Abstract:
High-precision 3D seismic acquisition has achieved considerable success.However, for complex geological bodies, it is important to develop full-wave field seismic acquisition methods that can adapt to both continuous interface reflection and random medium scattering.There are two difficulties in seismic acquisition.First, there is no single seismic layout that satisfies both the reflection of large dip interfaces and the scattering of small-scale media; thus, the existing field arrays cannot adequately sample the scattered waves.Second, for the scattering of seismic waves generated by small-scale media, existing observation systems cannot satisfy both the lateral resolution and spatial sampling requirements of the minimum medium size; thus, it is impossible to completely sample small-scale media.According to the concept of quantum mechanics, the propagation of underground heterogeneous bodies and seismic waves is considered to constitute a quantum system, and scattered waves are considered probability waves, so that the spatial sampling density is no longer limited.Full-wave field seismic acquisition is a process of obtaining multi-state seismic waves in a balanced manner.Because probability waves cannot be obtained through sparse and regular sampling, probability-wave acquisition must satisfy the ergodicity requirement.It is advisable to adopt common-midpoint gather discretization technology, which is achieved through multiple observation system design and bin subdivision controlled by the trace density.Owing to the weak seismic scattered wave signal and the characteristics of localization and uncertainty, acquisition parameters should be selected, such as a small bin, a small trace spacing, a small spread, high coverage at near-offset, and a local random layout of the shot and receiver.The full-wave field seismic acquisition method is more flexible and can support simultaneous acquisition, multi-phase embedded acquisition, or well site continuous acquisition.The data have richer effective signals, less background noise, and wider frequency bands.This technology is economically acceptable and physically achievable.
