Abstract:
Source excitation is an important factor of the effects of seismic exploration. Choosing the appropriate excitation parameters in oil and gas exploration in order to get better seismic record is necessary. By using the software ANSYS/LS-DYNA, we adopted Lagrange algorithm based on the finite element method to simulate the seismic source of the cylindrical explosive. In this paper we focus on the frequency component of excited seismic waves in single well. Through the study of explosive detonation velocity and explosive shape we conclude that the dynamite with low detonation velocity and elongated grains has high excitation frequency and energy in the medium with low P-wave velocity, but the dynamite with high detonation velocity and short-thick shape has high excitation frequency and energy in the medium with high P-wave velocity. We want to provide references for the choices of excitation parameters in actual exploration to save exploration costs.

Abstract:
To resolve the problems of tomography based on ray theory, Fresnel tomography discards the concept of zero-width geometric ray. Taking into account the seismic signal has a certain bandwidth, high-frequency radiation path not only on the nature of the medium will affect the propagation of seismic waves, rays near the same media features will affect the propagation of seismic waves. We propose the Fresnel zone travel-time tomography based on multi-band frequencies' combination. This paper starts from the Born and Rytov approximation of frequency-domain wave equation to derive the travel-time sensitivity kernels of wave equation on the band-limited wave-field and the travel-time residual can be obtained based on the Rytov approximation at the same time. Meanwhile, we enhance the resolution and precision by combining multiple frequencies during different stages of iteration. The inverted result proves that our method has a higher resolution and accuracy

Abstract:
Objective: To study the effectiveness of the functional parameters of spectral CT, and to explore their clinic values of image quality in the evaluation of myocardial infarction(MI), so as to provide a novel and reliable imaging diagnostic system for early detection of MI. Methods: 30 patients with coronary heart disease were scanned with the conventional coronary CT angiography(CCTA) and the dual energy spectral imaging modes. In addition, all cases had the Cardiac MRI scan within a week. CCTA images were used to measure stenoses. The optimal contrast-to-noise ratio(CNR) and the optimal monochromatic energy levels for displaying infractions were measured from 1 min and 3 min monochromatic images. Record the image noise according to the optimal monochromatic energy levels. The results were compared with those measured from conventional 140 k Vp polychromatic images. Detect MI in MRI perfusion images and compare with those detected by CT. Results: Spectral CT have detected 36 regions of MI and had good correlation with the myocardial perfusion images of MRI(r = 100%, P = 0.00). All spectral CT-identified MI had associated coronary artery with more than 50% stenosis of the intravascular diameter(71.7% ± 16.2%). The optimal CNR for displaying infractions of 1 min and 3 min monochromatic images were significant higher than the CNR of conventional 140 k Vp polychromatic images(P < 0.05). The image noise according to the optimal monochromatic energy levels of 1 min and 3 min monochromatic images were significant lower than conventional 140 k Vp polychromatic images(P < 0.05). Conclusions: The GSI mode of dual energy spectral CT greatly improves the image quality and the efficiency of the detection of MI.

2016, 25(3): 287-298. doi: 10.15953/j.1004-4140.2016.25.03.05
Abstract:
Radio-wave penetration method is one of the most popular methods for geological detection. Based on Simultaneous Algebraic Reconstruction Technique(SIRT) method, the attenuation coefficients of coal seam are reconstructed. But the inversion resolution for SIRT tomography method is reduced by the poor geometry and low SNR data acquired in mine tunnel. In our study, the Tikhonov and Total Variation(TV) regularization methods for minimization problem are derived to inverse the attenuation coefficients and the influence factors of inversion results are discussed to account for effect on model solutions.Conclusionsare reached from inversion experiment for theoretical models and field data. Regularization methods have better inversion resolution than SIRT method. More fold and higher SNR are important factors to obtain high resolution result. For Tikhonov regularization method, increasing regularization parameter makes the inversion result smoother, while decreasing parameter causes the result closer to the geological anomalies. TV regularization method has opposite property. The inversion result for field data well conform to the known geological anomalies, which shows the feasibility and reliability of the two regularization methods for practical application.

2016, 25(3): 319-330. doi: 10.15953/j.1004-4140.2016.25.03.08
Abstract:
In recent years, variable-depth streamer acquisition is a kind of seismic exploration technique. The mainly propose of this acquisition is to suppress ghost and obtain high quality broadband seismic data. The commonly used variable-depth streamers are linear streamer and curved streamer, which could obtain more high frequency and low frequency information. By comparing the different parameters of seismic data and de-ghosting data, we found that curved variable-depth streamer data in wave-field analyze showed better characteristics, and have a higher signal-to-noise ratio. That is to say, the observation system of curved variable-depth streamer is superior to the linear variable-depth streamer. According to the result, it is recommended that curved variable-depth streamer is a better choice in the seismic exploration.

Abstract:
When the cap rock above the reservoir containing thick source rocks and other special strata, the reflection of the overlying strata will show strong amplitude, it will hide the reservoir information and make it present as a weak reflection, thereby interference normal description and prediction of reservoir. Therefore, eliminating the effect of interference layer on seismic reflection of reservoir, enhancing weak reflection signal is very important to improve the accuracy of reservoir prediction and determine the distribution of reservoir space. Fan 159 well block is located in the Midwest Fandong area. In this area, it containing high resistance and high speed thick hydrocarbon source rocks above the reservoir, it has a strong effect on the underlying reservoir, and it must be stripped. In this paper, we use F159 area as an example, analyses the geophysical characteristics of reservoir, study the matching pursuit algorithm based on horizon control, and finally peel off the strong shielding layer. We compared the section attributes and horizon attributes, it can be found that the recognition accuracy of reservoir is obviously improved.
