Prediction of Reflection Seismic Low-Frequency Components of Acoustic Impedance Using Deep Learning

The unreliable prediction of the low-frequency components from inverted acoustic impedance causes uncertainty in quantitative seismic interpretation. To address this issue, we first calculate various seismic and geological attributes that contain low-frequency information, such as relative geologica...

description The unreliable prediction of the low-frequency components from inverted acoustic impedance causes uncertainty in quantitative seismic interpretation. To address this issue, we first calculate various seismic and geological attributes that contain low-frequency information, such as relative geological age, interval velocity, and integrated instantaneous amplitude. Then, we develop a method to predict the low-frequency content of seismic data using these attributes, their high-frequency components, and recurrent neural networks. Next, we test how to predict the low-frequency components using stacking velocity obtained from velocity analysis. Using all the attributes and seismic data, we propose a supervised deep learning method to predict the low-frequency components of the inverted acoustic impedance. The results obtained in both synthetic and real data cases show that the proposed method can improve the prediction accuracy of the low-frequency components of the inverted acoustic impedance, with the best improvement in a real data example of 57.7% compared with the impedance predicted using well-log interpolation.
