SUMMARY One of the difficulties in desert seismic data processing is the large spectral overlap between noise and reflected signals. Existing denoising algorithms usually have a negative impact on the resolution and fidelity of seismic data when denoising, which is not conducive to the acquisition of underground structures and lithology related information. Aiming at this problem, we combine traditional method with deep learning, and propose a new feature extraction and denoising strategy based on a convolutional neural network, namely VMDCNN. In addition, we also build a training set using field seismic data and synthetic seismic data to optimize network parameters. The processing results of synthetic seismic records and field seismic records show that the proposed method can effectively suppress the noise that shares the same frequency band with the reflected signals, and the reflected signals have almost no energy loss. The processing results meet the requirements of high signal-to-noise ratio, high resolution and high fidelity for seismic data processing.

Seismic Data Processing

It is important to autopick an event’s arrival time and classify the corresponding phase for seismic data processing. Traditional arrival-time picking algorithms usually need 3C seismograms to classify event phase. However, a large number of borehole seismic data sets are recorded by arrays of hydrophones or distributed acoustic sensing elements whose sensors are 1C and cannot be analyzed for particle motion or phase polarization. With the development of deep learning techniques, researchers have tried data mining with the convolutional neural network (CNN) for seismic phase autopicking. In the previous work, CNN was applied to process 3C seismograms to detect phase and pick arrivals. We have extended this work to process 1C seismic data and focused on two main points. One is the effect of the label vector on the phase detection performance. The other is to propose an architecture to deal with the challenge from the insufficiency of training data in the coverage of different scenarios of [Formula: see text] ratios. Two novel points are summarized after this analysis. First, the width of the label vector can be designed through signal time-frequency analysis. Second, a combination of CNN and recurrent neural network architecture is more suitable for designing a P- and S-phase detector to deal with the challenge from the insufficiency of training data for 1C recordings in time-lapse seismic monitoring. We perform experiments and analysis using synthetic and field time-lapse seismic recordings. The experiments show that it is effective for 1C seismic data processing in time-lapse monitoring surveys.

Blended Data

For economic and efficiency reasons, blended acquisition of seismic data is becoming increasingly commonplace. Seismic deblending methods are computationally demanding and normally consist of multiple processing steps. Furthermore, the process of selecting parameters is not always trivial. Machine-learning-based processing has the potential to significantly reduce processing time and to change the way seismic deblending is carried out. We have developed a data-driven deep-learning-based method for fast and efficient seismic deblending. The blended data are sorted from the common-source to the common-channel domain to transform the character of the blending noise from coherent events to incoherent contributions. A convolutional neural network is designed according to the special characteristics of seismic data and performs deblending with results comparable to those obtained with conventional industry deblending algorithms. To ensure authenticity, the blending was performed numerically and only field seismic data were used, including more than 20,000 training examples. After training and validating the network, seismic deblending can be performed in near real time. Experiments also indicate that the initial signal-to-noise ratio is the major factor controlling the quality of the final deblended result. The network is also demonstrated to be robust and adaptive by using the trained model to first deblend a new data set from a different geologic area with a slightly different delay time setting and second to deblend shots with blending noise in the top part of the record.

The Neural Network

We have developed a novel framework for combining physics-based forward models and neural networks to advance seismic processing and inversion algorithms. Migration is an effective tool in seismic data processing and imaging. Over the years, the scope of these algorithms has broadened; today, migration is a central step in the seismic data processing workflow. However, no single migration technique is suitable for all kinds of data and all styles of acquisition. There is always a compromise on the accuracy, cost, and flexibility of these algorithms. On the other hand, machine-learning algorithms and artificial intelligence methods have been found immensely successful in applications in which big data are available. The applicability of these algorithms is being extensively investigated in scientific disciplines such as exploration geophysics with the goal of reducing exploration and development costs. In this context, we have used a special kind of unsupervised recurrent neural network and its variants, Hopfield neural networks and the Boltzmann machine, to solve the problems of Kirchhoff and reverse time migrations. We use the network to migrate seismic data in a least-squares sense using simulated annealing to globally optimize the cost function of the neural network. The weights and biases of the neural network are derived from the physics-based forward models that are used to generate seismic data. The optimal configuration of the neural network after training corresponds to the minimum energy of the network and thus gives the reflectivity solution of the migration problem. Using synthetic examples, we determine that (1) Hopfield neural networks are fast and efficient and (2) they provide reflectivity images with mitigated migration artifacts and improved spatial resolution. Specifically, the presented approach minimizes the artifacts that arise from limited aperture, low subsurface illumination, coarse sampling, and gaps in the data.

Natural gas hydrate is an important energy source. Therefore, it is extremely important to provide a clear imaging profile to determine its distribution for energy exploration. In view of the problems existing in conventional migration methods, e.g., the limited imaging angles, we proposed to utilize an amplitude-preserved one-way wave equation migration based on matrix decomposition to deal with primary and multiple waves. With respect to seismic data gathered at the Chilean continental margin, a conventional processing flow to obtain seismic records with a high signal-to-noise ratio is introduced. Then, the imaging results of the conventional and amplitude-preserved one-way wave equation migration methods based on primary waves are compared, to demonstrate the necessity of implementing amplitude-preserving migration. Moreover, a simple two-layer model is imaged by using primary and multiple waves, which proves the superiority of multiple waves in imaging compared with primary waves and lays the foundation for further application. For the real data, the imaging sections of primary and multiple waves are compared. We found that multiple waves are able to provide a wider imaging illumination while primary waves fail to illuminate, especially for the imaging of bottom simulating reflections (BSRs), because multiple waves have a longer travelling path and carry more information. By imaging the actual seismic data, we can make a conclusion that the imaging result generated by multiple waves can be viewed as a supplementary for the imaging result of primary waves, and it has some guiding values for further hydrate and in general shallow gas exploration.
