Abstract This article investigates bypassing the inversion steps involved in a standard litho-type classification pipeline and performing directly from imaged seismic data. We consider set of deep learning methods that map data into classes, trained on two variants synthetic data: (i) one which we image using local Radon transform to obtain angle gathers, (ii) another start subsurface-offset ba...

The primary inversion of the accurately measured frequencies of solar oscillations determines the mechanical properties of the Sun, i.e., the sound speed and density as a function of solar radius. In order to infer the temperature and hydrogen abundance profiles inside the Sun, it becomes necessary to use, in addition, the equations of thermal equilibrium along with the input physics, such as o...

In crosswell seismic experiments, seismic sources are red in one well, and the waveeelds generated are measured in another well. The goal of the crosswell seismology is to nd physical parameters, especially the velocities, of the rocks between the wells from these measurements. This amounts to the mathematical problem of solving a coeecient inverse problem of the multidimensional acoustic wave ...

Finite difference is a simple, fast and effective numerical method for seismic wave modeling, and has been widely used in forward waveform inversion and reverse time migration. However, intensive calculation of three-dimensional seismic forward modeling has been restricting the industrial application of 3D pre-stack reverse time migration and inversion. Aiming at this problem, in this paper, a ...

State-of-the-art seismic imaging techniques treat inversion tasks such as full-waveform (FWI) and least-squares reverse time migration (LSRTM) partial differential equation-constrained optimization problems. Due to the large-scale nature, gradient-based algorithms are preferred in practice update model iteratively. Higher-order methods converge fewer iterations but often require higher computat...

As a sedimentary mineral, most sandstone type uranium deposits are formed in petroliferous basins. Therefore, we can fully tap the residual economic value of historical logging and 3D seismic data measured for oil gas to search deposits. However, large amount acoustic missing target stratum reservoir that it is not main gas. A reconstructed method based on clustering analysis with low-frequency...

There are numerous methods for interpolating uniformly sampled, aliased seismic data, but few can handle the combination of nonuniform sampling and aliasing. We combine the principles of Fourier reconstruction of nonaliased, nonuniformly sampled data with the ideas of frequency-wavenumber f-k interpolation of aliased, uniformly sampled data in a new two-step algorithm. In the first step, we est...
