An improvement in RTM method to image steep dip petroleum bearing structures and its superiority to other methods

In this paper, first the limitations of the ray-based method and the one-way wave-field extrapolation migration (WEM) in imaging steeply dipping structures are discussed by some examples. Then a new method of the reverse time migration (RTM), used in imaging such complex structures is presented. The proposed method uses a new wave-field extrapolator called the Leapfrog-Rapid Expansion Method (L...

Seismic imaging using internal multiples and overturned waves

Incorporating overturned waves and multiples in seismic imaging is one of the most plausible means by which imaging results might be improved, particularly in regions of complex subsurface structure such as salt bodies. Existing migration methods, such as Reverse Time Migration, are usually designed to image solely with primaries, and so do not make full use of energy propagating along other wa...

Petrophysical and durability tests on sandstones for the evaluation of their quality as building stones using Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP)

Due to their widespread availability, sandstones are commonly used as a natural stone for buildings, monuments and sculptures. In thecurrent study, nine sandstone samples from the Upper Red Formation (specified by the letters A, B, C, CG, S, S1, Sh, Tr and Min)were studied from a petrophysical point of view and their durability was evaluated. Then, their suitability as building stones wasassess...

Reverse Time Migration Using Vector Offset Output to Improve Subsalt Imaging – A Case Study at the Walker Ridge GOM

Technology advances, such as WAZ/FAZ acquisition, reverse time migration (RTM) and iterative salt imaging in model building, have greatly improved subsalt image quality. However subsalt imaging under complex salt overburden is still challenging. The fundamental issue lies with the imperfect illumination from limited acquisition. In the poor illumination zones, the migration artifacts and cohere...

Estimating the durability of building stones against Salt crystallization: considering the physical properties and strength characteristics

Salt crystallization is one of the most important weathering agents and may limit the durability of building stones. Salt crystallization induces stresses inside the pores of stones. Consequently, stone durability is closely related to its physical properties and strength. The purpose of this study was to propose a statistical model for estimating stone durability against salt crystallization c...
