinity of both the normal-incidence ray and an additional wide-angle ray. In Part I, the wide-angle ray was set to be the critical ray (‘critical slowness match’), whereas in Part II we consider a finite long offset associated with a given pre-critical ray (‘pre-critical slowness match’). Unlike the critical slowness match, the approximations in the pre-critical slowness match are valid only within the bounded slowness range; however, the accuracy within the defined range is higher. Moreover, for the pre-critical slowness match, there is no need to distinguish between the high-velocity layer and the other, low-velocity layers. The form of the approximations in both critical and pre-critical slowness matches is the same, where only the wide-angle power series coefficients are different. Comparing the approximated kinematical characteristics with those obtained by exact numerical ray tracing, we demonstrate high accuracy. Furthermore, we show that for all wave types, the accuracy of the pre-critical slowness match is essentially higher than that of the critical slowness match, even for matching slowness values close to the critical slowness. Both approaches can be valuable for implementation, depending on the target offset range and the nature of the subsurface model. The pre-critical slowness match is more accurate for simulating reflection data with conventional offsets. The critical slowness match can be attractive for models with a dominant high-velocity layer, for simulating, for example, refraction events with very long offsets.  相似文献

地层横波波速测量以及各向异性评价是目前随钻声波测井应用及方法研究的难题之一.针对这些问题,本文试图从钻铤上的偏心点声源在各向异性地层中的响应出发,寻求和探讨解决方案.我们基于三维有限差分模拟的随钻测井信号,研究了偏心点声源在水平横向各向同性(HTI)慢速地层井孔中激发声波传播规律,研究结果表明:在HTI地层中偏心点声源能够同时激发出快、慢两种波形,并且此两种波形中主要分别包含快、慢弯曲波,由于与钻铤波的耦合作用,其速度总是分别小于地层快、慢横波波速,所以无法直接用于地层横波波速的测量.但根据进一步的灵敏度分析可知当在3kHz以上时,它们的相速度分别对地层参数水平和垂直剪切模量(c66和c44)最为敏感.基于此特性,本文提出一种基于解析近似解的最小二乘拟合法,能够通过快、慢波频散曲线反演地层横波波速,所测值误差小于3%,并且具有很好的容错率和稳定性;进而由横波速度反演值评价地层各向异性大小.最后,地层快横波偏振方位可以利用垂直于偏心声源方向的偶极采集的信号能量变化曲线来获取.  相似文献

芦俊  石瑛  杨春颖 《地球物理学报》2018,61(8):3310-3323

针对裂缝各向异性介质，本文提出一种非正交假设下的矢量波场分离方法.本文首先对多分量地震勘探中常见的波型泄漏现象进行了数学描述，提出在纵、横波波场分离的同时应该考虑恢复纵、横波的矢量振幅.为了对裂缝方位角与各向异性系数进行定量预测，本文将矢量波场分离拆分成三个步骤来实施：第一步，用Z、R两分量的仿射坐标系变换分离ZR平面内的P波投影与SV波；第二步，用ZR平面内的P波投影与T分量的仿射坐标系变换分离P波与SH波；第三步，用纯净的SV波与SH波的成像剖面分离快慢横波，并预测裂缝发育参数.模型数据与实际数据的试验结果表明，本文提出的纵、横波波场分离方法能够获得完整的矢量振幅信息，并提供裂缝预测的精度.  相似文献   

Study on the Anisotropy of the Underground Medium in Hohhot     

Zhang Hui  Zhai Hao  Han Xiaoming 《中国地震研究》2018,32(1):80-88

In this paper, the data of earthquake events of magnitude M_S6.0 and above produced in Hohhot Seismic Station from 2008 to 2015 and the data of M_L ≥ 1.0 seismic events from 2015 to 2016 in Horinger Seismic Station and the surrounding mobile stations in southern Hohhot are selected. Using Splitlab and SAM software, the spin-correlation method, the least-energy method and the cross-correlation coefficient method are used to analyze the teleseismic and near-seismic phases (SKS, S). The results of this study are in good agreement with the results previously obtained by other researchers. The study of teleseismic SKS splitting reflects the characteristics of the anisotropy of the upper mantle beneath Hohhot, that is, the anisotropy of the upper mantle shows NW, which reflects "fossil" Anisotropy, mainly in the continental structure of stable units and preserves the history of mantle deformation information. The crustal anisotropy reflected by the near-earthquake S-wave splitting study is similar to that of the active fault zone, trending NE as a whole and is consistent with the tectonic stress field background of the northeastern margin of Ordos block.  相似文献

岩石弹性各向异性特征是普遍存在的,但导致岩石弹性各向异性的原因复杂且仍然存在一定争议.本研究以龙马溪页岩为例,试图建立页岩弹性各向异性和矿物分布之间关系.研究使用无损超声波探测获取岩石弹性各向异性参数,并使用背散射技术获取岩石矿物分布特征.研究通过引进变异系数来描述矿物或孔裂隙在不同方向的差异性,并通过2个正交方向的变异系数建立微观异质性指标,用于表征微观尺度上矿物或孔裂隙在不同方向的差异程度.微观背散射图像显示,龙马溪组页岩主要由石英和伊利石构成,且这两种矿物和孔裂隙在X和Y面上都有定向排列特征.相应地,它们的变异系数在X面和Y面上均表现出随角度增大而降低的特征;而在Z面,石英、伊利石和孔裂隙变异系数变化不明显,这与Z面上矿物和孔裂隙无明显方向性的特点一致.无损超声波探测结果显示,波速在X和Y面上随角度增加而减小,这与主要矿物和孔裂隙变异系数变化趋势相同;而在Z面,波速变化不大,与主要矿物和孔裂隙变异系数变化不明显的特征一致.以上观测结果说明,宏观波速与矿物的微观变异系数明显相关,暗示岩石弹性各向异性与矿物分布直接相关.  相似文献   

Lithology-dependent seismic anisotropic amplitude variation with offset correction in transversely isotropic media     

Amir Abbas Babasafari  Deva Prasad Ghosh  Ahmed Mohammed Ahmed Salim  Masoumeh Kordi 《Geophysical Prospecting》2020,68(8):2471-2493

Analysis of amplitude variation with offset is an essential step for reservoir characterization. For an accurate reservoir characterization, the amplitude obtained with an isotropic assumption of the reservoir must be corrected for the anisotropic effects. The objective is seismic anisotropic amplitude correction in an effective medium, and, to this end, values and signs of anisotropic parameter differences (Δδ and Δε) across the reflection interfaces are needed. These parameters can be identified by seismic and well log data. A new technique for anisotropic amplitude correction was developed to modify amplitude changes in seismic data in transversely isotropic media with a vertical axis of symmetry. The results show that characteristics of pre-stack seismic data, that is, amplitude variation with offset gradient, can be potentially related to the sign of anisotropic parameter differences (Δδ and Δε) between two layers of the reflection boundary. The proposed methodology is designed to attain a proper fit between modelled and observed amplitude variation with offset responses, after anisotropic correction, for all possible lithofacies at the reservoir boundary. We first estimate anisotropic parameters, that is, δ and ε, away from the wells through Backus averaging of elastic properties resulted from the first pass of isotropic pre-stack seismic inversion, on input data with no amplitude correction. Next, we estimate the anisotropic parameter differences at reflection interfaces (values and signs of Δδ and Δε). We then generate seismic angle gather data after anisotropic amplitude correction using Rüger's equation for the P-P reflection coefficient. The second pass of isotropic pre-stack seismic inversion is then performed on the amplitude-corrected data, and elastic properties are estimated. Final outcome demonstrates how introduced methodology helps to reduce the uncertainty of elastic property prediction. Pre-stack seismic inversion on amplitude-corrected seismic data results in more accurate elastic property prediction than what can be obtained from non-corrected data. Moreover, a new anisotropy attribute (ν) is presented for improvement of lithology identification.  相似文献

临夏盆地在东亚新生代地层、古气候、古生物研究方面占有举足轻重的地位.本文对盆地东部的郭泥沟剖面进行了详细的岩石磁学和磁组构研究，以揭示从早中新世到早上新世临夏盆地的沉积演化过程.郭泥沟剖面沉积物中的磁性矿物有磁铁矿、磁赤铁矿、赤铁矿和针铁矿，但剩磁载体以磁铁矿和赤铁矿为主.从上庄组和东乡组的褐红色粉砂质粘土到柳树组和何王家组的褐黄色粘土，赤铁矿含量呈现降低的趋势，与沉积物颜色变化一致.郭泥沟剖面沉积物磁组构类型为正常沉积磁组构.结合岩石磁学结果和磁组构参数特征可揭示临夏盆地早中新世-早上新世沉积的演化过程：早中新世上庄组为稳定湖相沉积，古水流方向为NNW，与南北向的大夏河方向一致；中中新世气候发生较明显的干湿波动，形成了东乡组的褐红色湖相粉砂质粘土夹粉砂、砂和青灰色泥灰质粘土条带，古水流方向主要为NNW，沉积过程主要受大夏河控制；中中新世晚期，受青藏高原构造运动影响，沉积相由湖相细粒沉积物转变为虎家梁组河流相砂砾层；同时，盆地的水动力条件也发生改变，晚中新世柳树组湖相沉积过程同时受南北向大夏河和东西向洮河控制，两个方向近垂直的河流共同作用导致柳树组内沉积各向异性度较低，面理和线理均不发育，磁化率最大轴偏角分布比较分散，磁组构确定的古流向为东西向和南北向；早上新世期间，由于受青藏高原隆升影响，沉积了何王家组下部的河流相砂砾层；受构造抬升影响，大夏河重新主导何王家组上部洪泛平原相沉积过程，水动力条件较为单一稳定，古流向主要为N向，与大夏河流向一致.  相似文献   

Modelling of viscoacoustic wave propagation in transversely isotropic media using decoupled fractional Laplacians     

Zhihao Qiao  Chengyu Sun  Jie Tang 《Geophysical Prospecting》2020,68(8):2400-2418

A new wave equation is derived for modelling viscoacoustic wave propagation in transversely isotropic media under acoustic transverse isotropy approximation. The formulas expressed by fractional Laplacian operators can well model the constant-Q (i.e. frequency-independent quality factor) attenuation, anisotropic attenuation, decoupled amplitude loss and velocity dispersion behaviours. The proposed viscoacoustic anisotropic equation can keep consistent velocity and attenuation anisotropy effects with that of qP-wave in the constant-Q viscoelastic anisotropic theory. For numerical simulations, the staggered-grid pseudo-spectral method is implemented to solve the velocity–stress formulation of wave equation in the time domain. The constant fractional-order Laplacian approximation method is used to cope with spatial variable-order fractional Laplacians for efficient modelling in heterogeneous velocity and Q media. Simulation results for a homogeneous model show the decoupling of velocity dispersion and amplitude loss effects of the constant-Q equation, and illustrate the influence of anisotropic attenuation on seismic wavefields. The modelling example of a layered model illustrates the accuracy of the constant fractional-order Laplacian approximation method. Finally, the Hess vertical transversely isotropic model is used to validate the applicability of the formulation and algorithm for heterogeneous media.  相似文献   

Travel time computations using a compact eikonal equation for vertical transverse isotropic media          下载免费PDF全文

Peyman Moghaddam  Reza Khajavi  Henk Keers 《Geophysical Prospecting》2018,66(8):1475-1484

Eikonal solvers often have stability problems if the velocity model is mildly heterogeneous. We derive a stable and compact form of the eikonal equation for P‐wave propagation in vertical transverse isotropic media. The obtained formulation is more compact than other formulations and therefore computationally attractive. We implemented ray shooting for this new equation through a Hamiltonian formalism. Ray tracing based on this new equation is tested on both simple as well as more realistic mildly heterogeneous velocity models. We show through examples that the new equation gives travel times that coincide with the travel time picks from wave equation modelling for anisotropic wave propagation.  相似文献

页岩储层由于其复杂的构造和孔隙特征,目前一般的岩石物理模型无法对其进行精确描述.微纳米孔隙作为页岩气主要的储集空间,对页岩整体弹性参数有较大影响.干酪根作为页岩中重要的有机质矿物,在页岩中的赋存状态随成熟度不同而变化,同时干酪根也是纳米级孔隙的主要发育场所.目前常规的岩石物理建模方法没有体现微纳米孔隙的作用,同时较少考虑不同成熟度下干酪根对页岩储层弹性性质的影响.本文采用一种微纳米孔隙理论描述页岩微纳米孔隙特性,考虑微纳米孔隙和不同成熟度下干酪根的赋存状态,应用上述微纳米孔隙模型、各向异性SCA-DEM模型、各向异性Eshelby-Cheng模型和Brown-Korringa固体替换方程等建立一种新的页岩储层岩石物理模型.利用中国西南某工区页岩气井对该模型进行验证,模型预测的横波速度与测井速度拟合较好.结果表明不同干酪根成熟度的页岩岩石物理建模结果具有一定的差异,据此可大致区分该工区井的干酪根成熟度;最后对微纳米孔参数进行正演分析,结果反映了页岩的纵横波速度随微纳米孔隙参数的变化趋势.  相似文献
