Abstract

The problem of detecting the hydrocarbon deposits in the heterogeneous media is very important and difficult for solving. We suppose the grid-characteristic method of the third order of accuracy for solving the problem of the direct modeling of the seismic waves spread in such a medium with the presence of gas cavities and without them. The numerical method used in all the computations is described in detail. We present the results of modeling, the wave fields of the normal component of the seismic velocity, and the seismograms for the models of the heterogeneous media with several gas cavities and without them. The results demonstrate the possibility of detecting the seismic reflections from the geological layers and gas cavities. In the previous work, we solved a problem of modeling the seismic waves spread through the heterogeneous media with the use of the transparent method, which also showed the correct results. In this work, we carry out the comparative analysis of the previous results with the new ones. The grid-characteristic method of the third order of accuracy and the transparent method are both appropriate for solving the described problem in general. However, the results, which were obtained using the grid-characteristic method of the third order of accuracy under consideration the contact conditions between the geological layers, demonstrate the clearer seismic reflections and the more accurate velocity meanings near the contact boundaries between different media respect to the transparent method, which does not consider any contact conditions between the geological layers.
