Large-scale seismic acquisition, versatility, flexibility, automation, and scalability are the objectives of future oil and gas exploration technology. An example of emerging technology for seismic monitoring is distributed acoustic sensing (DAS). The significant amount of data produced by DAS is a challenge that necessitates the development of new technologies for its efficient handling and processing. A typical seismic survey, on the one hand, can generate hundreds of terabytes of raw seismic data per day. The demand for wireless seismic data transmission, on the other hand, remains enormous. The massive amount of data transmission from geophones to the on-site data collection center and its storage poses significant challenges. A lightweight compression procedure is required in order to reduce the data traffic and the storage size at the data center without putting an extra burden on a geophone. In this brief, an efficient implementation of a 1D convolutional neural network (CNN) together with 1-bit adaptive delta modulation is presented for in-field seismic data compression. It is worth mentioning here that the training of CNN is done offline on synthetic data set and hence, the proposed approach has potential for real-time implementation. Furthermore, no assumption on the underlying statistics of noise or the seismic signal is imposed and consequently, the proposed method is suitable for a wide range of seismic data. Furthermore, the proposed method works in the time-domain, unlike existing transform-domain methods, making it suitable for quick diagnosis of bad traces at the data center. Simulation results with real data set reveal that the proposed approach achieves a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of approximately 30 dB with a compression gain of 35: 1. Finally, significant superiority in terms of compression gain and reconstruction quality is demonstrated when compared to the existing methods. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
