Combining the synchrosqueezing generalized S-transform of variational mode decomposition with the Teager-Kaiser energy operator to calculate the attenuation gradient for identifying oil and gas reservoirs

Because of the limited resolution of conventional time–frequency analysis algorithms, they are also limited to calculate attenuation gradients that describe oil and gas reservoirs. We propose an advanced method for calculating the attenuation gradient that combines the synchrosqueezing generalized S-transform of variational mode decomposition with the Teager–Kaiser energy operator. SSVGST takes advantage of the synchrosqueezing generalized S-transform to focus the longitudinal resolution of the time–frequency domain and variational mode decomposition for adaptive signal segmentation in the frequency domain. Thus, SSVGST can be used to improve the time–frequency resolution of seismic signals, and the Teager–Kaiser energy operator is used to enhance the extracted attenuation gradient and highlight oil and gas regions effectively. The time–frequency focusing ability of SSVGST was verified by using a synthetic signal and theoretical model. Experimental results with the model and field data showed that the combination of SSVGST with the Teager–Kaiser energy operator suppressed the fuzzy energy caused by the low resolution of conventional time–frequency analysis algorithms and could locate reservoirs accurately and effectively.
