Abstract:
The conventional poststack inversion uses standard recursion formulas to obtain impedance in a single trace. It cannot allow for lateral regularization. In this paper, ID edgepreserving smoothing (EPS) fi lter is extended to 2D/3D for setting precondition of impedance model in impedance inversion. The EPS filter incorporates a priori knowledge into the seismic inversion. The a priori knowledge incorporated from EPS filter preconditioning relates to the blocky features of the impedance model, which makes the formation interfaces and geological edges precise and keeps the inversion procedure robust. Then, the proposed method is performed on two 2D models to show its feasibility and stability. Last, the proposed method is performed on a real 3D seismic work area from Southwest China to predict reef reservoirs in practice.
