Seismic Inversion methods have been routinely used for estimating attributes like P-impedance, Simpedance, density, ratio of P-wave and S-wave velocity and elastic impedances from seismic and well log data. These attributes help to understand lithology and fluid contents in the subsurface. The objective of this research is to use several standard seismic post-stack inversion methods for reservo...

as partial offset volumes to exploit the AVO information in the data. However, there has been significant asymmetry in the way these volumes could be calibrated and inverted. The amplitudes of near-offset, or intercept, stacks relate to changes in acoustic impedance and can be tied to well logs using synthetics based on acoustic impedance (AI) or inverted, to some extent, back to AI using posts...

Recently, multi-trace impedance inversion has attracted great interest in seismic exploration because it improves the horizontal continuity and fidelity of results by exploiting lateral structure information strata. However, computational inefficiency affects its practical application. Furthermore, terms vertical constraints on model parameters, only considers smooth features while ignoring sha...

Prestack migration is necessary before AVO analysis. Most of the present migration algorithms not only try to focus the reflections on the subsurface but also strive to preserve the amplitude for subsequent amplitude studies. A migration/inversion method developed by Lumley (1993) estimates the angle dependent reflectivity at each subsurface point by using least-squares Kirchhoff migration foll...

Elastic impedance (EI) inversion for partial angle stack seismic data is a key technology in reservoir prediction within the oil and gas industry. EI provides consistent framework to invert data, just as AI does post-stack data. The commonly used process by angle. Hence, inverted different angles may be nonconforming, especially with low signal-to-noise ratio. This paper proposes simultaneously...

Abstract. This paper deals with robust H∞ force and impedance control of series elastic actuators. It is considered that the series elastic actuators are subject to parametric uncertainties and external disturbances. Robust controllers based on the H∞ criterion have been widely used among robotic applications for guaranteeing good disturbance rejection properties. The H∞ force and impedance con...

This paper deals with force and impedance control of series elastic actuators for driving the joints of an exoskeleton for lower limbs. Series elastic actuators are devices where elastic components are introduced between the motor’s output and the load. From the deflection of these components, it is possible to measure the force applied to the load and to control it. Also, the mechanical impeda...
