Abstract

Seabed multiple reflections (seabed multiples) are the main cause of misinterpretations of primary reflections in both shot gathers and stack sections. Accordingly, seabed multiples need to be suppressed throughout data processing. Conventional model-driven methods, such as prediction-error deconvolution, Radon filtering, and data-driven methods, such as the surface-related multiple elimination technique, have been used to attenuate multiple reflections. However, the vast majority of processing workflows require time-consuming steps when testing and selecting the processing parameters in addition to computational power and skilled data-processing techniques. To attenuate seabed multiples in seismic reflection data, input gathers with seabed multiples and label gathers without seabed multiples were generated via numerical modeling using the Marmousi2 velocity structure. The training data consisted of normal-moveout-corrected common midpoint gathers fed into a U-Net neural network. The well-trained model was found to effectively attenuate the seabed multiples according to the image similarity between the prediction result and the target data, and demonstrated good applicability to field data.

해저면 탄성파 겹반사는 발파점 모음자료와 겹쌓기 단면에서 모두 일차 반사파의 해석에 잘못된 결과를 초래할 수 있다. 따라서, 해저면 겹반사는 자료처리를 통해 제거해야 한다. 전통적인 자료처리 과정에서 겹반사 제거는 예측오차 곱풀기와 라돈 필터링 등과 같은 모델-기반 기법과 지표관련-겹반사제거와 같은 데이터-기반 기법에 의해 이루어져 왔다. 그러나 대다수의 자료처리 과정들은 방대한 컴퓨터 자원과 전문적인 자료처리 기법뿐만 아니라 자료처리 변수들을 테스트하고 선택하는데 많은 시간을 필요로 한다. 이 논문에서는 머신러닝 시스템을 활용한 해저면 겹반사의 제거효과를 살펴보기 위해 Marmousi2 속도모델에 대한 수치모델링으로 겹반사가 포함된 입력데이터와 겹반사가 포함되지 않은 레이블데이터를 생성하였다. 수직시간차가 보정된 공통중간점 모음자료로 훈련데이터를 구성하였으며 인공신경망은 U-Net 모델을 적용하였다. 해저면 겹반사를 제거하기 위해 훈련된 모델은 레이블데이터에 거의 근접하는 예측 결과를 만들어내며, 현장자료에 대한 예측 테스트에서 해저면 겹반사를 효과적으로 제거하는 것으로 나타났다.
