We discuss the use of reverse time migration (RTM) with dense seismic networks for the detection and location of sources of atmospheric infrasound. Seismometers measure the response of the Earth's surface to infrasound through acoustic-to-seismic coupling. RTM has recently been applied to data from the USArray network to create a catalogue of infrasonic sources in the western US. Specifically, ...

Memory and time requirements of seismic calculations demand parallel implementations. One of the most widespread languages applied to this area is Fortran. It includes optimized functionality for scienti c computing. Unfortunately in Fortran, parallel program code is often error prone and lacks maintainability, reusabililty, and portability if Message Passing approaches are used. On the other h...

Abstract. 3D prestack depth migration is an important and commonly used way to obtain the images of complex structures in seismic date processing. In this paper, 3D prestack depth migration with hybrid four-way splitting scheme is investigated. Wavefield extrapolation is based on the 3D acoustic one-way. The hybrid four-way splitting algorithm based on factorization is derived. Numerical calcul...

Abstract Seismic anisotropy exists in various type of strata and should be considered seismic imaging schemes. algorithms based on isotropic assumption neglect the impacts data, which causes migration artifact waveform distortion. To correct effects wave propagation, we propose an algorithm that performs least-squares reverse time vertical transversely acoustic media. We derive following operat...

Using common-image-point gathers (CIPs) instead of conventional image gathers for migration velocity analysis is an efficient approach for analyzing migrated images at locations that are related to geological structures. This approach reduces computational costs and may improve migration velocity analysis by acounting for diving energy. However, manually picking CIP locations is tedious and tim...

The oil and gas industry has an increasingly large demand for high-performance computation over huge volume of data. Compared to common processors, field-programable gate arrays (FPGAs) can boost the computation performance with a streaming computation architecture and the support for application-specific number representation. With hardware support for reconfigurable number format and bit widt...

Quantitative estimates of quality factor Q are useful for a variety of applications, ranging from seismic-acquisition design, to seismic processing, amplitude analysis, and reservoir characterization. However, Q model building, which is conventionally done in the data space using ray-based tomography, is a notoriously challenging problem due to issues like spectral interference, low signal-to-n...
