Coal Geology & Exploration
Background and Purpose Helium is widely applied in high-tech and scientific research fields due to its unique physicochemical properties. Formation water plays a key role in helium migration and enrichment. Typically, in the form of dissolved gas, helium is transported in pores or fractures by formation water. When helium-rich fluids migrate to shallow natural gas reservoirs, helium will experience dissolution and desorption exchange with other gases. This process is affected by formation temperature, pressure, and water salinity, as well as the competitive dissolution between helium and other gases. However, there is a lack of studies on the mechanisms underlying the …

An Improved Mp-Nmo Correction Method Based On Multiparameter Fitting And Its Application, Yang Xiaohui, Yu Pengfei, Zhang Jiawei
Coal Geology & Exploration
Objective and Methods Normal moveout (NMO) correction is a core step in seismic data processing. However, the conventional NMO correction method tends to cause wavelet stretching when processing wide-angle or large-offset seismic data, leading to degraded stacking quality and distorted amplitude variation with offset (AVO) attributes. Although the matching pursuit (MP)-NMO correction method can mitigate the stretching effect, it will cause lateral discontinuity due to overlapping seismic events. Therefore, this study developed an improved MP-NMO correction method based on multiparameter fitting. Specifically, during MP decomposition, cubic polynomial fitting was applied to the amplitude, frequencies, and phases of wavelets from the …
