Fine Complex Geological Structure Interpretation Based on Multiscale Seismic Dip Constraint

Abstract

With the development of seismic exploration technology, geological structure interpretation has become more and more refined, whereas random noise interference, subsalt weak seismic reflection signals, and other issues are also gradually emerged at the same time, which resulted in traditional geological structure interpretation accuracy reduction only relying on single seismic data. A novel technical process integrated time-frequency decomposition of seismic data, seismic dip constraints, and geological structure interpretation is proposed in this paper which is named multiscale seismic dip constraint geological structure interpretation. The technical process contains five steps which first use the basis tracking spectrum decomposition technology to convert the seismic data into the time-frequency domain and then decompose the raw seismic data into coarse scale, fine scale, and deliberate scale through window and threshold methods. Subsequently, execute local layer dip calculation with Hilbert transform and geological structure interpretation on seismic data of different scale, respectively. At last, perform geological structure attribute fusion to obtain fine geological structure interpretation. Synthetic data test and field data test show that through multiscale time-frequency decomposition, high-frequency noise interference can be removed and the subsalt seismic weak signal can be enhanced, and then, high-precision fine complex geological structure interpretation can be obtained with seismic dip constraint. Therefore, the technical process proposed in this paper is effective and can be widely applied in the interpretation of field seismic data.

“…At the present time, geological structure interpretation has been improved with the advancement of seismic exploration and interpretation techniques as well as advanced tools that are utilized for seismic and well logs interpretation such as seismic attributes, seismic inversion, lithofacies prediction, cluster analysis approach, reservoir quality prediction, multi-attributes analysis, deep learning, and machine learning. So, multiscale seismic dip constraint geological structure interpretation copes up the issue which integrates time-frequency decomposition of seismic data and geological structure interpretation (Ali et al, 2022;Anees et al, 2022;Hussain et al, 2022;Zhang et al, 2022).…”
