As the world's population continues to grow and economies develop, there will be a commensurate need for additional energy supply that is sustainable and that can be acquired while respecting the environment. The Middle East, home to some of the world's largest oil and gas reserves, is one of the most important regions globally for energy production and exports. Countries such as Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates are key players in the global oil market, while Qatar is a major exporter of liquified natural gas. Fossil fuels will continue to play a major role in the region's — and the world's — energy mix for the foreseeable future, but there is growing interest in developing renewable energy sources such as solar, wind power, and geothermal.
随着世界人口的持续增长和经济的发展,将相应地需要可持续的、可以在尊重环境的情况下获得的额外能源供应。中东拥有世界上最大的石油和天然气储量,是全球能源生产和出口最重要的地区之一。沙特阿拉伯和阿拉伯联合酋长国等国是全球石油市场的关键参与者,而卡塔尔是液化天然气的主要出口国。在可预见的未来,化石燃料将继续在该地区和世界的能源结构中发挥重要作用,但人们对开发太阳能、风能和地热能等可再生能源越来越感兴趣。

Full-waveform inversion (FWI) has been widely used on 3D data sets to build detailed velocity models over the past 10 years. Most of these projects used pressure data and an acoustic approximation, with the assumption that the field data were dominated with P-waves. This approach of FWI can determine parameters related to the acoustic wave equation. It focuses on updating velocities by minimizing the misfit between observed and model data. Acoustic FWI, using the pressure component of collected data, has shown tremendous potential in simple geologic settings. Successful FWI projects, using wide-azimuth streamer, ocean bottom, and land survey geometries, have convinced the oil industry to pursue the next step by involving more physical properties. However, questions remain on how far we can properly describe field data with the acoustic approximation and at what point we need to switch to a much more expensive elastic wave equation implementation. In a complicated geologic region such as the Gulf of Mexico (GoM), the seismic wavefield can be complex and elastic FWI is needed to achieve a better velocity model, even when using mostly pressure data alone. We demonstrate the application of elastic FWI on sparse-node ocean-bottom-node data from the GoM and show comparisons to the acoustic solution. The comparisons demonstrate the benefits of the elastic FWI implementation when applied to image steeply dipping Miocene sands beneath a complex salt canopy, despite the increased computational expense. Furthermore, we demonstrate that when elastic FWI is applied to sufficiently high frequencies, the FWI-derived reflectivity product and velocity model are reliable interpretation products.
近10年来,全波形反演(FWI)在三维数据集上被广泛应用于建立详细的速度模型。这些项目大多使用压力数据和声学近似,并假设现场数据以纵波为主。该方法可以确定与声波方程相关的参数。它侧重于通过最小化观测数据和模型数据之间的不匹配来更新速度。声波FWI利用所收集数据的压力分量,在简单的地质环境中显示出巨大的潜力。成功的FWI项目使用了宽方位角拖缆、海底和陆地测量几何形状,使石油行业确信下一步将涉及更多的物理性质。然而,问题仍然存在,我们可以在多大程度上用声学近似来正确描述现场数据,以及在什么时候我们需要切换到更昂贵的弹性波动方程实现。在墨西哥湾(GoM)等复杂的地质区域,地震波场可能很复杂,即使仅使用压力数据,也需要弹性FWI来获得更好的速度模型。我们演示了弹性FWI在墨西哥湾海底节点稀疏数据上的应用,并与声学解决方案进行了比较。对比表明,弹性FWI应用于复杂盐层下中新世急倾斜砂岩成像时,尽管计算成本增加,但仍具有优势。此外,我们还证明,当弹性FWI应用于足够高的频率时,FWI推导的反射率乘积和速度模型是可靠的解释产品。

Solving Mad Dog subsalt imaging in two decades: From WATS to OBN to elastic FWI 二十年来解决疯狗盐下成像:从WATS到OBN再到弹性FWI

The Gulf of Mexico (GoM) is one of the most prolific oil and gas producing provinces in the world. The Mad Dog Field, like many large deepwater fields in the GoM, is subsalt. The geometric complexity of the overlying salt causes extremely variable image quality of the strata beneath the salt. Improving the seismic image has been critical for field development, and a tremendous amount of effort has been expended over the years to solve this problem. Over the past two decades, data acquisition has evolved from narrow-azimuth towed streamer to wide-azimuth streamer, and finally to ocean-bottom nodes. Processing methods such as using different anisotropic velocity models of increasing complexity, exhaustive iterations of salt modeling, acoustic full-waveform inversion, and most recently elastic full-waveform inversion have been applied. Dozens of wells have been drilled at Mad Dog guided by the resulting seismic images, and many acquisition and processing learnings have been acquired and implemented over this period to optimize the imaging. This paper explores the techniques that have caused major uplift to subsalt imaging and some techniques that were of only minor impact, while giving a glimpse into the imaging history of one of the GoM's giant fields.
墨西哥湾(GoM)是世界上最多产的石油和天然气生产省份之一。与墨西哥湾的许多大型深水油田一样,Mad Dog油田位于盐下。上覆盐层的几何复杂性导致盐层下地层的图像质量变化极大。改善地震图像对油田开发至关重要,多年来一直在努力解决这一问题。在过去的二十年中,数据采集已经从窄方位角拖曳拖缆发展到宽方位角拖缆,最后发展到海底节点。处理方法包括使用日益复杂的不同各向异性速度模型、盐建模的穷穷迭代、声波全波形反演以及最近的弹性全波形反演。在得到的地震图像的指导下,Mad Dog已经钻了数十口井,并在此期间获得并实施了许多采集和处理学习,以优化成像。本文探讨了对盐下成像产生重大影响的技术和一些影响较小的技术,同时对墨西哥湾一个大油田的成像历史进行了一瞥。

Atlantis — 20 years of seismic innovation finally removes the shroud of mystery 亚特兰蒂斯- 20年的地震创新终于揭开了神秘的面纱

The Atlantis Field has gone through more than two decades of continuous seismic imaging efforts, during which time many innovative technologies were incubated, the most recent one being the successful application of full-waveform inversion (FWI) in salt environments. This technique led to a significant improvement in the subsalt image. However, imaging challenges remain for the Atlantis reservoirs, primarily due to the complex overburden salt geometries and the highly compartmentalized reservoir. Even with an improved velocity model from FWI, the conventional reverse time migration (RTM) images still suffer from illumination issues and contain strong migration swings that hinder the subsalt imaging and subsequent interpretations. Furthermore, early versions of FWI employed an acoustic assumption, leading to visible salt halos at the salt boundaries in the velocity model, which adversely impacted the reservoir imaging. In the last 12 months, elastic time-lag FWI (TLFWI) and FWI-derived reflectivity (FDR) imaging using long-offset ocean-bottom node data have minimized these imaging issues at Atlantis, providing another step change in subsalt understanding. Although the 3D RTM images using the elastic FWI velocity model are similar overall to their acoustic counterparts, the 4D time-lapse RTM images at Atlantis show noticeable improvements. Furthermore, FDR images derived from elastic FWI velocities show obvious benefits over the acoustic ones. With a more accurate modeling engine that allows for better match between synthetic and real data, FDR imaging shows improved illumination, higher signal-to-noise ratio, and better reservoir details over acoustic FDR imaging. This recent advancement in using elastic TLFWI has had immediate positive effects in facilitating the Atlantis Field's current and future development.
亚特兰蒂斯油田经历了20多年的地震成像工作,在此期间孕育了许多创新技术,最近的一项成功应用是全波形反演(FWI)在盐环境中的应用。该技术显著改善了盐下图像。然而,亚特兰蒂斯储层的成像仍然存在挑战,主要是由于复杂的上覆盐几何形状和高度分隔的储层。即使使用了FWI改进的速度模型,传统的逆时偏移(RTM)图像仍然存在光照问题,并且包含强烈的偏移波动,这阻碍了盐下成像和随后的解释。此外,早期版本的FWI采用了声学假设,导致速度模型中盐边界处可见盐晕,这对储层成像产生了不利影响。在过去的12个月里,使用长偏移量海底节点数据的弹性滞后FWI (TLFWI)和FWI衍生反射率(FDR)成像技术将亚特兰蒂斯的这些成像问题降至最低,为盐下理解提供了又一个台阶。尽管使用弹性FWI速度模型的3D RTM图像总体上与声学图像相似,但亚特兰蒂斯的4D延时RTM图像显示出明显的改进。此外,从弹性FWI速度获得的FDR图像比声学图像显示出明显的优势。与声学FDR成像相比,FDR成像具有更精确的建模引擎,可以更好地匹配合成数据和真实数据,从而显示出更好的照明、更高的信噪比和更好的储层细节。弹性TLFWI的最新进展对亚特兰蒂斯油田当前和未来的开发产生了直接的积极影响。

Interpreting salt bodies in the Gulf of Mexico (GoM) can be complex due to various factors affecting the accuracy of automated techniques. Variability of salt structures, seismic acquisition parameters, and imaging algorithms can impact the resulting seismic image. These differences can result in variations in seismic resolution and texture, making it challenging to develop automated interpretation techniques that are accurate and reliable for identifying salt bodies in the GoM. However, using seismic images with similar acquisition parameters and processing methods minimizes these differences and makes machine-learning (ML) models applicable. Utilizing nine data sets from the eastern GoM, a nine-fold cross-validation technique was applied to measure the generalization performance of the ML model. This method involves using one data set as the test set and the remaining eight for training and repeating the process for all subsets. We further applied an ensemble of the nine models to predict salt on a new unseen survey in Green Canyon. The study aimed to illustrate how salt variability and morphology in the GoM can impact the ability of the ML algorithm to predict salt bodies on unseen data.
由于影响自动化技术准确性的各种因素,解释墨西哥湾(GoM)的盐体可能很复杂。盐结构、地震采集参数和成像算法的可变性会影响生成的地震图像。这些差异可能导致地震分辨率和质地的变化,这使得开发准确可靠的自动解释技术来识别GoM中的盐体具有挑战性。然而,使用具有相似采集参数和处理方法的地震图像可以最大限度地减少这些差异,并使机器学习(ML)模型适用。利用来自东部GoM的九个数据集,应用九重交叉验证技术来测量ML模型的泛化性能。该方法包括使用一个数据集作为测试集,其余八个数据集用于训练,并对所有子集重复该过程。我们在绿峡谷的一项新的未知调查中进一步应用了九个模型的集合来预测盐。该研究旨在说明GoM中的盐变异性和形态如何影响ML算法在看不见的数据上预测盐体的能力。

Since the first offshore well was drilled there in 1938, the Gulf of Mexico (GoM) has been one of the world's most exciting and prolific oil-producing basins. Evolving seismic and production technology has kept it an active and vibrant basin for almost a century. The original offshore seismic used short streamers and dynamite sources; these evolved to ever-longer streamers, greater numbers of channels, and much more environmentally sensitive air guns to acquire huge amounts of 2D data. The Miocene trends closer to shore were largely developed with this, and bright spot technology in the 1960s and 1970s guided and allowed the rapid development of the prolific Plio-Pleistocene gas fields near the edge of the shelf.

The Miocene trends closer to shore were largely developed with this, and bright spot technology in the 1960s and 1970s guided and allowed the rapid development of the prolific Plio-Pleistocene gas fields near the edge of the shelf.","PeriodicalId":35661,"journal":{"name":"Leading Edge","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47512426","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In earth science, integrating noninvasive continuous data streams with discrete invasive measurements remains an open challenge. We address such a problem — that of predicting whole-core mineralogy using discrete measurements with the help of machine learning. Our targets are sparsely sampled mineralogy from X-ray diffraction, and features are continually sampled elemental oxides from X-ray fluorescence. Both data sets are acquired on a core cut from a Mississippian-age mixed siliciclastic-carbonate formation in the U.S. midcontinent. The novelty lies in predicting multiple classes of output targets from input features in a small multidimensional data setting. Our workflow has three salient aspects. First, it shows how single-output models are more effective in relating selective target-feature subsets than using a multi-output model for simultaneously relating the entire target-feature set. Specifically, we adopt a competitive ensemble strategy comprising three classes of regression algorithms — elastic net (linear regression), XGBoost (tree-based), and feedforward neural networks (nonlinear regression). Second, it shows that feature selection and engineering, when done using statistical relationships within the data set and domain knowledge, can significantly improve target predictability. Third, it incorporates k-fold cross-validation and grid-search-based parameter tuning to predict targets within 4%–6% accuracy using 40% training data. Results open doors to generating a wealth of information in energy, environmental, and climate sciences where remotely sensed data are inexpensive and abundant but physical sampling may be limited due to analytic, logistic, or economic issues.
在地球科学中,将非侵入性连续数据流与离散侵入性测量相结合仍然是一个开放的挑战。我们解决了这样一个问题-在机器学习的帮助下使用离散测量来预测整个岩心矿物学。我们的目标是来自x射线衍射的稀疏采样矿物学,特征是来自x射线荧光的连续采样元素氧化物。这两组数据都是在美国中部一个密西西比时代的混合硅-塑料-碳酸盐地层的岩心上获得的。新颖之处在于从一个小的多维数据集的输入特征预测多个类别的输出目标。我们的工作流有三个突出的方面。首先,它展示了单输出模型如何在关联选择性目标特征子集方面比使用多输出模型同时关联整个目标特征集更有效。具体来说,我们采用了一种竞争性集成策略,包括三类回归算法——弹性网络(线性回归)、XGBoost(基于树的)和前馈神经网络(非线性回归)。其次,它表明,当使用数据集和领域知识中的统计关系进行特征选择和工程时,可以显着提高目标的可预测性。第三,结合k-fold交叉验证和基于网格搜索的参数调优,使用40%的训练数据预测目标,准确率在4%-6%之间。研究结果为能源、环境和气候科学领域产生丰富的信息打开了大门,在这些领域,遥感数据既便宜又丰富,但由于分析、物流或经济问题,物理采样可能受到限制。
