Technical Abstract

Ps Imaging on the Edvard Grieg Field: Application of Ps Reflection Fwi and Fwi Imaging

Back to Technical Content
Multi-component data recording from ocean-bottom seismic (OBS) surveys captures both PP and PS (converted wave) events. Processing such data can produce superior images compared to those obtained from conventional streamer acquisitions. In addition, PP and PS images can provide valuable insights into reservoir properties. However, PS imaging needs high-quality and high-resolution P- and S-wave velocity models in depth. While full-waveform inversion (FWI) for P-wave velocity model building is well established, an equivalent tool for updating the S-wave velocity (Vs) is still a challenge. A recent FWI methodology based on PS reflection data (PS-RFWI) has been proposed for the Vs model building. Updates from this technique are typically low wavenumber in nature. In this abstract, we show an application of PS-RFWI to OBS data from the Central North Sea and demonstrate an approach to update the high-wavenumber Vs components. Our real data application produces a high-quality 30 Hz Vs model that reduces the image undulations at the reservoir level and allows to generate a subsequent high-resolution Vs FWI Image.
