| 英文摘要 | Irregular surfaces are common situations in seismic exploration, especially at regions of middle and western China, making seismic processing and interpretation rather difficult in both oil/gas reservoir surveys and deep seismic soundings. The fine treatment of irregular topography becomes an inevitable requirement in high-precision seismic imaging. Traditionally, the problem of irregular topography is usually settled by model expansion scheme, in which the topography is regarded as an inner discontinuity after adding a low-velocity layer above the surface to expand an irregular physical space to a regular computational space. In recent years, a new method called topography flatten scheme, which involves the transformation between Cartesian and curvilinear coordinate systems, has been proposed to provide an alternative way to deal with rugged surfaces. In this paper, the both treatment schemes for irregular surfaces are briefly summarized. Then, a series of comparative tests are performed to comprehensively evaluate the accuracy, effectiveness and applicability of both methods from the first-arrival traveltimes, raypaths and imaging results of different synthetic models. These experiments indicate that the transition from a free surface to an inner discontinuity and the use of low-velocity media in model expansion scheme will cause many undesirable problems, such as loss of accuracy in calculating traveltimes and physically unrealistic seismic rays or spurious take-off angles, which can reduce seismic resolution and distort or smear structural images. For topography flatten scheme, the body-conforming grid can completely describe rugged surfaces and the topography-dependent eikonal equation (TDEE) is capable of exactly charactering the travel-time fields under complex surfaces, which establish a firm foundation for seismic imaging free from the effect of irregular surfaces. Therefore, we believe that topography flatten scheme has an exciting potential application in reconstructing high-quality seismic structures under complex topographical conditions. |
