Joint Imaging of Primary and Multiple Reflections for Rvsp: Real Data Example

چکیده

Seismic imaging for RVSP or drill-bit data recorded for deviated or horizontal wells is a challenging task. Conventional filtering methods such as dip-filtering will fail to separate the primary (upgoing) and multiple (downgoing) reflections because the drill path generates primary and multiple reflections with similar moveout and the same polarity. In this paper, I present a new migration method using both primary and free-surface reflections to image the reflectors below the drill bit. The merit of this method is that it does not require the separation of the primary and multiple reflections. This joint imaging is implemented using the autocorrelogram imaging condition because it can produce a subsurface image without knowing the pilot signal. Additionally, it is also capable of suppressing the static errors at the source or/and receiver positions. I test the sensitivity of joint autocorrelogram migration to velocity and statics shift errors using synthetic data for a 5-layer synthetic model and a source in a horizontal well. Test results on synthetic data show that our method is capable of suppressing spurious interferences and also performs robustly when seismic data are distorted by statics shifts at the source and receiver locations. In the field data example, the joint imaging approach produces better ”look-ahead” image compared with primary autocorrelogram images.

Joint migration of primary and multiple reflections in RVSP data

Seismic imaging for RVSP or drill-bit data recorded for deviated or horizontal wells is a challenging task. Conventional filtering methods such as dip-filtering will fail to separate the primary and multiple (or ghost) reflections because the drill path generates primary and multiple reflections with similar moveout and the same polarity. In this paper, I present a migration method that uses bo...

Report 15 Autocorrelogram Imaging of Friendswood RVSP Data

This report presents the field data test of the improved autocorrelogram method using Friendswood RVSP Data. The improved migration method images the primary reflections, not the ghost reflections. The traces in the original common receiver gathers are autocorrelated after some preliminary processing. We separated the primary reflections from the surface-related ghost-reflections in the autocor...

Progress Report on Crosscorrelogram Migration of Free-Surface Multiples in RVSP Data

According to Schuster and Rickett (2000), a shot gather of crosscorrelograms is partly equivalent to a shot gather of seismic traces, and the reflectivity distribution can be imaged by migrating free-surface multiples in the crosscorrelograms without knowing the source positions. Here, synthetic data and Exxon’s Friendswood data are used to test the feasibility of migrating free-surface multipl...

Report 5 AUTOCORRELOGRAM DEPTH AND TIME MIGRATION FOR RVSP DATA

This report presents the results of applying an improved autocorrelogram migration to Exxon's Friendswood RVSP data. The improved autocorrelogram migration method is implemented in both the depth and time domains. Two imaging conditions are used: a primary re ection imaging condition and a surface-related ghost imaging condition. The raw traces in the common receiver gather domain are autocorre...

Least-squares joint imaging of primaries and multiples

Multiple reflections provide redundant, and sometimes additional, information about the corresponding primary reflections. I implement a least-squares inversion scheme to jointly image (by normal moveout) primaries and multiples, with the goal of enforcing consistency between the images and the input data. Furthermore, to effect noise (“crosstalk”) suppression, I introduce a novel form of model...
