| contents | Time-lapse full-waveform inversion (FWI) has become a powerful tool for characterizing and monitoring subsurface changes in various geophysical applications. However, non-repeatability (NR) issues caused, for instance, by GPS inaccuracies, often make it difficult to obtain unbiased time-lapse models. In this work we explore the portability of combining a receiver-extension FWI approach and Bayesian analysis to mitigate time-lapse noises arising from NR issues. The receiver-extension scheme introduces an artificial degree of freedom in positioning receivers, intending to minimize kinematic mismatches between modeled and observed data. Bayesian analysis systematically explores several potential solutions to mitigate time-lapse changes not associated with reservoir responses, assigning probabilities to each scenario based on prior information and available evidence. We consider two different subsurface models to demonstrate the potential of proposed approaches. First, using the Marmousi model, we investigate two NR scenarios associated with background noise in seismic data. Second, using a challenging deep-water Brazilian pre-salt setting, we investigate several NR scenarios to simulate real-world challenges. Our results demonstrate that combining Bayesian analysis with the receiver-extension FWI strategy can mitigate adverse NR effects successfully, producing cleaner and more reliable time-lapse models than conventional approaches. The results also reveal that the proposed Bayesian weighted procedure is a valuable tool for determining time-lapse estimates through statistical analysis of pre-existing models, allowing its application in ongoing time-lapse (4D) projects. |
