2 Dip Correction of Spectral Components ABSTRACT Seismic spectral decomposition is a powerful analysis tool that has had significant success in delineating channels, fans, overbank deposits and other relatively thin architectural elements of clastic and carbonate depositional environments. Most publicaitons of spectral decompositon have been applied to time-migrated data rather than depth-migrated data. Interpreting spectral components and spectral attributes such as peak frequency on depth-migrated data requires a slightly different perspective. First, the results are computed in cycles/km (or alternatively as cycles/1 ft) rather than as cycles/s or Hertz, with the dominant wavenumber decreasing with increasing velocities at depth. Second, interpreters resort to depth migration when there are significant lateral velocity changes in the overburden and/or steep dips. All present-day implementations compute spectral components vertical trace by vertical trace rather than perpendicular to the bedding plane, giving rise to tuning and other anomalies at an apparent rather than at a true frequency or wavenumber. We illustrate the interpretational differences of spectral decomposition between time- and depth-migrated data through the use of a simple synthetic model and a modern 3D data volume. We show how one can approximately compensate for reflector dip by normalizing each spectral magnitude component by 1/cosθ, where θ is the volumetric dip magnitude commonly computed in seismic attribute analysis.

3 Dip Correction of Spectral Components INTRODUCTION Most publications on seismic attributes have used time-migrated data. Interpreting seismic attributes such as spectral components on depth-migrated data requires a slightly different perspective. First, the samples are in meters or feet rather than as milliseconds. Second, spectral components are computed in cycles/km (or alternatively as cycles/1 ft) rather than as cycles/s or Hertz, with the dominant wavenumber decreasing with increasing velocities at depth. Third, since depth-migration is often used to image most structurally complex geology, the spectral components will provide a measure of apparent vertical thickness rather than true thickness. Spectral decomposition is computed trace by trace which implicitly ignores any dipping structure. One of the most common uses of spectral decomposition is to map fluvial (e.g. Partyka et al., 1999; Peyton et al., 1998) and deep water (e.g. Bahorich et al., 22; Braccini and Adeyemi, 211) depositional systems. Key to interpreting these spectral components is the thin bed tuning model (e.g. Marfurt and Kirlin, 21). Widess (1973) and Kallweit and Wood (1982) used wedge models to quantify the response of thin-bed anomalies. For a constant impedance wedge embedded in a surrounding constant impedance matrix, the maximum constructive interference occurs when the wedge thickness equals the tuning thickness (one-half of the twoway travel-time period for the time-migrated data or one-quarter of the wavelength for the depthmigrated data). By applying this model to spectral components, Laughlin et al. (22) show that a thicker channel axis exhibits a stronger response at lower frequencies, while the thinner channel flanks exhibit a stronger response at higher frequencies. Although this is the most common use of spectral decomposition, spectral components are currently the method of choice in estimating attenuation (1/Q) (e.g. Taner and Treitel, 23), and are also used in pore-pressure prediction (e.g. Young and LoPicollo, 25), in mapping seismic unconformities (Smythe et al., 3
4 Dip Correction of Spectral Components 24; Davogustto et al., 213), as well as in some implementations of seismic chronostratigraphy (Qayyum et al., 215). The objective of this paper is simple to alert the interpreter that spectral components need to be corrected in the presence of steep dip. We begin by illustrating the effect of dip on spectral components through the use of some simple synthetics. We then show the subtle effects of dip on spectral components along the flanks of karst collapse in the Fort Worth Basin, TX. Finally, we highlight differences in spectral component displays on time- vs. depth-migrated using 3D survey from onshore China. We conclude with summary remarks of some common interpretation pitfalls. 4
5 Dip Correction of Spectral Components THEORY Spectral Components of Time- and Depth-Domain Data There are currently four algorithms commonly used to generate spectral components: shortwindow discrete Fourier transforms (SWDFT), continuous wavelet transforms, the S transform, and matching pursuit. Leppard et al. (21) find that matching pursuit provides greater vertical resolution and less vertical stratigraphic mixing than the other techniques. The fixed-window length least-squares spectral analysis technique described by Puryear et al. (28) provides similar spectral resolution to the (least-squares) matching pursuit algorithm. While all of our examples here will be generated using a matching pursuit algorithm described by Liu and Marfurt (27), the concept of apparent vs. true frequency is perhaps easiest to understand using the fixed length analysis window used in the SWDFT. For time data, the window will be in seconds, such that the spectral components are measured in cycles/s or Hz. For depth data, the window will be in kilometers, such that the spectral components are measured in cycles/km. Significant care must be made when loading the data into commercial software, where the SEGY standard stores the sample interval in microseconds. For everything to work correctly, a depth sample interval of 1 m will need to be stored as 1 microkilometers. If the units are not stored in this manner, the numerical values of the data may appear to be in fractions of cycles/m. Many commercial software packages will not operate for cycles/s (or cycles/km) that fall beyond a reasonable numerical range of Once the data are loaded, the range of values will be different. If the time domain data range between 8-12 Hz, depth domain data will range between 2-3 cycles/km at a velocity of 4 km/s, such that anomalies will be shifted to lower frequencies. 5
6 Dip Correction of Spectral Components Figures 1a and b show a vertical slice through an impedance and corresponding reflectivity model. Figure 1c shows a synthetic section created by convolving a Hz Ormsby wavelet with the reflectivity and adding 5% random noise. It is critical that one use spectrally flattened data prior to peak frequency tuning thickness estimation to remove the effect of the seismic wavelet. Figure 1d shows the peak frequency computed using a CWT decomposition algorithm. Note that the peak frequency increases with decreasing thickness of the wedge model. Dip Compensation Lin et al., (213) added dip compensation to spectral decomposition and noted that the apparent peak frequency and the corrected peak frequency are different by 1/cosθ in the presence of dip θ. If the dip angle is θ, and the real thickness is h r, then the apparent vertical thickness will be h a = h r / cos θ (Figure 2). The tuning frequency (and tuning wavenumber) will therefore decrease with increasing values of θ. The shift to lower apparent frequency is familiar to those who examine data before and after time migration, where dipping events on unmigrated stacked data with moderate apparent frequency migrate laterally to steeper events with lower apparent frequency (Chun and Jacewitz, 1981). Since spectral decomposition is calculated trace by trace in the vertical direction, the results will be accurate for flat horizons where θ=. However, for dipping horizons, spectral decomposition tuning effects will be in terms of the vertical apparent thickness which is always larger than the true thickness for dipping layers. According to tuning phenomenon and the schematic diagram in Figure 2, and (6a) 6, (6b)
7 Dip Correction of Spectral Components where h a is the apparent vertical thickness in vertical direction, h r is the real thickness of the thin layer, θ is the dip angle of the thin layer. V pa and V pr are the phase velocities of apparent vertical frequency and real frequency. If we ignore dispersion, we can consider V pa V pa. In contrast, one would not wish to make such an assumption for estimation of Q. The relationship between f a, the apparent tuning frequency in the vertical direction, and f r, the real tuning frequency of the thin layer is simply. (7) The model in Figure 3a was constructed with a 1 ft/s, constant 1 ft vertical thickness layer such as encountered in similar folds of more ductile lithologies, resulting in an apparent tuning frequency of 5 Hz. Correcting the apparent thickness by 1/cosθ gives the true laterally variable tuning frequency that ranges between 5 and 72 Hz indicated by the red line. The model in Figure 3b shows the true thickness to be a constant 1 ft, such as encountered in concentric folds of more brittle rocks, resulting in an apparent tuning frequency that ranges laterally between 35 and 5 Hz across the model. Compensation for dip results in a constant tuning frequency of 5 Hz. 7
8 Dip Correction of Spectral Components APPLICATION A salt withdrawal minibasin, Gulf of Mexico Salt withdrawal often generates minibasins with steep flanks. The peak frequency shown in Figure 4 thus falsely implies increasing thickness towards the minibasin edges. Correction of the apparent peak frequency (Figure 4a) by the dip magnitude (Figure 4b), corrects the image to be a more accurate thickness of the true peak frequency normal to the reflectors and hence a more accurate measure of tuning thickness (Figure 4c). Correction of the peak frequency is trivial. Correction of a given spectral component is also simple but requires interpolation of the irregularly sampled corrected spectral components to produce the desired regularly sampled output components. An East China Carbonate Oil Field The next example comes from an oilfield of east China. The oilfield contains multiple fault-controlled reservoirs, which can be seen on vertical slices through both the time-migrated (Figure 5a) and depth-migrated (Figure 5b) data. Superficially, the reservoir appears to be significantly deeper in the depth-migrated data than the in time-migrated data. This appearance, along with the increase in wavelength and decrease in apparent resolution is due to the increase of velocity with depth. Figure 5 shows vertical slices through seismic amplitude computed after (a) time-migration ( t=.2 s) and (b) depth-migration ( z=.1 km). Red arrows indicate faults, which are both stronger and more continuous in the depth-migrated data. The blue arrow in the depth-migrated data shows a clearly imaged fault plane, which is blurred in the time-migrated data. Orange arrows indicate migration artifacts. In this case, the depth-migrated data suffer from more artifacts than the time-migrated data. The green arrow in the depth-migrated data indicates a 8
9 Dip Correction of Spectral Components lower frequency response compared to the time-migrated data. The frequency range is 4 Hz for the time-migrated data, while the wavenumber range is about 2 cycles/km for depthmigrated data (Figure 6). The shift to frequencies falling below that used in acquisition and premigration low-cut filters is a common feature in migration of steep dips (Chun and Jacewitz, 1981). We find that the numerical value of the wavenumber for depth-migrated data is about half of the frequency for time-migrated data. Figures 6a and b display the peak frequency co-rendered with seismic amplitude on the time- and depth-migrated data. Both figures exhibit a similar peak frequency distribution, even though the values of peak frequency measured in cycles/km in the depth-migrated data are approximately half those measured in Hz in the time-migrated data. Low peak frequency anomalies are lithogically bound (consistent with increasing velocity with age) along the horizon, except for the zone seriously blurred by the migration artifacts indicated by orange arrows in Figure 5. The peak frequency tracks the horizons for the time-migrated data in Figure 6a. The combination of the increased velocity below the pink horizon, steeper depth dip than time dip, as well as some steeply dipping migration artifacts give rise to the low frequency zones. Figures 7a and b show the impact of dip compensation as defined by equation 7. As expected, the areas of flat dip show no changes while those with steep dip have a greater compensation factor, shifting the result to a higher (true) peak frequency. The dip compensation factors follow faults and horizons. Because of the greater noise in the depth-migrated data, some of the dip estimates are erratic, giving rise to the erratic dip compensation values shown in Figure 7b. Such errors can be ameliorated by first smoothing the reflector dip estimates. Figures 8a and b show the corrected (true) peak frequency of the time-migrated and depthmigrated data. In the shallower part of the section, the corrected peak frequency changes only 9
10 Dip Correction of Spectral Components slightly, since the dip is small. For the steeply dipping deeper section, the corrected peak frequency is significantly (~5%) higher than the original apparent peak frequency. The corrected peak frequency better correlates to the horizons than those in Figures 6a and b, especially for the depth-migrated data, suggesting that these deformed layers have nearly uniform rather than laterally varying thickness. CONCLUSIONS In the presence of strong lateral variations in velocity, time-migration fails to properly image the subsurface. Imaging errors include velocity pull-up and push-down and poorly imaged steeply dipping horizons and fault planes. Accurate prestack depth migration removes most of these artifacts but introduces problems of its own. In order to image steep dips, depth migration often generates steeply dipping migration aliasing artifacts. Such steeply dipping artifacts have a low frequency (vertical) spectrum that may overprint reflectors of interest. Fortunately, steeply dipping coherent noise that cuts across less steeply dipping reflectors can be suppressed using edge-preserving structure-oriented filtering. A second feature of depth-migrated data is the change in wavenumber with depth due to the velocity gradient which can be is much greater than the corresponding decrease in frequency of time-migrated data. Given these two caveats, the interpretation of spectral components computed from depth-migrated data are similar, and in principal, more accurate that those computed from time-migrated data. A major headache encountered by many interpreters is the need to load the seismic data in such a manner that the spectral range falls within that supported by their software, which can be achieved by defining the SEGY sample increment in units microkilometers or microkilofeet (e.g. with a 3 foot sample increment being stored as 3 microkilofeet). 1
11 Dip Correction of Spectral Components Depth migration is designed to handle lateral changes in the velocity overburden. Such changes are often if not usually associated with steep dips. In general, spectral components of seismic data are computed trace by trace and therefore provide vertical or apparent spectral components vs. true spectral components. Fortunately, since most interpreters who use spectral decomposition also compute and interpret volumetric dip estimates, θ, one can correct for dip by scaling the frequencies by 1/cosθ. Correction of the full spectrum requires resampling and interpolating the apparent spectrum at each voxel, which is algorithmically trivial, but difficult to do in commercial software package not designed to do so. Such compensation provides more accurate images of the lateral variation of layer thickness. We suspect, but have not shown, that the accuracy for Q-estimation and pore-pressure prediction based on spectral components will be similarly improved.
