Multiple elimination has always been a key, challenge, and hotspot in the field of hydrocarbon exploration. However, each multiple elimination method comes with one or more limitations at present. The efficiency and success of each approach strongly depend on their corresponding prior assumptions, in particular for seismic data acquired from complex geological regions. The multiple elimination approach using deep learning encodes the input seismic data to multiple levels of abstraction and decodes those levels to reconstruct the primaries without multiples. In this study, we employ a classic convolution neural network (CNN) with a U-shaped architecture which uses extremely few seismic data for end-to-end training, strongly increasing the neural network speed. Then, we apply the trained network to predict all seismic data, which solves the problem of difficult elimination of global multiples, avoids the regularization of seismic data, and reduces massive amounts of calculation in traditional methods. Several synthetic and field experiments are conducted to validate the advantages of the trained network model. The results indicate that the model has the powerful generalization ability and high calculation efficiency for removing surface-related multiples and internal multiples effectively.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
