Abstract

ABSTRACT

Time–frequency analysis plays an important role in seismic interpretation and reservoir identification because it reveals the variation of seismic frequency contents over time. The S‐transform is recognized as an efficient method for seismic time–frequency analysis, but its frequency distribution biases the actual Fourier spectrum due to the linear frequency‐dependent term in the analytical window. In this paper, an improved S‐transform, named adaptive parameterized S‐transform, is proposed for identifying delta sandstone reservoirs. In the proposed method, three parameters are introduced into the S‐transform to better adjust the time–frequency resolution in different frequency bands. Then these parameters are selected adaptively by using the concentration measure to provide a highly energy‐concentrated time–frequency representation for seismic signals. Two synthetic examples validate the effectiveness of the proposed method. Analysis of field seismic data illustrates that it can provide a better reservoir interpretation with a high resolution. Comparisons between the wavelet transform, S‐transform, and modified S‐transform prove the superiority of the proposed method in describing reservoir distribution and decreasing the uncertainty of reservoir detection. This paper presents a complementary approach to current methods for reservoir detection and identification.
