Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Characterization of the near-surface is important in identifying shallow properties and structures. In this dissertation, special emphasis is placed on estimating near-surface shear (S)-wave velocities (V_S) which can be used for exploration seismology as well as geotechnical purposes; and even for planetary studies. A frequency-based surface-wave (Rayleigh-wave or ground-roll) inversion method (MASW: Multichannel Analysis of Surface Waves) has been used to estimate 1D and 2D S-wave velocities. The method has been applied on varied seismic datasets related to numerical modeling, physical modeling, and field surveys. The field seismic datasets are from different geological settings and geographical locations: 1) La Marque, Texas, 2) Barringer (Meteor) Crater, Arizona, 3) YBRA field camp, Montana, 4) Hockley fault survey, Texas, and 5) Bradford, Pennsylvania. Estimated S-wave velocities range from as low as 100-300 m/s (La Marque, Hockley) to as high as 3400-3500 m/s (physical model: blank glass block). For the Meteor Crater survey, an unconsolidated near-surface structure (ejecta-blanket) and its thinning thickness trend (thickness decreasing from 20 m to 5 m) has been successfully identified using 2D V_S structure (400-1200 m/s). The depths of investigation for S-wave velocities vary from only 10 m (Hockley survey) to 180 m (Bradford survey) depending on acquisition geometries and source types. Apart from the identification of geological structures; S-wave velocities have been used to calculate S-wave statics and predict densities. The long-wavelength S-wave statics have been calculated for Bradford and Meteor Crater surveys. The densities have been successfully predicted from V_S for modeling experiments and field data (Bradford and YBRA surveys). All predicted densities are consistent with known values with a maximum error of 6%. The effect of lateral heterogeneity on MASW has also been evaluated using different numerical and physical models (dipping layers varying from 10℗ð to 90℗ð). MASW works well for gentle heterogeneity but provides smeared velocity structures for sharp heterogeneities (physical model experiment and Hockley fault survey). A basic full-waveform inversion scheme has been applied on a numerical model with a vertical interface (i.e. 90℗ð dip) showing its potential to handle lateral heterogeneity problems.

This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seismic site characterization is a critical part of understanding earthquake hazards in geotechnical engineering. This is often accomplished through various invasive and non-invasive methods for measuring shear-wave velocity (Vs) in-situ, as it is directly related to small-strain shear modulus. For civil engineering applications, the seismic conditions of the near surface (top 30 m) are of particular interest. Surface wave testing has become the tool of choice for many engineers due to its flexibility, efficiency, and ability to characterize a wide variety of subsurface conditions. Surface wave testing is also particularly well suited to near-surface imaging due to the prevalence of surface waves within the elastic wavefield at shallow depths. Surface wave testing, however, is not without limitations. Inversion of surface wave dispersion data is ill-posed and non-unique, meaning that when it is performed rigorously with full consideration of epistemic uncertainty, a potentially large number of reasonable and different 1D Vs profiles are produced. This presents a challenge of evaluating which profiles should be used for further analysis or design. Additionally, engineers often desire information about the lateral variability of seismic parameters in the subsurface, but the inherently 1D nature of the processing and inversion techniques used in surface wave testing make acquiring this information challenging. Evaluation of lateral variability is generally accomplished through multiple individual 1D surface wave analyses across the site, providing only pseudo-2D information. This also introduces a new challenge: how to collect the large amount of experimental data required for multiple analyses as the efficiency of traditional surface wave acquisition is limited by the need to physically move geophone arrays with limited numbers of sensors. This dissertation discusses these challenges and presents potential solutions through the application of the DeltaVs method, distributed acoustic sensing, and full waveform inversion

This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Full Waveform Inversion (FWI) is an iterative data fitting procedure between the observed data and the synthetic data. The synthetic data is calculated by solving the wave equation. FWI aims at reconstructing the detailed information of the subsurface physical properties. FWI has been rapidly developed in the past decades, thanks to the increase of the computational capability and the development of the acquisition technology. FWI also has been applied in a broad scales including the global, lithospheric, crustal, and near surface scale.In this manuscript, we investigate the inversion of a multicomponent source and receiver near-surface field dataset using a viscoelastic full waveform inversion algorithm for a shallow seismic target. The target is a trench line buried at approximately 1 m depth. We present the pre-processing of the data, including a matching filter correction to compensate for different source and receiver coupling conditions during the acquisition, as well as a dedicated multi-step workflow for the reconstruction of both P-wave and S-wave velocities. Our implementation is based on viscoelastic modeling using a spectral element discretization to accurately account for the wave propagation's complexity in this shallow region. We illustrate the inversion stability by starting from different initial models, either based on dispersion curve analysis or homogeneous models consistent with first arrivals. We recover similar results in both cases. We also illustrate the importance of taking into account the attenuation by comparing elastic and viscoelastic results. The 3D results make it possible to recover and locate precisely the trench line in terms of interpretation. They also exhibit another trench line structure, in a direction forming an angle at 45 degrees with the direction of the targeted trench line. This new structure had been previously interpreted as an artifact in former 2D inversion results. The archaeological interpretation of this new structure is still a matter of discussion.We also perform three different experiments to study the effect of multicomponent data on this FWI application. The first experiment is a sensitivity kernel analysis of several wave packets (P-wave, S-wave, and surface wave) on a simple 3D model based on a Cartesian based direction of source and receiver. The second experiment is 3D elastic inversion based on synthetic (using cartesian direction's source) and field data (using Galperin source) with various component combinations. Sixteen component combinations are analyzed for each case. In the third experiment, we perform the acquisition's decimation based on the second experiment. We demonstrate a significant benefit of multicomponent data FWI in terms of model and data misfit through those experiments. In a shallow seismic scale, the inversions with the horizontal components give a better depth reconstruction. Based on the acquisition's decimation, inversion using heavily decimated 9C seismic data still produce similar results compared to the inversion using 1C seismic of a dense acquisition.

This book was released on 2021-06-30 with total page 1056 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written for practicing geophysicists, “Land Seismic Case Studies for Near-Surface Modeling and Subsurface Imaging” is a comprehensive guide to understanding and interpreting seismic data. The culmination of land seismic data acquisition and processing projects conducted by the author over the last two decades, this book contains more than nearly 800 figures from worldwide case studies—conducted in both 2D and 3D. Beginning with Chapter 1 on seismic characterization of the near-surface, Chapter 2 presents near-surface modeling by traveltime and full-wave inversion, Chapter 3 presents near-surface modeling by imaging, and then Chapter 4 includes detailed case studies for near-surface modeling. Chapter 5 reviews single- and multichannel signal processing of land seismic data with the key objective of removing surface waves and guided waves that are characterized as coherent linear noise. Uncommon seismic data acquisition methods, including large-offset acquisition in thrust belts to capture the large-amplitude supercritical reflections, swath-line acquisition, and joint PP and SH- SH seismic imaging are highlighted in Chapter 6, and Chapter 7 presents image-based rms velocity estimation and discusses the problem of velocity uncertainty. The final two chapters focus exclusively on case studies: 2D in Chapter 8 and 3D in Chapter 9. An outstanding teaching tool, this book includes analysis workflows containing processing steps designed to solve specific problems. Essential for anyone involved in acquisition, processing, and inversion of seismic data, this volume will become the definitive reference for understanding how the variables in seismic acquisition are directly reflected in the data.

Book excerpt: Recent progress in numerical methods and computer science allows us today to simulate the propagation of seismic waves through realistically heterogeneous Earth models with unprecedented accuracy. Full waveform tomography is a tomographic technique that takes advantage of numerical solutions of the elastic wave equation. The accuracy of the numerical solutions and the exploitation of complete waveform information result in tomographic images that are both more realistic and better resolved. This book develops and describes state of the art methodologies covering all aspects of full waveform tomography including methods for the numerical solution of the elastic wave equation, the adjoint method, the design of objective functionals and optimisation schemes. It provides a variety of case studies on all scales from local to global based on a large number of examples involving real data. It is a comprehensive reference on full waveform tomography for advanced students, researchers and professionals.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The characterization of the near surface is an important topic for the oil and gas industry. For land and Ocean Bottom Cable (OBC) acquisitions, weathered or unconsolidated top layers, prominent topography and complex shallow structures may make imaging at target depth very difficult. Energetic and complex surface waves often dominate such recordings, masking the signal and challenging conventional seismic processing. Static corrections and the painstaking removal of surface waves are required to obtain viable exploration information.Yet surface waves, which sample the near surface region, are considered as signal on both the engineering and geotechnical scale as well as the global seismology scale. Their dispersive property is conventionally used in surface wave analysis techniques to obtain local shear velocity depth profiles. But limitations such as the picking of dispersion curves and poor lateral resolution have lead to the proposal of Full Waveform Inversion (FWI) as an alternative high resolution technique. FWI can theoretically be used to explain the complete waveforms recoded in seismograms, but FWI with surface waves has its own set of challenges. A sufficiently accurate initial velocity model is required or otherwise cycle-skipping problems will prevent the inversion to converge.This study investigates alternative misfit functions that can overcome cycle-skipping and decrease the dependence on the initial model required. Computing the data-fitting in different domains such as the frequency-wavenumber (f-k) and frequency-slowness (f-p) domains is proposed for robust FWI, and successful results are achieved with a synthetic dataset, in retrieving lateral shear velocity variations.In the second part of this study a FWI layer stripping strategy, specifically adapted to the physics of surface waves is proposed. The penetration of surface waves is dependent on their wavelength, and therefore on their frequency. High-to-low frequency data is therefore sequentially inverted to update top-to-bottom layer depths of the shear velocity model. In addition, near-to-far offsets are considered to avoid cycle-skipping issues. Results with a synthetic dataset show that this strategy is more successful than conventional multiscale FWI in using surface waves to update the shear velocity model.Finally inversion of surface waves for near surface characterization is attempted on a real dataset at the oil and gas exploration scale. The construction of initial models and the difficulties encountered during FWI with real data are discussed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Full-waveform inversion (FWI) is a technique that seeks to find a high-resolution high-fidelity model of the Earth's subsurface that is capable of matching individual seismic waveforms, within an original raw field dataset, trace by trace. The method begins from a best-guess starting model, which is then iteratively improved using a sequence of linearized local inversions to solve a fully non-linear problem. In principle, FWI can be used to recover any physical property that has an influence upon the seismic wavefield, but in practice the technique has been used predominantly to recover P-wave velocity, and this is the route that is followed here. Full-waveform tomographic techniques seek to determine a highly resolved quantitative model of the sub-surface that will ultimately be able to explain the entire seismic wavefield including those phases that conventional processing and migration seek to remove such as refracted arrivals. Although the underlying theory of FWI is well established, its practical application to 3D land data, and especially to seismic data that have been acquired using vibrators, in a form that is effective and robust, is still a subject of intense research. In this study, 2D and 3D FWI techniques have been applied to a vibrator dataset from onshore Oman. Both the raw dataset and the subsurface model cause difficulties for FWI. In particular, the data are noisy, have weak early arrivals, are strongly elastic, and especially are lacking in low-frequency content. The Earth model appears to contain shallow low-velocity layers, and these compromise the use of first-arrival travel-time tomography for the generation of a starting velocity model. The 2D results show good recovery of the shallow part of the velocity models. The results show a low-velocity layer that extends across the velocity model, but lacking in a high-resolution image due to the absence of the third dimension. The seismograms of the final inversion models give a good comparison with the field data and produce a reasonably high correlation coefficient compared to the starting model. An inversion scheme has been developed in this study in which only data from the shorter offsets are initially inverted since these represent the subset of the data that is not cycle skipped. The offset range is then gradually extended as the model improves. The final 3D model contains a strongly developed low-velocity layer in the shallow section. The results from this inversion appear to match p-wave logs from a shallow drill hole, better flatten the gathers, and better stack and migrate the reflection data. The inversion scheme is generic, and should have applications to other similar difficult datasets.

Book excerpt: Seismic inversion aims to reconstruct a quantitative model of the Earth subsurface, by solving an inverse problem based on seismic measurements. There are at least three fundamental issues to be solved simultaneously: non-linearity, non-uniqueness, and instability. This book covers the basic theory and techniques used in seismic inversion, corresponding to these three issues, emphasising the physical interpretation of theoretical concepts and practical solutions. This book is written for master and doctoral students who need to understand the mathematical tools and the engineering aspects of the inverse problem needed to obtain geophysically meaningful solutions. Building on the basic theory of linear inverse problems, the methodologies of seismic inversion are explained in detail, including ray-impedance inversion and waveform tomography etc. The application methodologies are categorised into convolutional and wave-equation based groups. This systematic presentation simplifies the subject and enables an in-depth understanding of seismic inversion. This book also provides a practical guide to reservoir geophysicists who are attempting quantitative reservoir characterisation based on seismic data. Philosophically, the seismic inverse problem allows for a range of possible solutions, but the techniques described herein enable geophysicists to exclude models that cannot satisfy the available data. This book summarises the author’s extensive experience in both industry and academia and includes innovative techniques not previously published.
