The invention belongs to the field of geophysical
processing methods for oil-gas exploration. The invention discloses a method for estimating
seismic wave attenuation gradient by using a
quantum mechanics Schrodinger equation (Figure 1). According to the method, seismic data is converted into a time-
frequency domain by using a time-
frequency analysis method, a
quantum mechanics Schrodinger equation is adopted for the seismic data in the time-
frequency domain to solve an adaptive fundamental
wave function, and on the basis of obtaining a mapping coefficient sequence of the adaptive fundamental
wave function, a least square method is combined to realize high-resolution
estimation of the attenuation gradient. According to the method for estimating the
seismic wave attenuation gradient by using the
quantum mechanics Schrodinger equation, the Schrodinger equation is used for performing quantum feature representation on seismic data, the intrinsic change relation of multi-frequency-component seismic signals can be deeply excavated, a traditional attenuation
gradient estimation algorithm is expanded to a
potential energy-
wave function domain, the Schrodinger equation is used for estimating the energy attenuation in the
potential energy-wave function domain, and compared with a traditional method for estimating the attenuation gradient through energy high-frequency attenuation in the
frequency domain, the method has higher
identifiability and accuracy and can improve the accuracy and effectiveness of oil and gas indication.
