- This invention relates to the field of geophysical prospecting and, more particularly, to acquiring seismic vibrator data.
- the seismic exploration industry uses acoustic impulses to impart sonic vibrations into the earth to delineate subsurface structure for mineral exploration and development.
- These acoustic impulses may be from an explosive, implosive, swept-frequency (chirp) or random source.
- a recording of the acoustic reflection and refraction wavefronts that travel from the source to a receiver is used to produce a seismic field record. Variations in the travel times of reflection and refraction events in these field records indicate the position of reflection surfaces within the earth.
- the analysis and correlation of events in one or more field records in seismic data processing produces an acoustic image that demonstrates subsurface structure. The acoustic images are used to find valuable mineral deposits.
- the swept-frequency or chirp type seismic source may utilize a relatively long pilot signal such as 2 to 15 seconds to assure sufficient energy is imparted to the earth.
- the swept-frequency or chirp type source method relies on signal compression to compress the signal and ensure sufficient vertical resolution to resolve the position of subsurface reflectors.
- Signal compression generally is called deconvolution, with many techniques well known in the art of seismic data processing. Deconvolution of sweep or chirp signals compresses the source signal into a much shorter signal representative of a subsurface reflective boundary. The accuracy and effectiveness of any deconvolution technique is directly related to how well the source signal is known or understood. Most deconvolution operators are derived from statistical estimates of the actual source waveform.
- the energy is emitted in the form of a sweep of regularly increasing (upsweep) or decreasing (downsweep) frequency in the seismic frequency range.
- the vibrations are controlled by a control signal, which can control the frequency and phase of the seismic signals.
- the seismic surveys can be very time-consuming. With modern signal processing methods this period could be shortened if more than one seismic source could be used simultaneously. Multiple sources can be used if some means for distinguishing between signals emanating from the different sources can be provided. Further, the vibrational source generates harmonics which, in certain circumstances, can have an energy approaching or even exceeding the fundamental, and which can crossfeed with signals from other sources, giving misleading results when the signals are processed to separate the signals from each source. In addition, the harmonics are a source of noise and can mask weak reflection signals from deeper layers.
- U.S. Pat. No. 3,885,225 to Anstey et al proposes a method to distinguish between multiple sources.
- Anstey et al is directed to a method and apparatus for broad-line seismic profiling, using several vibrators simultaneously emitting signals.
- the normal emission frequency bandwidth is divided into several parts that are allocated to individual vibrators in a sequence of separate emissions, in such a way that the several vibrators radiate mutually exclusive frequencies at any one time.
- the detected signals are separated on the basis of frequency to represent the individual signals from each vibrator.
- the frequency limitation on each individual vibrator reduces the sensitivity of the survey. Harmonic distortion in the vibrators or their coupling with the ground can inhibit signal separation from different generators, this '225 patent makes no attempt to remove or reduce this distortion.
- a method for attenuating harmonic correlation noise caused by harmonic energy output from seismic vibrators was developed by Reitsch as disclosed in U.S. Patent 4,042,910.
- the method includes the step of generating a plurality of sweep signals in series and with the phase of each succeeding sweep signal being shifted relative to the previous one by a predeteraiined phase angle that is a fraction of 2B.
- the generated signals are separately recorded and transformed by inverse phase shifting before being added or stacked in a conventional manner.
- a series of N sweep segments are output by the vibrators (one for each record) that differ only in phase. Correlation noise up the Nth harmonic is attenuated.
- This method provides a method of suppressing harmonics using phase shifting, but only for a single vibratory source, and crossfeed is not addressed.
- U.S. Pat. No. 4,982,374 to Edington and Khan is a method for reducing the distortion and crossfeed from any selected order harmonic for any number of vibratory seismic sources operated concurrently, at the same time providing for separation of the signals from the different sources and for improving the signal- to-noise ratio.
- a number of sweeps of each source in each position is selected. This number depends upon the number of sources and the highest order harmonic to be suppressed. Initial phase angles for each sweep of each source are then selected to permit signal separation while suppressing harmonics up to and including that highest order harmonic.
- U.S. Patent 5,410,517 to Andersen discloses a method of cascading sweep segments to suppress unwanted harmonic energy.
- the method uses sweep segments having varying phase angles such that harmonic energy in the correlated wavelets is attenuated.
- a first cascaded sweep sequence is generated containing N sweep segments linked end-to-end.
- the N sweep segments are substantially identical, except that the initial phase angle of each sweep segment within the sweep sequence is progressively rotated by a constant phase increment of about 360 N degrees.
- a second cascaded sweep sequence is generated consisting of: (i) N consecutive sweep segments linked end-to-end which correspond to said first cascaded sweep sequence, and (ii) an additional sweep segment linked to the N consecutive sweep segments which is positioned and phased so as to substantially suppress harmonic ghosts during correlation.
- One of these cascaded sweep sequences is used for the vibrator sweep sequence and the other is used for the correlation reference sequence.
- the amplitudes of the correlation operators may be adjusted by measured ground force signal energy prior to correlation to balance and attenuate harmonic energy.
- the correlation operator may be the pilot sweep signal, the ground force signal or derived components of the pilot or ground force.

- FIG. 13 is a schematic illustration of the correlation process when ground force signals are used.
- the overall structure of the invention is best understood with reference to Figure 1. This will aid in understanding the detailed description that follows.
- the method of the invention 1 as shown in Figure 1 uses cascaded sweeps for acquiring seismic data.
- the purpose of the invention 3 is to be able to separate data from a plurality of sources as well as attenuate harmonics. In one embodiment of the invention, this is achieved by correlating a reflected seismic signal with a theoretical, predetermined signal related to the pilot sweep used to drive the vibrators 5. This may be done for any number of sources and any desired level of harmonic cancellation 9.
- the correlation signal is related to the pilot sweep, each vibrator is swept with N sweep segments and the correlation signal comprises N+l segments 13.
- ground force signals are measured at the vibrators and the correlation signal is related to the ground force signals 7.
- any number of sources may be used and any degree of harmonic cancellation is possible 11.
- vibrators are swept with N sweep segments; however, the correlation signal comprises N+2 segments of recorded ground force data. This is explained below.
- the present invention is a seismic data acquisition method of using phase rotated sweeps and cascaded phase rotated sweep segments that may be used for multiple sources operated concurrently.
- the invention provides for suppression of harmonic ghosts and crossfeed energy while concurrently using multiple sources, leading to reductions in survey acquisition time and improved data quality.
- Vibrator crews may be more efficient when the field effort involves combining sweeps that would normally be output at a vibrator point (VP) into a cascaded sequence of sweep segments such as shown in Figure 2a.
- This series of five cascaded sweep segments with the phase sequence 0, 72, 144, 216, and 288 degrees may be used to suppress upto the fifth harmonic (the 2 nd , 3 rd , 4 th and 5 ) when one source is used.
- the field time required to record data for these five sweep segments is much shorter than that required to record them separately because only a single listen period is required.
- the present invention combines a method for source coding and harmonic cancellation when using multiple sources with a technique for cascading phase rotated vibrator sweep segments.
- cascading is similar to U.S. Patent 5,410,517 in that the reference pilot or correlation signal contains N or N+l cascaded sweep segments.
- the method for determining the phase sequencing for the cascaded pilot sweep segments in the '517' patent is rigid in that phase rotations are progressive and determined solely by dividing 2B by the number of sweep segments. Following the scheme taught in the '517 patent does not allow the flexibility necessary to implement multiple sources operating coincident in time.
- the '517 patent method actually excludes the possibility of using multiple sources concurrently because the crossfeed harmonic cancellation requirement can not be achieved.
- Combining a method of cascading phase rotated sweep segments with a technique for source coding resulting in source signal separation allows for using multiple sources concurrently as well as suppression of harmonic ghosts and crossfeed energy.
- one or more sets of vibrators generate longer than normal output signals that consist of N cascaded, normal- length sweep segments. If more than one set of vibrators is used, they are located at different VP's.
- the recording is equal to N times the normal-length sweep time plus a single listen time (correlated record length). The recording time is therefore much shorter than recording a listen time for each of the N sweep segments.
- Each of the N cascaded sweep segments is phase rotated for source coding and suppression of harmonics. The field effort may be made more efficient with this method, as the total survey time is reduced.
- using one vibrator source group and suppressing up to the 5 harmonic may be accomplished with 5 sweep segments having phase rotations of 0; 144, 288, 72 and 216 degrees as shown in Figure 3a.
- Suppressing up to the 7 th harmonic with 7 sweep segments may be accomplished with phase rotations of 0, 102.86, 205.71, 308.57, 51.43, 154.29 and 257.14 degrees.
- a sequence of phase rotations for the sweep segments may be 0, 135, 270, 45, 180, 315, 90 and 225.
- the vibrator sweep will contain N segments and the correlation operator will contain N+l segments.
- Figure 3 a shows the cascaded sweep sequence for a preferred embodiment of the method of the present invention using one set of vibrators and for canceling harmonics up to the fifth harmonic.
- the sweep sequence is not progressive.
- the result of crosscorrelating data with the sweep segments shown in Figure 3 (with an additional sweep appended) is shown in Figure 4 where the harmonics have been eliminated. Comparing this result to the crosscorrelated data of Figure 2b, which did not have the added sweep segment concatenated to the correlation operator, demonstrates harmonics have been eliminated.
- the method of this embodiment is illustrated in Figure 3b for one vibrator.
- Data segments A', B', C and LISTEN correspond to 3 sweep segments and a listen time following the end of the sweep.
- the correlation signal comprises sweep segments C, A, B, C.
- the data may be acquired using, for example the sweep sequence of Figure 3 a.
- the portion of the data recorded during the first sweep segment may be combined with the recording period 'listen time,' that is the period after the sweep sequences.
- this first sweep portion of the data recording may be combined with the 'listen time' portion of the field data recording during acquisition. It is straightforward to apply this to multiple sources operating concurrently.
- This method is illustrated in Figure 3c where, as in Figure 3b, there are three data segments A', B', C followed by a listen time LISTEN.
- the data from the period A' is added to the data during the listen time and correlation is performed using the correlation operator A, B, C.
- recorded data are crosscorrelated with a cascaded-sweep pilot signal for each set of vibrators.
- the correlation operator reference signal or the vibrator sweep signal may contain N or N+l cascaded sweep segments, but the phase sequencing of the sweep segments is chosen so that signals from concurrently operating sources may be separated. Whether the additional sweep segment is placed on the correlation operator or in the vibrator sweep sequence, the first and last sweep segment of the sweep segment series containing the additional segment will have identical initial and final sweep segments.
- Crosscorrelation then yields the compressed data result from each set of vibrators and so the source signals may be made separate datasets.
- the correlation noise caused by both the source harmonics and the cascaded sweep segments is greatly attenuated, making the use of cascaded sweep segments acceptable and applicable to concurrent data acquisition by more than one source.
- FIG. 5 illustrates the cascaded sweep sequence for two sets of vibrators allowing for signal separation and for canceling up to the fifth harmonic (i.e., canceling the 2 nd , 3 rd , 4 th and 5 th harmonics).
- the phase sequence for the first vibrator or vibrator group, Vib 1 is 0, 102.86, 205.71, 308.57, 51.43, 154.29 and 257.14 degrees. Note, as stated previously in the single vibrator examples, that Vib 1 sequence alone will suppress up to the 7 th harmonic.
- the second concurrently sweeping vibrator or vibrator group, Vib 2 will have a sweep sequence phase rotation of 0, 257.14, 154.29, 51.43, 308.57, 205.71 and 102.86 degrees.
- Vib 1 and Vib 2 cascaded sweep segments concurrently, only up to the 5 l1 harmonics are suppressed in contrast to the single vibrator example.
- Figure 6 shows the first portion of an uncorrelated field record acquired with sweep series Vib 1 and Vib 2, indicating that the two sources are at opposite ends of the recording spread.
- Figures 7a and 7b display the separated record for each of the vibrator sources of Figure 6 with harmonic noise cancelled.
- the sweep segment series have been illustrated as sequentially adjacent, but also the invention may be practiced with the sweep series segments additively overlapped. For example, as one 10-second long sweep segment is within 2 seconds of finishing the next sweep segment may begin. For a sweep series containing 7 10-second sweeps, this would represent a significant time saving for the acquisition effort.
- Each sweep segment comprising the cascaded sweep segment series is identical except for their respective phase rotations. However, they can be of any type, including linear or nonlinear up sweeps, down sweeps or even pseudorandom sweeps. Examples of pseudo-random sweeps are described in Goder, A., 1994, Minimum phase correlation of pseudo-random vibrator signals, 64th Ann. Intemat. Mtg: Soc. of Expl. Geophys., 884-885 and Cunningham, A. B., 1979, Some alternate vibrator signals, Geophysics, v. 44, pp 1901-1921)
- phase rotation sequence allowing signal separation is equivalent to the phase rotation sequence with a constant added.
- the correlation signal is related to the pilot sweep signal used for driving the vibrators.
- the phase rotated sweep segment series is cross-correlated with the ground force (GF) signal rather than the pilot or the pilot with a repeated segment.
- the GF signal is a representation of the energy actually transmitted by the vibrator into the earth, and may be different than the pilot reference sweep. In general, the GF signal contains harmonics and subharmonics due to nonlinear coupling with the ground surface.
- Ground force signal may be measured by the method as disclosed in U.S. Patent Number 6,161,076 to Barr et al., incorporated herein by reference, or any other method. GF signal measurement is a common practice, and there are several ways known in the art to acquire these measurements.
- the GF signals may be measured by one or more methods from different locations on and near the vibrator.
- the various measurements may be placed on auxiliary channels during acquisition of survey data. Saving the GF measurements to tape or memory allows for further processing, for instance, in the processing center.
- the GF signals may be conditioned by various methods known in the art, for example by substantially equalizing the measurements among vibrators or vibrator groups, or combining signals to create weighted sum representations of ground force. These GF signals or their further processed forms may then be used for correlation with the field records or to create other filters.
- Figure 10 represents the result of using a GF signal, which contains higher order harmonic energy, as the correlation operator applied to a noise free model where the sweeps have been rotated to suppress unwanted harmonic energy. If the amplitudes of the harmonic energy are constant between individual sweeps, the harmonic energy will be eliminated; if the amplitudes are different, the harmonic energy will be attenuated.
- Amplitude scaling of the correlation operator may be used to compensate for differing, time-variant vibrator outputs during different sweeps.
- the vibrator output is measured using the ground force signal so that a scaling operator may be created.
- a scaling operator may be created that balances amplitude variations occurring between the different sweeps for a vibrator source. Balancing or equalizing the amplitudes of the output sweeps will tend to equalize the harmonic energy; equalization of harmonic energy among differing sweeps enhances attenuation of unwanted harmonic energy.
- Another amplitude scaling operator may be formed to enhance signal separation between sources rather than just source harmonic cancellation for a particular source sweep series. Effective and useful source signal separation is at least partly dependent on amplitude relationships of energy emanating from concurrently operating sources as well as their phases. A similar amplitude
- GF signal as the correlation operator can also be applied to the method of phase rotating cascaded sweep segments similar to the technique outlined above.
- a cascaded sweep made up of N segments would become a cascaded GF correlation operator with N+2 segments.
- the correlation operator would be formed from the measured GF signal.
- the initial and final segments of the vibrator sweep GF signal would be copied and appended to opposite ends.
- This measured GF signal recorded from the output of the example five segment vibrator sweep would become the basis for a seven sweep segment GF correlation operator consisting of the following phase series: 216, 0, 144, 288, 72, 216 and 0.
- the correlation process is illustrated in Figure 13 for three data segments A', B', C', (LISTEN) wherein the correlation signal comprises C, A, B, C, A.
