Abstract:

Many previously published wave-equation-based methods, which attempt to automatically invert traveltime or kinematic information in seismic data or migrated gathers for smooth velocities, suffer a common and severe problem — the inversions are involuntarily and unconsciously hijacked by amplitude information. To overcome this problem, we have developed a new wave-equation-based traveltime inversion methodology, referred to as full-traveltime (i.e., fully dependent on traveltime) inversion (FTI), to automatically estimate a kinematically accurate velocity model from seismic data. The key idea o

Abstract:

Quantitative imaging of the elastic properties of the subsurface at depth is essential for civil engineering applications and oil- and gas-reservoir characterization. A realistic synthetic example provides for an assessment of the potential and limits of 2D elastic full-waveform inversion (FWI) of wide-aperture seismic data for recovering high-resolution P- and S-wave velocity models of complex onshore structures. FWI of land data is challenging because of the increased nonlinearity introduced by free-surface effects such as the propagation of surface waves in the heterogeneous near-surface. M

Abstract:

Surface-wave dispersion and the Z/H ratio are important parameters used to resolve the Earth’s structure, especially for S-wave velocity. Several previous studies have explored using joint inversion of these two datasets. However, all of these studies used a 1-D depth-sensitivity kernel, which lacks precision when the structure is laterally heterogeneous. Adjoint tomography (i.e., full-waveform inversion) is a state-of-the-art imaging method with a high resolution. It can obtain better-resolved lithospheric structures beyond the resolving ability of traditional ray-based travel-time tomography

We evaluate the performance of traveltime tomography and full-wave inversion (FWI) for near-surface modeling using the data from a shallow seismic field experiment. Eight boreholes up to 20-m depth have been drilled along the seismic line traverse to verify the accuracy of the P-wave velocity-depth model estimated by seismic inversion. The velocity-depth model of the soil column estimated by traveltime tomography is in good agreement with the borehole data. We used the traveltime tomography model as an initial model and performed FWI. Full-wave acoustic and elastic inversions, however, have fa

Abstract:

Marine reflection seismic data inversion is a compute-intensive process, especially in three dimensions. Approximations often are made to limit the number of physical parameters we invert for, or to speed up the forward modeling. Because the data often are dominated by unconverted P-waves, one popular approximation is to consider the earth as purely acoustic, i.e., no shear modulus. The material density sometimes is taken as a constant. Nonlinear waveform seismic inversion consists of iteratively minimizing the misfit between the amplitudes of the measured and the modeled data.

Abstract Surface wave has many advantages, such as low attenuation, high signal-to-noise ratio, strong anti-interference ability and dispersion characteristics in layered media. It is widely used in engineering measurement and nondestructive testing. However, the applicability and reliability of surface wave processing methods are severely restricted by velocity inversion or strong heterogeneity of the medium.

Abstract:

The convergence of full-waveform inversion can be improved by extending the velocity model along either the subsurface-offset axis or the time-lag axis. The extension of the velocity model along the time-lag axis enables us to linearly model large time shifts caused by velocity perturbations. This linear modeling was based on a new linearization of the scalar wave equation in which perturbation of the extended slowness squared was convolved in time with the second time derivative of the background wavefield. The linearization was accurate for reflected events and transmitted events. We determi

Abstract:

Full-waveform inversion deals with estimating physical properties of the earth’s subsurface by matching simulated to recorded seismic data. Intrinsic attenuation in the medium leads to the dispersion of propagating waves and the absorption of energy — media with this type of rheology are not perfectly elastic. Accounting for that effect is necessary to simulate wave propagation in realistic geologic media, leading to the need to estimate intrinsic attenuation from the seismic data. That increases the complexity of the constitutive laws leading to additional issues related to the ill-posed natu

Abstract:

In acoustic logging, the dipole-mode wave is a type of guided wave that propagates along the borehole, and its dispersion characteristics are typically used to invert the shear-wave velocity of the formation around the borehole. However, traditional dispersion-based inversions rely on the layered model assumption, limiting their applicability to formations that are either uniformly distributed along the borehole axis or exhibit gradual variations. As a method that directly fits observed waveforms, full waveform inversion (FWI) can be applied to various formation models without being constraine

The calculation of the gradient in full-waveform inversion (FWI) usually involves crosscorrelating the forward-propagated source wavefield and the back-propagated data residual wavefield at each time step. In the real earth, propagating waves are typically attenuated due to the viscoelasticity, which results in an attenuated gradient for FWI. Replacing the attenuated true gradient with a [Formula: see text]-compensated gradient can accelerate the convergence rate of the inversion process.

Shear Wave Elastography (SWE) involves estimating mechanical properties through inversion, i.e., matching measured and simulated propagation characteristics of shear waves in the tissue.

SUMMARY The potential of full-waveform inversion (FWI) to recover high-resolution velocity models of the subsurface has been demonstrated in the last decades with its application to field data.

In reflection seismology, full-waveform inversion (FWI) can generate high-wavenumber subsurface velocity models but often suffers from an objective function with local minima caused mainly by the absence of low frequencies in seismograms.

To avoid cycle skipping, we discovered a new wave-equation reflection traveltime inversion (WERTI) to update the low-wavenumber component of the velocity model, while using FWI to only update high-wavenumber details of th

Application of the image condition by crosscorrelation with the source wavefield at each time step produces a 3-D image whose amplitude at each point is proportional to the required velocity update at that point. Convergence to local minima is mitigated against by gradually increasing the wavenu

Abstract:

Estimating subsurface seismic properties is an important topic in civil engineering, oil and gas exploration, and global seismology. We have developed an application of 2D elastic waveform inversion with an active-source on-shore data set, as is typically acquired in exploration seismology on land. The maximum offset is limited to 12 km, and the lowest available frequency is 5 Hz. In such a context, surface waves are generally treated as noise and are removed as a part of data processing. In contrast to the conventional approach, our workflow starts by inverting surface waves to constrain shal

Abstract:

Elastic full-waveform inversion (FWI) is appealing for an enhanced integration of wave physics propagation and the resulting improved characterization of the subsurface due to the reconstruction of P- and S-wave velocity models. While the high computational cost of elastic FWI can be controlled using adequate numerical methods, the increase in the nonlinearity of elastic FWI calls for dedicated strategies to design initial P- and S-wave velocity models and access low-frequency data. We believe that the recent surge in ocean-bottom sensor acquisition is an opportunity to develop such strategies

Abstract:

Full waveform inversion of a p‐τ marine data set from the Gulf of Mexico provides estimates of the long‐wavelength P‐wave background velocity, anisotropic seismic source, and three high‐frequency elastic parameter reflectivities that explain 70% of the total seismic data and 90% of the data in an interval around the gas sand target. The forward simulator is based on a plane‐wave viscoelastic model for P‐wave propagation and primary reflections in a layered earth. Differential semblance optimization, a variant of output least‐squares inversion, successfully estimates the nonlinear P‐wave backgr

Abstract:

Accurate subsurface characterization is vital for hydrocarbon exploration and the energy transition. Full-waveform inversion (FWI) potentially provides a complete data model by fully simulating elastic wave propagation in 3D, but it is computationally demanding. Linear amplitude variation with offset (AVO) inversion is computationally efficient by deploying a 1.5D data model but is limited by simplifying assumptions like primary reflections only. This study introduces elastic wave-equation-based AVO (WEB-AVO), which combines the efficiency of AVO inversion with the physical accuracy of FWI. Ad

Abstract:

Full-waveform inversion (FWI) is a technique used to obtain high-quality velocity models of the subsurface. Despite the elastic nature of the earth, the anisotropic acoustic wave equation is typically used to model wave propagation in FWI. In part, this simplification is essential for being efficient when inverting large 3D data sets, but it has the adverse effect of reducing the accuracy and resolution of the recovered P-wave velocity models, as well as a loss in potential to constrain other physical properties, such as the S-wave velocity given that amplitude information in the observed data

Abstract:

Full-waveform inversion (FWI) of Rayleigh waves is attractive for shallow geotechnical investigations due to the high sensitivity of Rayleigh waves to the S-wave velocity structure of the subsurface. In shallow-seismic field data, the effects of anelastic damping are significant. Dissipation results in a low-pass effect as well as frequency-dependent decay with offset. We found this by comparing recorded waveforms with elastic and viscoelastic wave simulation. The effects of anelastic damping must be considered in FWI of shallow-seismic Rayleigh waves.

Offshore seismic and electromagnetic (EM) imaging for hydrocarbons can require up to tens of millions of parameters to describe the 3D distribution of complex seabed geology and relevant geophysical attributes. The imaging and data volumes for such problems are enormous. Descent-based methods are the only viable imaging approach, where it is often challenging to manage the convergence of stand-alone seismic and EM inversion experiments. When a joint seismic-EM inversion is implemented, convergence problems with descent-based methods are further aggravated. Moreover, resolution mismatches betwe

We have developed a 3D elastic full-waveform inversion (FWI) method for geotechnical site characterization. The method is based on a solution of 3D elastic-wave equations for forward modeling to simulate wave propagation and a local optimization approach based on the adjoint-state method to update the model parameters. The staggered-grid finite-difference technique is used to solve the wave equations together with implementation of the perfectly matched layer condition for boundary truncation.

Abstract:

SUMMARY Full-waveform inversion of shallow seismic wavefields is a promising method to infer multiparameter models of elastic material properties (S-wave velocity, P-wave velocity and mass density) of the shallow subsurface with high resolution. Previous studies used either the refracted Pwaves to reconstructed models of P-wave velocity or the high-amplitude Rayleigh waves to infer the S-wave velocity structure. In this work, we propose a combination of both wavefields using continuous time–frequency windowing. We start with the contribution of refracted P waves and gradually increase the time

Abstract:

Ahead geological prospecting, which can estimate adverse geology ahead of the tunnel face, is necessary in the process of tunnel construction. Due to its long detection range and good recognition effect on the interface, the seismic method is widely used in tunnel ahead prospecting. However, the observation space in tunnels is quite narrow compared to ground seismic prospecting, which leads to some problems in the acquisition of wave velocity, including: the velocity of the direct wave is used to replace the wave velocity of the forward rock approximately; the arrival time information of seism

The method allows to image media velocities of compressional wave and shear wave by using vertical and horizontal components. The forward problem is solved by the finite difference scheme with the perfectly matched layer in the frequency domain. The inversion is an optimization iterative process to minimize the residual between the synthetic data and the observed data on the surface.

SUMMARY The computational cost of elastic-waveform inversion is too high for inverting PP reflections, while using acoustic full-waveform inversion (FWI) is inaccurate because it does not depend on the shear modulus/velocity/impedance that affects elastic PP wavefield amplitudes. To solve this problem, we develop a waveform inversion method that uses acoustic least-squares reverse-time migration (LSRTM) to compensate the shear reflectivity for acoustic FWI. Our method is based on the quasi-elastic-wave equation developed by Chapman et al. (2014). The quasi-elastic-wave equation uses a lineariz
