Abstract:

Local earthquake activity can be employed to measure attenuation (the effective quality factor [Q]) and characterize production in the Delaware Basin, Texas, USA. To illustrate this, we employed data from the recently installed Texas Seismic Network (TexNet) seismic stations collected in the west Texas area between April 2017 and March 2018. Earthquake activity in the Delaware Basin has increased in comparison to the previous 20 years, which has resulted in numerous high-quality events suitable for this analysis. The high signal-to-noise ratio events were used to estimate effective Q factors using the peak frequency method on the sediments of the Delaware Basin. The effective attenuation of the sedimentary basin is 90 for P-waves and 140 for S-waves (both with uncertainty of approximately 30), indicating an unusually low attenuation (high Q) for S-waves relative to the P-waves. This is consistent with attenuation of a saturated sedimentary basin because the saturation results in less attenuation of S-waves. Additionally, we observe an increase of the effective Q factor with distance between the station and events consistent with rays sampling the deeper, less-attenuating, and less-saturated portions of the basin and even basement. Inverted effective attenuation coefficients were used to calculate moment magnitudes, which were consistent with those seen in the TexNet array.

Abstract:

Paleogene basalts are present over much of the northeastern Atlantic European margin. In regions containing significant thicknesses of layered basalt flows, conducting seismic imaging within and beneath the volcanic section has proven difficult, largely because the basalts severely attenuate and scatter seismic energy. We use data from a vertical seismic profile (VSP) from well 164/07-1 that penetrated [Formula: see text] of basalt in the northern Rockall Trough west of Britain to measure the seismic attenuation caused by the in-situ basalts. The effective quality factor [Formula: see text] of the basalt layer is found from the VSP to be 15–35, which is considerably lower (more attenuative) than the intrinsic attenuation measured on basalt samples in the laboratory. We then run synthetic seismogram models to investigate the likely cause of the attenuation. Full waveform 1D modeling of stacked sequences of lava flows based on rock properties from the same well indicates that much of the seismic attenuation observed from the VSP can be accounted for by the scattering effects of multiple thin layers with high impedance contrasts. Phase-screen seismic modeling of the rugose basalt surface at the top-of-basalt sediment interface, with the magnitude and wavelength of the relief constrained by a 3D seismic survey around the well, suggests that surface scattering from this interface plays a much smaller role than internal scattering in attenuating the seismic signal as it passes through the basalt sequence.

Abstract:

Seismic attenuation distorts phase and narrows bandwidth in seismic surveys. It is also an exploration attribute, as, for example, gas or overpressure, may create attenuation anomalies. Compensating attenuation in imaging requires accurate models. Detailed attenuation models may be obtained using full-waveform inversion (FWI) or attenuation tomography, but their accuracy benefits from reliable starting models and/or constraints. Seismic attenuation and velocity dispersion are necessarily linked for causal linear wave propagation such that higher frequencies travel faster than lower frequencies in an attenuative medium. In publicly released well data from the Norwegian North Sea, we have observed systematic positive linear trends in check-shot drift when comparing (lower frequency) time-depth curves with (higher frequency) integrated sonic transit times. We observe velocity dispersion consistent with layers having constant seismic attenuation. Adapting a previously published method, and assuming an attenuation-dispersion relationship, we use drift gradients, measured over thick stratigraphic units, to estimate interval P-wave attenuation and tentatively interpret its variation in terms of porosity and fluid mobility. Reflectivity modeling predicts a very low attenuation contribution from peg-leg multiples. We use the attenuation values to develop a simple regional relationship between P-wave velocity and attenuation. Observed low drift gradients in some shallower units lead to an arch-shaped model that predicts low attenuation at both low and high velocities. The attenuation estimates were broadly comparable with published effective attenuation values obtained independently nearby. This general methodology for quickly deriving a regional velocity-attenuation relationship could be used anywhere that coincident velocity models are available at seismic and sonic frequencies. Such relationships can be used for fast derivation (from velocities) of starting attenuation models for FWI or tomography, constraining or linking velocity and attenuation in inversion, deriving models for attenuation compensation in time processing, or deriving background trends in screening for attenuation anomalies in exploration.

Abstract:

SUMMARY Estimating subsurface attenuation distribution is essential to compensate the amplitude and phase distortions in seismic imaging and characterize attenuative reservoirs. Full-waveform inversion (FWI) methods represent promising techniques to invert for both velocity and attenuation models with arbitrary spatial distributions. However, simultaneously determining velocity and attenuation properties introduces the problem of interparameter trade-off in viscoelastic FWI. Ignoring attenuation effects can result in inaccurate velocity estimations. Velocity errors may produce significant parameter crosstalk artefacts in the inverted attenuation models. An appropriate misfit function measuring specific seismic attribute is essential to capture the influence of attenuation on the seismic data and thus is expected to reduce the influences of velocity errors for attenuation estimation. In this study, we evaluate the performances of different misfit functions for attenuation estimation in viscoelastic FWI accompanied with a two-stage sequential inversion strategy. Synthetic examples with different acquisition surveys are given to show that in the presence of strong velocity errors, the amplitude-based misfit functions, including envelope-difference, root-mean-square amplitude-ratio and spectral amplitude-ratio, can invert for the attenuation models more reliably, compared to the waveform-difference and instantaneous phase misfit functions. With the two-stage inversion approach, more reliable velocity and attenuation models can be obtained using viscoelastic FWI.

Abstract:

We have conducted laboratory experiments over the 1–200 Hz band to examine the effects of viscosity and permeability on modulus dispersion and attenuation in sandstones and also to examine the effects of partial gas or oil saturation on velocities and attenuations. Our results have indicated that bulk modulus values with low-viscosity fluids are close to the values predicted using Gassmann’s first equation, but, with increasing frequency and viscosity, the bulk and shear moduli progressively deviate from the values predicted by Gassmann’s equations. The shear moduli increase up to 1 GPa (or approximately 10%) with high-viscosity fluids. The P- and S-wave attenuations ([Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]) and modulus dispersion with different fluids are indicative of stress relaxations that to the first order are scaling with frequency times viscosity. By fitting Cole-Cole distributions to the scaled modulus and attenuation data, we have found that there are similar P-wave, shear and bulk relaxations, and attenuation peaks in each of the five sandstones studied. The modulus defects range from 11% to 15% in Berea sandstone to 16% to 26% in the other sandstones, but these would be reduced at higher confining pressures. The relaxations shift to lower frequencies as the viscosity increased, but they do not show the dependence on permeability predicted by mesoscopic wave-induced fluid flow (WIFF) theories. Results from other experiments having patchy saturation with liquid [Formula: see text] and high-modulus fluids are consistent with mesoscopic WIFF theories. We have concluded that the modulus dispersion and attenuations ([Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]) in saturated sandstones are caused by a pore-scale, local-flow mechanism operating near grain contacts.

Abstract:

Attenuation of seismic waves needs to be taken into account to improve the accuracy of seismic imaging. In viscoacoustic media, reverse time migration (RTM) can be performed with [Formula: see text]-compensation, which is also known as [Formula: see text]-RTM. Least-squares RTM (LSRTM) has also been shown to be able to compensate for attenuation through linearized inversion. However, seismic attenuation may significantly slow down the convergence rate of the least-squares iterative inversion process without proper preconditioning. We have found that incorporating attenuation compensation into LSRTM can improve the speed of convergence in attenuating media, obtaining high-quality images within the first few iterations. Based on the low-rank one-step seismic modeling operator in viscoacoustic media, we have derived its adjoint operator using nonstationary filtering theory. The proposed forward and adjoint operators can be efficiently applied to propagate viscoacoustic waves and to implement attenuation compensation. Recognizing that, in viscoacoustic media, the wave-equation Hessian may become ill-conditioned, we propose to precondition LSRTM with [Formula: see text]-compensated RTM. Numerical examples showed that the preconditioned [Formula: see text]-LSRTM method has a significantly faster convergence rate than LSRTM and thus is preferable for practical applications.

Abstract:

SUMMARY Based on an attenuation model, we first express frequency-dependent P- and S-wave attenuation factors as a function of P-wave maximum attenuation factor, and then we re-express P- and S-wave velocities in anelastic media and derive frequency-dependent stiffness parameters in terms of P-wave maximum attenuation factor. Using the derived stiffness parameters, we propose frequency-dependent reflection coefficient in terms of P- and S-wave moduli at critical frequency and P-wave maximum attenuation factor for the case of an interface separating two attenuating media. Based on the derived reflection coefficient, we establish an approach to utilize different frequency components of observed seismic data to estimate elastic properties (P- and S-wave moduli and density) and attenuation factor, and following a Bayesian framework, we construct the objective function and an iterative method is employed to solve the inversion problem. Tests on synthetic data confirm that the proposed approach makes a stable and robust estimation of unknown parameters in the case of seismic data containing a moderate noise/error. Applying the proposed approach to a real data set illustrates that a reliable attenuation factor is obtained from observed seismic data, and the ability of distinguishing oil-bearing reservoirs is improved combining the estimated elastic properties and P-wave attenuation factor.

Abstract:

Low frequency volcanic earthquakes, characterised by slowly decaying harmonic codas of 0.5-5Hz, have been observed on many volcanoes and are considered key tools in monitoring and eruption forecasting. The common element in a variety of models proposed for the origin of these earthquakes is resonance of a fluid body within a volcanic edifice. The source of the resonance is believed to consist of dispersive interface waves, trapped at the fluid-solid boundaries. The amplitude decay or attenuation of these earthquake signals can be decomposed into radiative and intrinsic components, and in this way yield information about both the geometry and fluid properties of the resonating source body. This thesis presents a study of the attenuation of low-frequency volcanic earthquakes, with particular emphasis on quantitatively linking seismic signals to magmatic processes and properties. The effect of the intrinsic attenuation of the fluid on the amplitude decay of low-frequency volcanic earthquakes is examined using a viscoelastic finite-difference model of seismic wave propagation. It is shown that the viscosity of the fluid contributes 23.6±2.26% less than previously thought to the apparent attenuation, and that its effect may have been substantially overestimated in previous studies. A physical explanation for this lies in understanding the fundamental differences between acoustic and interface waves. An analytical approach demonstrates that, for a set of realistic volcanic parameters, interface waves can be attenuated less than acoustic waves in a pure melt, if the longitudinal viscosity is at least 107 Pas. These results widen the set of possible resonators and imply that resonating volcanic conduits filled with high viscosity magma are viable sources for low-frequency seismicity. An automated method to measure the apparent attenuation of seismic signals is developed, tested, and applied to a dataset of low-frequency earthquakes from Soufri`ere Hills Volcano, Montserrat. Temporal trends in attenuation are observed and quantitatively interpreted as changes in magma viscosity. An estimate of the magma shear viscosity of 2.3 ± 2 × 105 Pas is obtained, demonstrating the ability of seismological data to place constraints on the magma properties.

Abstract:

Anelasticity and inhomogeneity in the Earth decreases the energy and modifies the frequency of seismic waves as they travel through the Earth. This phenomenon is known as seismic attenuation. The associated physical process leads to amplitude diminution, waveform distortion and phase delay. The level of attenuation a wave experiences depends on the degree of anelasticity and the scale of inhomgeneity in the rocks it passes through. Therefore, attenuation is sensitive to the presence of fluids, degree of saturation, porosity, fault, pressure, and the mineral content of the rocks. The work presented in this thesis covers attenuation measurements in seismic data; estimation of P- and S-wave attenuation in recorded well logs; attenuation analysis for pore fluid determination; and attenuation compensation in seismic data. Where applicable, a set of 3D seismic data or well logs recorded in the Gullfaks field, North Sea, Norway, is used to test the methods developed in the thesis. A new method for determining attenuation in reflection seismic data is presented. The inversion process comprises two key stages: computation of centroid frequency for the seismic signal corresponding to the top and base of the layer being investigated, using variable window length and fast Fourier transform; and estimation of the difference in centroid frequency and traveltime for the paired seismic signals. The use of a shape factor in the mathematical model allows several wavelet shapes to be used to represent a real seismic signal. When applied to synthetic data, results show that the method can provide reliable estimates of attenuation using any of the wavelet shapes commonly assumed for a real seismic signal. Tested against two published methods of quality factor (Q) measurement, the new method shows less sensitivity to interference from noise and change of frequency bandwidth. The method is also applied to seismic data recorded in the Gullfaks field. The trace length is divided into four intervals: AB, BC, CD, and DE. The mean attenuation (1/Q_m) calculated in intervals AB, BC, CD, and DE are 0.0196, 0.0573, 0.0389, and 0.0220, respectively. Results of attenuation measurements using the new method and the classical spectral ratio method (Bath 1974, Spencer et al, 1982) are in close agreement, and they show that interval BC and AB have the highest and lowest value of attenuation, respectively. One of the applications of Q measured in seismic records is its usage for attenuation compensation. To compensate for the effects of attenuation in recorded seismograms, I propose a Q-compensation algorithm using a recursive inverse Q-filtering scheme. The time varying inverse Q-filter has a Fourier integral representation in which the directions of the up-going and down-going waves are reversed. To overcome the instability problem of conventional inverse Q-filters, wave numbers are replaced with slownesses, and the compensation scheme is applied in a layer-by-layer recursive manner. When tested with synthetic and field seismograms, results show that the algorithm is appropriate for correcting energy dissipation and waveform distortion caused by attenuation. In comparison with the original seismograms, the Q-compensated seismograms show higher frequencies and amplitudes, and better resolved images of subsurface reflectors. Compressional and shear wave inverse quality factors (Q_P^(-1) and Q_S^(-1)) are estimated in the rocks penetrated by well A-10 of the Gullfaks field. The results indicate that the P-wave inverse quality factor is generally higher in hydrocarbon-saturated rocks than in brine-saturated rocks, but the S-wave inverse quality factor does not show a dependence on fluid content. The range of the ratio of Q_P^(-1) to Q_S^(-1) measured in gas, water and oil-saturated sands are 0.56 – 0.78, 0.39 – 0.55, and 0.35 – 0.41, respectively. A cross analysis of the ratio of P-wave to S-wave inverse quality factors, (Q_P^(-1))/(Q_S^(-1) ), with the ratio of P-wave to S-wave velocities, V_P/V_S , clearly distinguishes gas sand from water sand, and water sand from oil sand. Gas sand is characterised by the highest (Q_P^(-1))/(Q_S^(-1) ) and the lowest V_P/V_S ; oil sand is characterised by the lowest (Q_P^(-1))/(Q_S^(-1) ) and the highest V_P/V_S ; and water sand is characterized by the V_P/V_S and (Q_P^(-1))/(Q_S^(-1) ) values between those of the gas and oil sands. The signatures of the bulk modulus, Lame’s first parameter, and the compressional modulus (a hybrid of bulk and shear modulus) show sensitivities to both the pore fluid and rock mineral matrix. These moduli provided a preliminary identification for rock intervals saturated with different fluids. Finally, the possibility of using attenuation measured in seismic data to monitor saturation in hydrocarbon reservoirs is studied using synthetic time-lapse seismograms, and a theoretical rock physics forward modelling approach. The theory of modulus-frequency-dispersion is applied to compute a theoretical curve that describes the dynamic effects of saturation on attenuation. The attenuation measured in synthetic time-lapse seismograms is input to the theoretical curve to invert the saturation that gave rise to the attenuation. Findings from the study show that attenuation measured in recorded seismograms can be used to monitor reservoir saturation, if a relationship between seismogram-derived attenuation and saturation is known. The study also shows that attenuation depends on other material properties of rocks. For the case studied, at a saturation of 0.7, a 10% reduction in porosity caused a 5.9% rise in attenuation, while a 10% reduction in the bulk modulus of the saturating fluids caused an 11% reduction in attenuation.

Abstract:

Reflection seismology is widely used to map the subsurface geological structure of the Earth. Seismic multiples can contaminate seismic data and are therefore due to be removed. For seismic multiple attenuation, wave-equation based methods are proved to be effective in most cases, which involve two aspects: multiple prediction and multiple subtraction. Targets of both aspects are to develop and apply a fully datadriven algorithm for multiple prediction, and a robust technique for multiple subtraction. Based on many schemes developed by others regarding to the targets, this thesis addresses and tackles the problems of wave-equation based seismic multiple attenuation by several approaches. First, the issue of multiple attenuation in land seismic data is discussed. Multiple Prediction through Inversion (MPTI) method is expanded to be applied in the poststack domain and in the CMP domain to handle the land data with low S/N ratio, irregular geometry and missing traces. A running smooth filter and an adaptive threshold K-NN (nearest neighbours) filter are proposed to help to employ MPTI on land data in the shot domain. Secondly, the result of multiple attenuation depends much upon the effectiveness of the adaptive subtraction. The expanded multi-channel matching (EMCM) filter is proved to be effective. In this thesis, several strategies are discussed to improve the result of EMCM. Among them, to model and subtract the multiples according to their orders is proved to be practical in enhancing the effect of EMCM, and a masking filter is adopted to preserve the energy of primaries. Moreover, an iterative application of EMCM is proposed to give the optimized result. Thirdly, with the limitation of current 3D seismic acquisition geometries, the sampling in the crossline direction is sparse. This seriously affects the application of the 3D multiple attenuation. To tackle the problem, a new approach which applies a trajectory stacking Radon transform along with the energy spectrum is proposed in this thesis. It can replace the time-consuming time-domain sparse inversion with similar effectiveness and much higher efficiency. Parallel computing is discussed in the thesis so as to enhance the efficiency of the strategies. The Message-Passing Interface (MPI) environment is implemented in most of the algorithms mentioned above and greatly improves the efficiency.

Abstract:

There have been relatively few investigations into the attenuation properties of unconsolidated sediments using marine surface seismic data. Several methods of measuring attenuation were assessed for reliability in a noise-free case and with the addition of noise using a set of synthetically absorbed and dispersed wavelets. Wavelet modelling proved to be superior to the other techniques, followed by spectrum modelling and the spectral ratios method. Complex trace analysis using the analytical signal proved to be unreliable for non-sinusoidal wavelets, whilst the risetime method was found to be very susceptible to noise for practical purposes. Numerical modelling was carried out to assess the spectral effects of layering on a propagating pulse. The thin layer / peg-leg phenomenon has varying filtering effects on the propagating pulse. In particular, layers which are less than the "tuning thickness" of the propagating pulse have a low-pass effect. The quality factor, Q, was measured in two case studies. In the first, the mean Q was determined from wavelet and spectrum modelling and found to be 60 for fine sands and 47 for coarse sands in the 1 kHz to 3 kHz frequency band. In the second, Q was determined as 59 for poorly sorted sandy diamicts in the 100 Hz to 240 Hz frequency band. The close fit between synthesised spectra and wavelets and observed data showed that a constant- Q mechanism would account for the spectral changes between the seabed and the deeper target reflection events in the two case studies. The spectra of the target reflection events in both case studies were lacking in low frequencies which is likely to be due to low-pass filtering from composite reflection events due to thin bed layering. For practical purposes, the determination of Q from a mean normalised seismic trace yielded the same result as measuring a mean Q from individual traces. In a third case study, the seabed multiple was compared to the seabed reflection using wavelet and spectrum modelling. A lack of low frequencies in the seabed multiple showed that the seabed can act as a low-pass filter to an incident pulse. As the numerical methods rely on the seabed as having a white reflection and transmission response, the low-pass effect will result in erroneous estimates of the quality factor, Q.
