Abstract

Considering the anisotropy of the earth media is helpful in reducing the depth error between seismic and drilling and providing reliable imaging data for seismic interpretation and inversion. Transversely isotropic media with a vertical axis of symmetry are the most common type of anisotropic media and have been under constant study. The separation of the P- and S-wavefields, which affects the accuracy of elastic wave imaging and the inversion in transversely isotropic media with a vertical axis of symmetry, is a hot research topic. Among the commonly used wavefield decoupling methods, the S-wave is typically obtained by subtracting the P-wave from the total wavefield. However, this kind of wavefield decoupling method often leads to severe P-wave crosstalk in the separated S-wavefield; thus, it needs further development. In this paper, the principle that the divergence of the S-wave is zero is employed to solve the unresolved S-wave elastic parameters of the S-wave stiffness matrix by utilizing the modified zero-order pseudo-Helmholtz decomposition operator. The obtained S-wave elastic parameters are employed to construct the qS-wave stress and facilitate the derivation of the relationship between the qS-wave particle velocity and the qS-wave stress. Furthermore, a qS-wave decoupling first-order velocity–stress equation, which matches the qP-wave decoupling first-order velocity–stress equation, is derived. By jointly using the decoupling equations of qS- and qP-wave, the separation of the P- and S-wavefields in transversely isotropic media with a vertical axis of symmetry is realized. The efficiency of the proposed method is demonstrated via numerical tests conducted to assess the wavefield separation. Moreover, a complex model is employed to perform elastic reverse-time migration, resulting in the acquisition of accurate imaging results for PP, PS, SP, and SS waves, without the presence of significant artefacts. The correctness of the qS-wave decoupling equation in transversely isotropic media with a vertical axis of symmetry is confirmed by the comparative tests using decoupling methods in isotropic media.

横向各向同性介质中波场分离的 qS 波解耦方程
考虑地球介质的各向异性有助于减少地震与钻探之间的深度误差,并为地震解释和反演提供可靠的成像数据。具有垂直对称轴的横向各向同性介质是最常见的各向异性介质类型,一直受到人们的研究。在具有垂直对称轴的横向各向同性介质中,P 波场和 S 波场的分离会影响弹性波成像和反演的精度,是一个热门的研究课题。在常用的波场解耦方法中,S 波通常是通过从总波场中减去 P 波得到的。然而,这种波场去耦方法往往会导致分离出的 S 波场出现严重的 P 波串扰,因此需要进一步发展。本文采用 S 波发散为零的原理,利用修正的零阶伪赫尔姆霍兹分解算子求解 S 波刚度矩阵的未解算 S 波弹性参数。得到的 S 波弹性参数用于构建 qS 波应力,并有助于推导 qS 波粒子速度与 qS 波应力之间的关系。此外,还推导出了与 qP 波解耦一阶速度-应力方程相匹配的 qS 波解耦一阶速度-应力方程。通过联合使用 qS 波和 qP 波的解耦方程,实现了垂直对称轴横向各向同性介质中 P 波场和 S 波场的分离。通过评估波场分离的数值测试,证明了所提方法的效率。此外,还采用了一个复杂的模型来进行弹性反向时间迁移,从而获得了 PP、PS、SP 和 SS 波的精确成像结果,且没有出现明显的伪影。通过在各向同性介质中使用解耦方法进行对比测试,证实了 qS 波解耦方程在垂直对称轴横向各向同性介质中的正确性。

期刊介绍: Geophysical Prospecting publishes the best in primary research on the science of geophysics as it applies to the exploration, evaluation and extraction of earth resources. Drawing heavily on contributions from researchers in the oil and mineral exploration industries, the journal has a very practical slant. Although the journal provides a valuable forum for communication among workers in these fields, it is also ideally suited to researchers in academic geophysics.
