Abstract
Distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) has emerged as a transformational technology for seismic data acquisition. However, noise remains a major impediment, necessitating advanced denoising techniques. This study pioneers the application of diffusion models, a type of generative model, for DAS vertical seismic profile (VSP) data denoising. The diffusion network is trained on a new generated synthetic dataset that accommodates variations in the acquisition parameters. The trained model is applied to suppress noise in synthetic and field DAS-VSP data. The results demonstrate the model’s effectiveness in removing various noise types with minimal signal leakage, outperforming conventional methods. This research signifies diffusion models’ potential for DAS processing.
