From the perspective of sedimentary genesis of the interlayer, three types of genesis of the interlayer are summarized and analyzed, namely, fine grain sediment in the inter peak channel, suspended sediment in the post flood channel, and abandoned channel sediment. At the same time, combined with seismic waveform analysis, the distribution characteristics and morphology of the interlayer in complex fluvial facies oilfield are carefully depicted, and the horizontal well optimization implementation is guided based on the planar and three-dimensional spatial distribution characteristics of the interlayer. This method enriches the characterization technology of interlayer in offshore oilfields, and has important guiding significance for the overall evaluation and development research of complex fluvial facies oilfields.展开更多

Numerical waveform inversion experiments using a synthetic model show that the FWA performs well in both solution quality and efficiency. We apply the FWA in this study to crustal velocity structure inversion using regional seismic waveform data of central Gansu on the northeastern margin of the Qinghai-Tibet plateau. Seismograms recorded from the moment magnitude(MW) 5.4 Minxian earthquake enable obtaining an average crustal velocity model for this region. We initially carried out a series of FWA robustness tests in regional waveform inversion at the same earthquake and station positions across the study region,inverting two velocity structure models, with and without a low-velocity crustal layer; the accuracy of our average inversion results and their standard deviations reveal the advantages of the FWA for the inversion of regional seismic waveforms. We applied the FWA across our study area using three component waveform data recorded by nine broadband permanent seismic stations with epicentral distances ranging between 146 and 437 km. These inversion results show that the average thickness of the crust in this region is 46.75 km, while thicknesses of the sedimentary layer, and the upper, middle, and lower crust are 3.15,15.69, 13.08, and 14.83 km, respectively. Results also show that the P-wave velocities of these layers and the upper mantle are 4.47, 6.07, 6.12, 6.87, and 8.18 km/s,respectively.展开更多

General reflection and transmission synthetic seis- mogram algorithm, which is capable of calculating the response of thin alternating high and low velocity layers, is applied as a solution for forward modeling, and the genetic algorithm is used to find the optimal solution of the inverse problem. Numerical tests suggest that the method has the capability of resolving low-velocity layers, thin alternating high and low velocity layers, and noise suppression. Waveform inversion using P-wave records from Zeku, Xiahe and Lintao shots in the seismic wide-angle reflection/refraction survey along northeastern Qing- hai-Xizang (Tibeteau) Plateau has revealed fine structures of the bottom of the upper crust and alternating layers in the middle/lower crust and topmost upper mantle.展开更多

The 1-D crustal models inferred by waveform inversion show strong variations in crustal structure,which can be classified into four different types:1 an Ordos platform with the Proterozoic crust and two high-velocity layers in the northeast section,2 a transitional crust between the northeastern Tibetan plateau and the Ordos block across the Haiyuan earthquake zone,3 the Qilian orogenic zone in the central part,and 4 the Qinling orogenic zone in the southwestern section. The Moho depth increases from ～42 km to ～62 km from the NE part to the SW part of the profile. The crystalline crust consists of the upper crust and lower crust in northeastern Tibetan plateau. There is an obviously low P-wave velocity layer dipping northeastward,which is 12-13 km thick,at the bottom of the upper crust in Qinling orogenic zone and Haiyuan earthquake zone. The lower crust is characterized by alternating high and low P-wave velocity layers. Beneath Ordos block,i.e.,the NE part of the profile,the crust shows quite a smooth increase in P-wave ve-locity down to the Moho at a depth of about 42 km.展开更多

Continuous vertical-component waveforms of some broadband stations in the few months before the Wenchuan and Lushan earthquakes are processed by applying a bandpass filter in 2- 8Hz,and then converted to envelopes with a smoothing time of 10 s window and a median filter with a 20 min window. As a result,teleseismic,long-period noise and local small earthquakes are removed,the filtered amplitude is obviously larger than that of the noise and lasts for a dozen minutes to several hours during a few days in a few stations before the Wenchuan and Lushan earthquakes,respectively. The waveform and envelope are similar to that of a non-volcanic tremor( NVT). There are suspected NVT before the two earthquakes. Preliminary application demonstrates that this algorithm is potentially useful for extracting NVT signals from continuous seismic waveforms.展开更多

Then we give an example of seismic data processing for BSRs in western Nankai accretionary prism, a typical gas hydrate distribution region. Seismic data processing is proved to be important to obtain better images of BSRs distribution. Studies of velocity structure of hydrated sediments are useful for better understanding the distribution of gas hydrates. Using full waveform inversion, we successfully derived high-resolution velocity model of a double BSR in eastern Nankai Trough area. Recent survey and research show that gas hydrates occur in the marine sediments of the South China Sea and East China Sea.But we would like to say seismic researches on gas hydrate in China are very preliminary.展开更多

A volcanic edifice model is established. On the basis of lithology and internal flow unit,the volcanic edifices can be divided into 4 types,including acidic lava volcanic edifices( single flow units and composite flow units),rhyolitic lava debris volcanic edifices,and basaltic lava volcanic edifices. Among these types,the acidic lava volcanic edifices( single flow unit) consist of a single lava flow unit,and the seismic profile is characterized by a hill-like blank reflection. Additionally,this type of edifice shows a contiguous petal-like pattern in the waveform classification chart. The acidic lava volcanic edifices( composite unit) consist of several acidic lava domes and plate-like lava flows,and the seismic section is a combination of parallel and hill-like reflections. This type shows noise and short-line clutter in the waveform classification diagram. The rhyolitic lava debris volcanic edifices have multiple layers of stacked volcanic debris. The seismic section features a draping continuous parallel reflection over a large area,and this type of edifice is characterized by a ripple pattern in the waveform classification diagram. The basaltic lava volcanic structural seismic section shows a large area of parallel reflectors. The waveform classification phase diagram shows a single and continuous distribution. The volcanic edifices with better physical properties have the following characteristics: the primary porosity belt is well developed,the units in the volcanic edifices are superimposed,and the volcanic structure is not integrated. Acidic composite flow unit volcanic reservoirs have the best physical properties,and the acidic single flow unit volcanic reservoirs are the worst. This study provided some reference for volcanic exploration and reservoir study in areas with few or no wells.展开更多
