With the acquisition of wide-aperture seismic data sets, full-waveform inversion is an attractive method for deriving velocity models. Three-dimensional implementations require an efficient solver for the wave equation. Computing 3D time-harmonic responses with a frequency-domain solver is complicated because a large linear system with negative and positive eigenvalues must be solved. Time-domain schemes are an alternative. Nevertheless, existing frequency-domain iterative solvers with an efficient preconditioner are a viable option when full-waveform inversion is formulated in the frequency domain. An iterative solver with a multigrid preconditioner is competitive because of a high-order spatial discretization. Numerical examples illustrated the efficiency of the iterative solvers. Three dimensional full-waveform inversion was then studied in the context of deep-water ocean-bottom seismometer acquisition. Three dimensional synthetic data inversion results showed the behavior of full-waveform inversion with respect to the initial model and the minimum frequency available in the data set. Results on a 3D real ocean-bottom seismometer data set demonstrated the relevance of full-waveform inversion, especially to image the shallow part of the model.

Abstract Full Waveform Inversion (FWI) is based on the least squares algorithm to minimize the difference between the synthetic and observed data, which is a promising technique for high-resolution velocity inversion. However, the FWI method is characterized by strong model dependence, because the ultra-low-frequency components in the field seismic data are usually not available. In this work, to reduce the model dependence of the FWI method, we introduce a Weighted Local Correlation-phase based FWI method (WLCFWI), which emphasizes the correlation phase between the synthetic and observed data in the time-frequency domain. The local correlation-phase misfit function combines the advantages of phase and normalized correlation function, and has an enormous potential for reducing the model dependence and improving FWI results. Besides, in the correlation-phase misfit function, the amplitude information is treated as a weighting factor, which emphasizes the phase similarity between synthetic and observed data. Numerical examples and the analysis of the misfit function show that the WLCFWI method has a strong ability to reduce model dependence, even if the seismic data are devoid of low-frequency components and contain strong Gaussian noise.

Data Calibration

We found a data calibration scheme for frequency-domain full-waveform inversion (FWI). The scheme is based on the variable projection technique. With this scheme, the FWI algorithm can incorporate the data calibration procedure into the inversion process without introducing additional unknown parameters. The calibration variable for each frequency is computed using a minimum norm solution between the measured and simulated data. This process is directly included in the data misfit cost function. Therefore, the inversion algorithm becomes source independent. Moreover, because all the data points are considered in the calibration process, this scheme increases the robustness of the algorithm. Numerical tests determined that the FWI algorithm can reconstruct velocity distributions accurately without the source waveform information.

We assessed 3D frequency-domain (FD) acoustic full-waveform inversion (FWI) data as a tool to develop high-resolution velocity models from low-frequency global-offset data. The inverse problem was posed as a classic least-squares optimization problem solved with a steepest-descent method. Inversion was applied to a few discrete frequencies, allowing management of a limited subset of the 3D data volume. The forward problem was solved with a finite-difference frequency-domain method based on a massively parallel direct solver, allowing efficient multiple-shot simulations. The inversion code was fully parallelized for distributed-memory platforms, taking advantage of a domain decomposition of the modeled wavefields performed by the direct solver. After validation on simple synthetic tests, FWI was applied to two targets (channel and thrust system) of the 3D SEG/EAGE overthrust model, corresponding to 3D domains of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], respectively. The maximum inverted frequencies are 15 and [Formula: see text] for the two applications. A maximum of 30 dual-core biprocessor nodes with [Formula: see text] of shared memory per node were used for the second target. The main structures were imaged successfully at a resolution scale consistent with the inverted frequencies. Our study confirms the feasibility of 3D frequency-domain FWI of global-offset data on large distributed-memory platforms to develop high-resolution velocity models. These high-velocity models may provide accurate macromodels for wave-equation prestack depth migration.
