Advanced Volume Visualization Techniques for Seismic Interpretation
In the past ten years, volume rendering tools have been progressively adopted by the geophysical community. The emergence of high-end graphics workstations with 3D texture capabilities made real-time volume rendering possible. Many interactive volume rendering packages are now available for seismic interpretation. However, interpretation is still mostly done in 2D. This is mainly due to the hig...
متن کاملSeismic and Magneto-telluric Imaging for Geothermal Exploration at Jemez Pueblo in New Mexico
A shallow geothermal reservoir in the Pueblo of Jemez in New Mexico may indicate a commercialscale geothermal energy potential in the area. To explore the geothermal resource at Jemez Pueblo, seismic surveys are conducted along three lines for the purpose of imaging complex subsurface structures near the Indian Springs fault zone. A 3-D magneto-telluric (MT) survey is also carried out in the sa...
متن کاملJoint Interpretation of Magnetotelluric and Seismic Models for Exploration of the Gross Schoenebeck Geothermal Site
Due to the non-uniqueness of the inverse problem, the interpretation of geophysical models in terms of geological units is not always straightforward. It is common to use a combination of different geophysical methods to obtain the distribution of independent physical properties over the area of interest in order to discriminate between the different lithologies or geologic units. This kind of ...
متن کاملReconnaissance exploration of potential geothermal sites in Kerman province, using Curie depth calculations
In this paper an indirect method is presented to detect potential geothermal sites in Kerman province, southeast Iran. Geothermal heat flux is one of the main parameters to be investigated in geothermal exploration programs. However, few direct heat flux measurements are available for Iran. Given the proved relation between Curie depths and heat flux, magnetic data can be used to calculate the ...
متن کاملA closer look at rock physics models and their assisted interpretation in seismic exploration
Subsurface rocks and their fluid content along with their architecture affect reflected seismic waves through variations in their travel time, reflection amplitude, and phase within the field of exploration seismology. The combined effects of these factors make subsurface interpretation by using reflection waves very difficult. Therefore, assistance from other subsurface disciplines is needed i...
