Sparse-Spike Deconvolution Promoting Frequency Dependent Seismic Stratigraphic Analysis and an Application

Abstract

Low-frequency components of seismic data tend to characterize thicker litho-stratigraphic units, while high-frequency components tend to characterize thinner isochronous-stratigraphic units. Thus, frequency dependent interpretation can help to achieve fine sedimentary sequence analysis. However, in current seismic sedimentology method, a certain frequency profile generated by frequency filtering, loses some stratum reflection information, which is out of the limited frequency band. To achieve real frequency dependent stratum reflection profiles with whole stratum information, a time-varying sparse-spiking deconvolution based method is proposed in this paper. A synthetic example and a real delta progradation example show the accuracy and effectiveness of proposed method.
