A method for 3D modeling and interpretation of log properties from complex seismic attributes (obtained from 3D post stack seismic data) is developed by integrating Principal Component Analysis and Local Linear Modeling. Complex seismic attributes have non-linear relationships with petrophysical properties of rocks. These complicated relationships can be approximated using statistical methods. ...

The time-arrival location of seismic P-wave is an important problem in the seismic research field. The modulus maxima of wavelet transform is a useful method for picking up the singularities of function. For applying the modulus maxima method to investigate the arrival time, it is necessary to eliminate the influence of random factors. Based on standard deviation, we present a method to reduce ...

[1] Using a hybrid MPI/OpenMP parallel finite element method for spontaneous rupture and seismic wave propagation simulations, we investigate features in rupture propagation, slip distribution, seismic radiation, and seafloor deformation of the 2011 Mw 9.0 Tohoku-Oki earthquake to gain physical insights into the event. With simplified shallow dipping (10 ) planar fault geometry, 1D velocity str...

the goal of this laboratory study is to investigate the effect of pore shapes on seismic wave velocities in carbonate rocks under reservoir conditions. in this research, 41 core plugs of carbonate rocks from oil fields of the southwest of iran were prepared. the compressional and shear wave velocities were measured in both dry and brine saturated samples under several pressures especially reser...

the mapping of the crust-mantle boundary surface is an important geophysical task, which the method of seismic profiling has dealt with profitably. there are, however, areas where the crustal structure is not known up to the present, and where the moho has as yet not been determined by geophysical sounding. in such areas the isostatic theory may be applied to give a first estimate of the depths...

One of the most effective ways to deal with source-generated coherent noise, which often contaminates seismic reflection records, is to record the data in the field using spatial sampling small enough to avoid aliasing the highest frequency components of the lowest-velocity surface wave energy. The offending noise can then be effectively estimated and removed by application of various processin...

A geostatistically-based inverse technique, the sequential-self calibration (SSC) method, is used to update reservoir models so that they match observed pressure, water cut and time-lapse water saturation derived from 4-D seismic. Within the SSC, a steady-state genetic algorithm (GA) is applied to search the optimal master point locations, as well as the associated optimal permeability perturba...

Introduction: Pregnancy poisoning or preeclampsia is a serious and specific disorder of pregnancy that affects 8% of the pregnant women. Similar studies conducted in this regard showed disagreements about the association between the vitamin D deficiency and preeclampsia. Hence, due to different results and limited sشtudies in this area, the present study was conducted to evaluate the serum leve...
