Intelligent Missing Shots’ Reconstruction Using the Spatial Reciprocity of Green’s Function Based on Deep Learning

Abstract

The trace interval in the common shot and receiver gathers is always inconsistent. The inconsistency affects the final performance of seismic data processing, and the reconstruction methods can enhance the consistency. Unfortunately, most interpolation algorithms are suitable in randomly missing cases, and the difficulty increases sharply in regularly missing cases, especially with big gaps. As deep learning (DL) has a strong self-learning ability in nonlinear characterizations to avoid linear events, sparsity, and low rank assumptions, we introduce DL into missing shots’ reconstruction. The spatial reciprocity of Green’s function is used to provide reasonable training data sets. First, the residual learning networks (ResNets) and the interpolation issue are briefly illustrated. Then, the spatial reciprocity is reviewed and illustrated qualitatively using the common shot and receiver gathers. The similar features in the common shot and receiver gathers guarantee the reasonability to regard the common shot gathers as the training sets and to regard the common receiver gathers as the test sets. The common shot gathers are divided into the training sets to train ResNets and the validation sets to verify the performance of the trained ResNets. Finally, the trained ResNets are used to reconstruct missing shots intelligently in the common receiver gather. Three different data sets are used to prove the validity of the proposed strategy. After reconstruction, the events are more continuous with less serrations and serious frequency wavenumber (FK) aliasing is attenuated effectively. The reconstructed data with a better consistency can improve the accuracy of migration and the final reservoir characterization.
