Description

Method in the seismic acquisition configuration that bandwidth increases
The present invention relates generally to the method in the geophysical data acquisition system, relate in particular to the method in a kind of acquisition system with the geophysics field that makes the Circuits System that system effective bandwidth increases, more particularly the present invention relates to a kind of geophysics acquisition system with Circuits System, this Circuits System can utilize the control of the operator in the course of work of exploration seismic to constitute, to increase the effective bandwidth of earth assembly, earth assembly is talked about the effect of wave filter to seismic signal and geophysics acquisition system, and the present invention has provided the frequency spectrum formation method in such system and the method for this system of use.
Obtaining to such an extent that the register system that for good and all is recorded on the tape especially of geophysical data is widely known by the people in the work on the spot.Purpose for open the application, term " geophysical data " is included in the data obtained in the geologic prospecting environment under the condition of detector that detector can be seismic instrument, seismoreceiver or other type and can is the data of obtaining in the seafari environment under the situation of nautical receiving set etc. at detector.At United States Patent (USP) the 3rd, 819, a kind of typical data field notes system is disclosed in 864.
Have the geophysics acquisition system (also being referred to as seismograph and collection in worksite system) of various designs, the simplest is fixed system, and this moment, the gain amplifier Yu of amplifier was Dinged And and fixing.This class prior art system has the height of prime amplifier level, analog gain stage, lowcut filter, notch filter and each passage by anti alias filter.Multi-channel converter is transformed into modulus (A/D) converter to data channel in order, this one of converter output and the proportional binary signal of input voltage.
An important parameter of this geophysical exploration system is its dynamic range.Dynamic range be defined as can be processed and the maximum input signal (being the signal that its amplitude just is lower than the amplitude that can cause that certain element of system is saturated) of record with can suitably be handled by system and the dB of these two signals of the minimum signal of record (be commonly referred to be signal to noise ratio (S/N ratio) be 1 signal) poor.Dynamic range generally is expressed as ratio maximum and minimum signal, expresses with decibel or dB in typical case.
The progression of the broken sub-signal of A/D converter has determined the precision of system.If be divided into 12, precision was higher when then system's ratio was divided into 8.A/D converter is used for accepting a certain maximum voltage.Importantly, before the described a certain maximum voltage of maximum voltage as close as possible (but being not more than) that is added on the A/D converter, seismic signal (geophysical data) is amplified.Utilize numeral position as much as possible to increase its meaning.The meaning of numeral is relevant with the bits number that is higher than the system noise level recording.In other words, in order to make full use of the geophysics acquisition system, consider from the viewpoint of " meaning ", the A/D amplifier gain reach high as far as possible and do not make electronic circuit saturated before, must amplify signal.To greatest extent when too big, electronic circuit just becomes saturated maximum voltage on being added on A/D converter for converter.
When reaching any concrete gain, digital display circuit can only be operated in the input voltage range of qualification, is unlikely to cause saturated and neither make signal be lower than noise level.Minimum detectable voltage is greater than the threshold voltage or the system noise level of least meaning position.It is such level that maximum can detect voltage, and when being in this level, A/D converter becomes saturated, and And exports the digital number of its maximum possible.The signal that is higher than maximum level is clipped when its emulation mode or after converting digital form to.
System for the special usefulness of petroleum prospecting is used for automatically regulating its gain according to input signal, also is used for writing down the gain that reaches.Many floating-point systems are arranged, and wherein number is that scientific approach with index-mantissa writes down.The output of A/D converter is mantissa, and the gain that reaches is an index.The binary system gain system is the first generation system in these systems; Example is the DFS III that Texas Instruments produces, and this system-gain scope is (single bit shift) in the increment of 6dB.The number of numeral is recorded as 15 word, and gain is with 4 index recording.Utilize the binary gain system, before gain increases, need the calling that several (from 15-60) will be shifted.Individual call need be used for reducing gain.
Gain amplifier register system of future generation is transient floating point (IFP) system.Only need call out with any amount and increase gain with one.The DES IV of Texas InstrumentS and DFS V are the examples of this quasi-instrument.The increment of the gain of these instruments is displacements of 12dB(2 position), but the ratio of other grade can be arranged, as 2: 1(6dB) and 8: 1(18dB) or the like.
When digital signal processing utilized digital filter etc. to be accomplished, its effective dynamic range of signal of considering to be recorded from the viewpoint of most important significance was less than the actual dynamic range that is added in the signal on the A/D converter.For 16 A/D converters (15 mantissa, 1 symbol), the digital processing code element of the effective dynamic range of A/D converter and system is between 40 to 50dB.
When producing a seismic signal, explosive source enters terrestrial time, this signal is actually the composite signal or the summation of many different oscillator signals or ripple, propagate that , And is reflected or the seismoreceiver of bounce back geophysics acquisition system in the oscillator signal that these are different or the wave direction earth.The frequency spectrum of the signal that produces depends on the shape and the material around thereof of the equivalent of blast and type, blast.In typical earthquake is surveyed, the energy peak in the frequency spectrum of producing in the scope of 10-30Hz, representative value is 15Hz.At the frequency place that is higher than peak value, the every octave of energy reduces 6dB approximately.The shape of the power spectrum that is produced of blowing plant (" air cannon ") and quality crash device is similar to the shape of explosive source.
Can utilize nonlinear sweep to control the spectrum of vibration source (as trade mark is Conoco, the seismic vibrator of Inc. (Vibroseis)).The high-frequency energy of the seismic signal in gained source can increase.
For the power spectrum of being imported the seismic event of the earth by one of above-mentioned source, the earth plays a part attentuating filter.The frequency content of multiple frequency seismic event contains velocity of propagation, and this velocity of propagation is roughly the same concerning any frequency, the 0.5dB but each frequency of composite wave approximately decays on its each wavelength.Attenuation decibel number for every kind of composition of ripple doubles with each letter frequently, the index increment that the decay letter that records with the dB number frequently equals to decay.Therefore, as the function of frequency, seismic event (power spectrum with generation) is exponential damping along with the increase of frequency.
The ripple of propagating by the earth also is exponential damping as the function of time.As a result, the decay spectra of the earth (seeing traffic filter as) is index variation with frequency in time.In any particular moment, the power spectrum of return ripple relies on " earth wave filter " and sensor and works, and this power spectrum is reaching maximal value in 10 to 40Hz frequency range, be exponential damping with frequency then.Consider that the elasticity velocity of wave propagation is well-known, the any particular moment of frequency spectrum after the source is initiated of considering to be produced relies on " earth wave filter " and detector and works, just as " taking snapshot " from a certain degree of depth of the earth energy ingredient to return ripple.The moment that takes snapshot is slow more, and is just dark more to " observation " that form.
From the digital processing system of modern geophysics acquisition system and " effective dynamic range " of A/D converter, " system's effective bandwidth " of the assembly of seismic acquisition configuration and " earth wave filter " can be similar to.In any moment after seismic energy is applied on the earth, the maximum signal amplitudes of spectrum determines that this is because consider setting gain margin Amplifier Gain, to produce one near peaked signal level to A/D converter.Then, effective dynamic range (representing with dB) just deducts from the level of the maximum signal level represented with dB, to produce a signal level that represent with dB, that be lower than maximum signal level, set up the level of attenuation of the earth-acquisition system, be lower than this level of attenuation, just can not have maximum measuring-signal " meaning " as described above.Then, that lower level (or meaning level) makes that just the bandwidth of the effective earth-acquisition system is determined, the bandwidth of this system is recorded with being defined as having most important significance receives the seismic signal band.Effective bandwidth is input in the earth back with take snapshot or the time changes at every turn at seismic signal Chan Sheng And thus defined.
Importantly, the effective bandwidth of the earth-acquisition system is wide as much as possible, can tell the less stratum of relative thickness like this.The limit of resolution can be limited like this, promptly when this limit, two kinds of physical features can be picked out from a kind of effect of physical features.The acquisition system that has increased the effective bandwidth of the earth-acquisition system is simply compared with the acquisition system with less effective bandwidth, has stronger stratum resolving ability.
In prior art, adopted lowcut filter to increase the effective system bandwidth.It is 80Hz making the cutoff frequency of using before the digitizing of geophysics acquisition system that Knapp and Stepples have described a kind of on " geophysics, Vo.51, No.2(1986 February) " the 288th page, the lowcut filter of each octave 24dB.The cutoff frequency of Knapp and Steeples suggestion wave filter should be so not high, trailing edge is so not steep, to such an extent as to all signals of elimination, but important this cutoff frequency in addition will be high enough to make high-amplitude, low frequency signal and the low-frequency noise decay that may bury the low amplitude signal.

Fig. 6 illustrates earthquake the interval attenuation spectrum of earth typical case afterwards takes place, and it is the function of time.The curve representation earth shown in the dotted line is to attenuation of seismic wave, and this is the function of time and frequency.Time can be considered a ginseng to the greatest extent, can think each time die-away curve the instantaneous die-away curve of earth frequency decay like this.The maximum point of every curve has all been annotated A 1, A 2... in the system of Fig. 2, its gain of gain margin amplifier 19 ' can automatically regulate, thereby the combined seismic signal of amplitude peak and be not more than the peak signal of A/D converter 70 ' confirmed.For every time curve of Fig. 6, A/D converter 70 ' and the dynamic range of the digital processing step followed of this A/D converter be taken as 48 decibels, thereby determined efficient system bandwidth (certainly, 48 decibels is an example, in order to explain the beneficial aspect of the present invention).For example from maximum point A 2The frequency spectrum of T=1 second of measuring extends to the P that is about 127 He Zhi 1Point produces line 301.For 1 second seismic event that receive, that return after earthquake takes place, the bandwidth of the earth is about 127 He Zhi (seismic acquisition configuration of Fig. 2 is considered to flat bandwidth shape on interested frequency).
Represent the result that the frequency spectrum of application drawing 3B or 4B circuit promotes at every earth and the block curve above the sensor spectrum curve (dotted line).For example, lower limiting frequency is set in about 20 He Zhi, and it is 24 decibels that the frequency spectrum that obtains promotes.Can see that for the T=1 frequency spectrum of second, frequency spectrum promotes the additional bandwidth that produces about 33 He Zhi.Can also obtain the increase bandwidth of each frequency spectrum of the moment after the earthquake, yet effectively the increase of earth acquisition system bandwidth diminishes in proportion.Increase to about 54 He Zhi from about 51 He Zhi in effective earth acquisition system bandwidth of T=3 during second, promptly increase by 3 He Zhi.
Be in operation, the seismic survey expert makes a test earlier and impacts, the seismic signal that record returns from the earth, determine the frequency of T=1.0 or 2.0 seconds time-frequency spectrum peak dot nidus for example of a certain moment after earthquake takes place then, such frequency spectrum peak dot can be determined with fast Fourier transform technology.The lower limiting frequency f of Fig. 3 B or 4B circuit 1Should be set in the spectral peak dot frequency that is determined identical or greater than its frequency place, the selected then amount of gain that promotes for the interested concrete degree of depth, improves the efficient system bandwidth best.
Referring now to Fig. 7 A, best circuit 100 is described, in two cover input stages (Fig. 7) of the present lowcut filter 35 of this circuit body.Fig. 7 A circuit is the second rank lowcut filter of a modification, and this wave filter has decay and the logarithm frequency response relation curve shown in Fig. 7 B.The response of this circuit is similar to common lowcut filter, and below cutoff frequency fc, along with the decline of frequency, decay increases, yet below cutoff frequency fc, in frequency f AReach after the maximum attenuation A maximum when maximum, when direct current frequency (being zero frequency), arrive decay point of accumulation A() in dB.
Though lowcut filter that decay of the present invention limits and the frequency response that it has been shown in Fig. 7 B have been shown in Fig. 7 A and 7C, and the lowcut filter that other decay limits also can adopt.Other this wave filter must have such frequency response, promptly it is characterized in that having substantially invariable decay when low frequency, is higher than frequency f corresponding to Fig. 7 B in frequency ADuring maximum frequency, decay reduces.
With reference to the circuit 100 of Fig. 7 A, regulate variable resistor R BTo determine the required frequency range minimum attenuation point of accumulation A that stops, regulating variable resistor R2A and R4A to set low cutoff frequency fc.Cutoff frequency and decay that following table 5 illustrates by the various switches adjusting realizations of Fig. 7 A limit (decibel).The switch S of variable resistor R2A 20~S 60Switch S with variable resistor R4A 20'~S 60' interlock.Table 5 following resistance value of hypothesis and capacitance, " 1 " expression switch closure in the table 5; " 0 " expression switch opens.

Or the like.
Just as shown in table 5, can change the lowcut filter that this decay limits, with a plurality of cutoff frequency fc that produce three different decay limit A and change from about 3HZ to 104HZ.Shown in the curve of Fig. 7 B, the frequency f A of maximum attenuation MaxWith the relation of cutoff frequency fc be factor K.Factor K is maximum attenuation frequency f A MaxRatio with the normal cut-off frequency fc of circuit.Table 6 has been set up decay limit A and factor K, octave than (fA under fc MaxThe frequency multiplication number of passes that part occurs) and the maximum attenuation A that represents with decibel MaxRelation.

A kind of optimum implementation of the lowcut filter 35 of the decay restriction of Fig. 7 C presentation graphs 2.With connecting shown in Fig. 7 A by above-mentioned table 5 and 6 two identical circuit determining 100.Switch S 20-S 60, S 20'-S 60', S 80And S 90Be those voltage-controlled field effect transistors as Fig. 4 B.Be added to 5 lead L 1-L 5Variable resistor R with each circuit 100 2AAnd R 4AOn voltage cut-out S 20-S 60And S 20'-S 60'.Two lead L of each circuit 100 7And L 8Gauge tap S 80And S 90By-pass switch S 100By lead L 6Control, operational amplifier 106 the most handy LT1012 operational amplifiers available on the market.
Fig. 8 is the same with Fig. 6, and expression is as the decay spectra of the typically section of the function of the time that produces from earthquake, and the dashed curve representative is as the ground decay for seismic event of the function of time and frequency.As shown in Figure 6, the time is regarded as a parameter, so can the die-away curve when per see " transient state " of the frequency decay on ground as.Minimal attenuation (the maximum point A on the curve representation ground of T=2.0 4) occur in 16HZ.The effective dynamic range of the 48db of A/D converter/mathematics manipulation system has caused at P 3The effective system bandwidth of about 74HZ of point.
By the lowcut filter circuit 35 that the decay of inserting Fig. 7 C limits, the lowcut filter of decay synthetically, sensor decay and decay restriction (for the purpose of representing supposes not have frequency spectrum intensifier circuit 30) has just produced die-away curve 500.Its maximum signal point occurs in the some A of about 8HZ 7Resultant curve 500 drops to an A 7Under the frequency of 48db be the some P of about 98HZ 4Increase for the effective system bandwidth of T=2 second is about 24HZ.Relatively early moment the effective system bandwidth increase bigger; Transient state 3(to the later moment is T=3.0 second) because the increase of the decay effective system bandwidth on the low frequency slightly reduces.
At work, the seismic prospecting expert is by being added to digital control voltage lead 21-28 gauge tap S effectively 20-S 60, S 20'-S 60', S 80, S 90And S 100, by adjusting circuit 35(Fig. 7 C) the decay and the cutoff frequency of circuit 100, control the shape of curve 500.
Because the source that the energy produces spectrum and above-described the decay, vibroseis has the excess quantity of a low frequency.FFT(fast fourier transform by the checkout area) the curve map expert determines the frequency of spectrum peak, sets the parameter of the lowcut filter of decay restriction then, (is the A of Fig. 7 B so that provide maximum decay at the peak value of approximately testing frequency spectrum Max).Relation of plane is set the frequency f c that decay limits lowcut filter under the basis then:
The frequency of fc=K test spectrum peak
Here K determines with reference to above-mentioned table 6.Select fading margin (A that represents with decibel) according to the degree of depth on the stratum that will draw with the resolution that increases.The depth capacity of low frequency loss having reduced the to obtain bass reflex on fading margin, maximum decay produces maximum bandwidth increases best thin layer resolution, but dark bass reflex has been decayed.
Vibroseis (such as vibrations equipment) changes its main energy into the surface wave of propagating along the face of land with low speed, and with reflection interference from interested buried regions, usually suppressing cross by source battle array (a plurality of oscillators on a line) and attempt fails the combination of the reception battle array of ripple and controls these cross and fail ripple, owing to the difference of the height in the battle array and because the reflection that is arrived on an angle has the tendency of smearing these reflections for these long gust, thisly smear the effect of playing a high frequency filter, if battle array is reduced, then the interference surface ripple will take the major part of dynamic recording range.
Can be used to reduce this surperficial wave amplitude to decay restriction lowcut filter of the present invention.Adopt apparent arrival rate and the noise analysis of time of arrival of determining this interference can analyze this surface wave problem well.Detailed inspection during these ripples has provided the rough myopia of spectrum peak.More accurate spectrum peak determines that method is that fft analysis is made in the time of arrival and the skew of interference wave interested.In case determined spectrum peak, then the selection of wave filter is the same with the description to vibroseis.
Certainly, as mentioned above, the decay restriction lowcut filter 100 that the frequency spectrum of circuit 30 forms wave filter and circuit 35 can be provided with their parameter, promoting ground acquisition system bandwidth, thereby has increased the high-resolution effective system bandwidth for the buried regions district on ground.
Multiple modification and change for described method all are obvious for the technician in above-mentioned field, and they all can not break away from spirit of the present invention.Therefore, these variations all are included among claims.The claim of only having the right is a limitation of the invention.The describing mode of used proposition embodiment is interpreted as a kind of explanation rather than limits.
