چکیده

In reflection seismology, knowing the seismic wavelet is important both for processing seismic data and for modeling the seismic response. There are two approaches to obtain the seismic wavelet. One approach is deterministic and the other is statistic. This work belongs to the second category. A seismic wavelet is determined by the product of amplitude spectrum and phase spectrum. A conventional method uses a two-step procedure to estimate the seismic wavelet. The first step is for the amplitude spectrum, and the second step is for the phase spectrum. So extracting the amplitude spectrum of a seismic wavelet (ASSW) from the amplitude spectrum of a seismic trace is a key step. The commonly used methods are correlation-based method, the log-spectrum-averaging method and spectrum-shaping method. All these methods assume the reflection coefficient sequence is white, which may not be valid under some conditions. In this paper, we propose a new approach to obtain ASSW without the whiteness assumption about reflectivity. We define an operator on a properly chosen function space and prove that the operator is contractive in this space. Then, we convert the problem of estimating the ASSW into one of finding the fixed point of the operator. We give the algorithm in detail based on the J Gao et al Printed in the UK 085005 INPEEY © 2017 IOP Publishing Ltd 33 Inverse Problems

Proposing New Methods to Enhance the Low-Resolution Simulated GPR Responses in the Frequency and Wavelet Domains

To date, a number of numerical methods, including the popular Finite-Difference Time Domain (FDTD) technique, have been proposed to simulate Ground-Penetrating Radar (GPR) responses. Despite having a number of advantages, the finite-difference method also has pitfalls such as being very time consuming in simulating the most common case of media with high dielectric permittivity, causing the for...

A RELIABILITY APPROACH TO COMPARE OPTIMAL SEISMIC DESIGNS OF MULTIPLE-TUNED-MASS-DAMPER

Passive systems are preferred tools for seismic control of buildings challenged by probabilistic nature of the input excitation. However, other types of uncertainty still exist in parameters of the control device even when optimally tuned. The present work concerns optimal design of multiple-tuned-mass-damper embedded on a shear building by a number of meta-heuristics. They include well-known g...

Comparing Geostatistical Seismic Inversion Based on Spectral Simulation with Deterministic Inversion: A Case Study

Seismic inversion is a method that extracts acoustic impedance data from the seismic traces. Source wavelets are band-limited, and thus seismic traces do not contain low and high frequency information. Therefore, there is a serious problem when the deterministic seismic inversion is applied to real data and the result of deterministic inversion is smooth. Low frequency component is obtained fro...

Automatic Phase Detection in Seismic Data using the Discrete Wavelet Transform

Seismic data consist of traces, which contain information about a seismic event, but in some period of time the traces may be just noise. A trace which contains seismic information, is called a seismic signal. Seismic signals consist of several typically short energy bursts, called phases, exhibiting several patterns in terms of dominant frequency, amplitude and polarisation. Amongst others, a ...

Support Vector Machine Based Facies Classification Using Seismic Attributes in an Oil Field of Iran

Seismic facies analysis (SFA) aims to classify similar seismic traces based on amplitude, phase, frequency, and other seismic attributes. SFA has proven useful in interpreting seismic data, allowing significant information on subsurface geological structures to be extracted. While facies analysis has been widely investigated through unsupervised-classification-based studies, there are few cases...
