Abstract
Microseismic source imaging plays a significant role in passive seismic monitoring. However, such a process is prone to failure due to aliasing when dealing with sparsely measured data. Thus, we propose a direct microseismic imaging framework based on physics-informed neural networks (PINNs), which can generate focused source images, even with very sparse recordings. We use the PINNs to represent a multi-frequency wavefield and then apply inverse Fourier transform to extract the source image. To be more specific, we modify the representation of the frequency-domain wavefield to inherently satisfy the boundary conditions (the measured data on the surface) by means of a hard constraint, which helps to avoid the difficulty in balancing the data and PDE losses in PINNs. Furthermore, we propose the causality loss implementation with respect to depth to enhance the convergence of PINNs. The numerical experiments on the Overthrust model show that the method can admit reliable and accurate source imaging for single- or multiple- sources and even in passive monitoring settings. Compared with the time-reversal method, the results of the proposed method are consistent with numerical methods but less noisy. Then, we further apply our method to hydraulic fracturing monitoring field data, and demonstrate that our method can correctly image the source with fewer artifacts.
