  • Patent number: 10345466
    Abstract: A memory-efficient Q-RTM computer method and apparatus for imaging seismic data is described. A seismic image may be formed from a memory-efficient Q-RTM module utilizing received attenuated seismic data. Seismic data is processed by the memory-efficient Q-RTM module to compensate for amplitude attenuation and phase velocity dispersion simultaneously during back-propagation in RTM. A negative quality factor, Q, is obtained by modifying the wave equation to compensate for amplitude attenuation. One or more dispersion optimization terms introduced to a wave equation for compensation of Q effects on the phase, solved by a finite difference algorithm, compensate for phase velocity change and further adjust amplitude attenuation compensation.

  • Patent number: 9864083
    Abstract: A full wave inversion (FWI) may utilize an Amplitude-Frequency-Differentiation (AFD) or a Phase-Frequency-Differentiation (PFD) operation to form a velocity model of a subterranean formation utilizing recovered low wavenumber data. Received seismic data is processes to isolate two data signals at different frequencies. In an AFD operation, the two data signals are summed and the data of the envelope of the summed function is used for the FWI. In a PFD operation, the phase data of the quotient of the two data signals is used for the FWI. The FWI proceeds iteratively utilizing either the AFD or PFD data or with single frequency data until the cost function of the AFD or PFD is satisfied.

  • Patent number: 8972234
    Abstract: A method for seismic modeling on a GPU includes creating a discretized model containing a volume enclosed by boundaries with arbitrary boundary conditions, dividing the discretized model into subsets, transferring a data to the GPU, initializing the data stored in a selected number of the subsets on the GPU, performing computation related with a number of time steps for the selected number of the subsets on the GPU, and substantially simultaneously computing, off-loading a finished subsets data from the GPU, and up-loading a new subsets data to the GPU. The provided method and corresponding system can reduce the amount of data stored in GPU memory by an order of magnitude, minimize the GPU device-to-host transfer bandwidth requirements, and reduce the GPU setup time.
