Volume scattering information that carries information of stratigraphic structure, lithology, and pore fluid is more useful for seismic exploration. However, traditional AVO analysis is based on the Zoeppritz equation, which only contains single-interface information. Quantitative interpretation of the thin bed thickness is essential to thin bed structure interpretation, reservoir description, and lateral reservoir prediction. The reflectance spectrum equation based on the elastic wave propagation matrix in the frequency domain derived in this paper shows that both interfaces and intervals have an effect on amplitude. The equation includes information about both single interfaces and volume scattering. Since the reflectance spectrum equation is a continuous function of thin bed thickness and frequency, it is convenient to analyze the effects of a single frequency and bed thickness on the reflectance spectrum. Bed thickness is analyzable until the bed thickness is vanishingly small. These characteristics can＇t be achieved by Fourier transform. The propagation of seismic waves is complex and various wave modes exist simultaneously. The reflectance spectrum includes various propagating wave modes and multiples and is better for simulating multi-component thin bed AVO responses than the ray tracing method.展开更多

By using the Monte Carlo program MCNP, the change of detector count from thin beds with the vertical depth was calculated at different casing thicknesses. The calculation showed that with the low density thin bed moving upward, detector count first increased to a maximum then decreased. The responses of a thin bed with a high density were opposite to those of a thin bed with a low density. The change curve was symmetrical, and the maximums or minimums appeared at the midpoint between the detector and source. Besides, detector count increased with increasing thin bed thickness. At a specific thin bed thickness, further increase of thin bed thickness resulted in a slow increase of detector count then the count rate leveled off. In actual logging, the influence of adjacent formations on density log measurements can be ignored. Finally, based on numerical simulation correction methods for the dual influence of casing and thin beds are discussed.展开更多

The digital modeling and focusing process to wavelet transform of the reflecting seismic signals have been done. It has been found that the locations of singularities after wavelet transform are only affected by two factors, their original locations and the seismic wavelet length, which says it does not matter with what shape the wavelet will be. The wavelet length can be determined according to the wavelet transform results and be eliminated thereafter so that we are able to detect thin bed seismic signal with resolution of l/32 wavelength. The singularities have been recovered with improved resolution of the seismic section by real data processing.展开更多

As the key processing methods for improving vertical and lateral resolution, conventional deconvolution and pre-stack time migration （PSTM） are not simply dominated by the estimation and compression of the wavelet because of its instability. Therefbre, considering the variations of wavelet frequency belbre, during and alter PSTM can obtain good common reflection point （CRP） gathers and imaging profiles of thin inter-beds. Based on the frequency characteristics of the wavelet before, during and after PSTM, a joint high-resolution processing method for thin inter-beds is proposed in this paper, including inverse Q filtering for high-frequency compensation before PSTM, optimum weighting Kirchhoff PSTM for preserving high-frequencies during PSTM, and wavelet harmonizer deconvolution tier consistent processing and frequency-band broadening after PSTM. An application to real data characterized by mudstone beds in the Oriente Basin proved that the joint high-resolution processing method is effective for determining the thickness and borders of thin inter-beds and is favorable for subsequent reservoir prediction and seismic inversions.展开更多

What are the characteristics of the fine thin layer? This paper gives the answer in frequency domain. The frequency feature of fine thin layer set obtained is grating. The frequence effects of rhythmic thin layer, on the other hand, is different from those of graded thin layer; the grating effect of fine layer is affected by several factors, but the thickness and its inner layer number are the most predominant factors over others affecting grating effect.展开更多

METHODS： A total of 339 patients met the criteria of this study. Finally, 175 eyes of 89 patients who had thin corneas and underwent LASIK≥5 y ago returned to our clinic and included in this study. Preoperative parameters recorded included uncorrected visual acuity（UCVA）, corrected distance visual acuity（CDVA）, manifest refraction, CCT and corneal topography. At returning visits, in addition to visual acuity and manifest refraction, ultrasound CCT and corneal topography were performed. Optical coherence tomography was used to measure the CCT, LASIK flap thickness, and residual stromal bed thickness（RSBT）. Safety index, efficacy index, percentage of eyes within ±0.5 D and ±1.0 D of refraction, percent tissue altered（PTA）, and percentage stromal bed thickness（PSBT） were calculated. RESULTS： The safety index was 1.09 and efficacy index was 0.99. The percentages of eyes within ±0.5 D and ±1.0 D were 71.2% and 87.7%, respectively. The mean PTA was 40%±6%（range 20% to 55%）; 76 eyes（43.4%） had PTA 〈40% and 99 eyes（56.6%） had PTA≥40%. The mean RSBT was 303±27 μm（range 240 to 390 μm）, and 2 eyes had RSBT〈250 μm. The mean PSBT was 61%±9%（range 51% to 85%）. No eyes developed ectasia. CONCLUSION： In this cohort with the PSBT of 50% or more, LASIK is safe with follow-up for at least 5 y.展开更多
