Abstract
Summary Reflectivity estimation aims to enhance the resolution of seismic data, providing crucial support for the detailed inversion of reservoir parameters. We propose a method that combines supervised pre-training with synthetic data and physics-guided fine-tuning in field data to estimate reasonable reflectivity from seismic data. Initially, a U-shaped network is pre-trained by supervised learning on a large amount of synthetic seismic data. Subsequently, multiple geophysically meaningful constraints including structure-oriented smoothness, reflectivity sparsity, and data reconstruction, are introduced to formulate a self-supervised or unsupervised learning mechanism to fine-tune the pre-trained model so that it is better adapted to field data for obtaining more reasonable reflectivity. The pre-trained model provides an initial reflectivity that aligns with fundamental structural features. Based on the initial estimate, the model is further optimized through physics-guided fine-tuning to obtain a more reasonable reflectivity estimation that better reflects the characteristics of the field data and geophysical priors. Furthermore, the well-log-based correlation evaluation metric is applied to automatically and adaptively determine the early-stopping point of the fine-tuning process where favorable results are achieved. Experiments on synthetic and field seismic data confirm that the proposed method yields reasonable and high-resolution reflectivity estimation.
