Abstract

Building a reliable S-wave velocity model remains challenging from P-wave land seismic data as multi-parameter elastic full waveform inversion which updates P- and S-wave velocities simultaneously is not yet widely adopted due to its computational cost, highly nonlinear nature and noise contamination from land seismic data. To overcome this challenge, we propose implementing the SH-wave full waveform inversion to obtain the S-wave velocity model. The value of this approach has been examined by applying two-dimensional time-domain SH- and P-wave acoustic full waveform inversion to a nine-component three-dimensional seismic survey acquired in the Midland Basin. The nine-component seismic survey was acquired by using both vertical and horizontal component vibrators and receivers, which enables us to apply both SH- and P-wave full waveform inversion to the raw and preprocessed shot gathers along a two-dimensional line. The SH- and P-wave full waveform inversion applied to the raw shot gathers provide more detailed P- and S-wave velocities compared to the velocities from the stacking velocity analysis. Additionally, there are no problematic artefacts in the inverted S-wave velocity model, which shows the stability of the SH-wave inversion. Through the SH-wave full waveform inversion from the preprocessed shot gathers, we reveal the lateral velocity variations in the Grayburg–San Andres interval, which coincides with the depositional environment changes suggested by the previous regional study mainly based on well log and cores. These variations demonstrate that SH-wave full waveform inversion can identify additional geological features that are not observed in the inverted P-wave velocity model. The inverted P- and SH-wave velocities are validated by the flattening of the events observed in the common image gathers after Kirchhoff depth migration. The SH-wave migration image further reveals the irregular geometries of carbonates in the Spraberry formation. Vp/Vs ratios calculated from the independently inverted P- and S-wave velocity models show strong lateral variations in the Wolfcamp interval (key-producing interval), which could be caused by the organic content variations between the reservoir and non-reservoir rocks. The inversion results demonstrate that the SH-wave full waveform inversion can be used to provide an S-wave velocity model that is comparable to the P-wave velocity model derived from acoustic full waveform inversion, which is widely used for P-wave velocity model building from P-wave land seismic data.

二维 SH 波和声 P 波全波形反演:米德兰盆地案例研究
多参数弹性全波形反演可同时更新 P 波和 S 波速度,但由于其计算成本高、高度非线性以及陆地地震数据的噪声污染等原因,目前尚未被广泛采用。为克服这一难题,我们建议采用 SH 波全波形反演来获取 S 波速度模型。通过将二维时域 SH 波和 P 波声学全波形反演应用于在米德兰盆地获得的九分量三维地震勘探,检验了这种方法的价值。九分量地震勘探是通过使用垂直和水平分量振动器和接收器获得的,这使我们能够对沿二维线的原始和预处理震波集进行 SH 波和 P 波全波形反演。与叠加速度分析得出的速度相比,对原始射电集束进行的 SH 波和 P 波全波形反演可得出更详细的 P 波和 S 波速度。此外,在反演的 S 波速度模型中没有问题伪影,这显示了 SH 波反演的稳定性。通过对预处理后的射孔集束进行 SH 波全波形反演,我们揭示了 Grayburg-San Andres 区间的横向速度变化,这与之前主要基于测井和岩心的区域研究提出的沉积环境变化相吻合。这些变化表明,SH 波全波形反演可以识别出在 P 波速度反演模型中无法观察到的其他地质特征。在基尔霍夫深度迁移后的共同图像采集中观察到的事件扁平化现象验证了反演的 P 波和 SH 波速度。SH 波迁移图像进一步揭示了 Spraberry 地层中碳酸盐岩的不规则几何形状。根据独立反演的 P 波和 S 波速度模型计算得出的 Vp/Vs 比值在 Wolfcamp 区间(主要产状区间)显示出强烈的横向变化,这可能是由于储层和非储层岩石之间的有机物含量变化造成的。反演结果表明,利用 SH 波全波形反演可以得到与声波全波形反演得到的 P 波速度模型相当的 S 波速度模型,而声波全波形反演被广泛用于根据 P 波陆地地震数据建立 P 波速度模型。

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.
