We discuss three approaches to seismic interferometry and compare their underlying assumptions. In the first approach the reflection response is reconstructed by cross-correlating the responses of many uncorrelated noise sources. In the second approach a depth image is obtained from the response of a single source, recorded by many receivers. In the third approach the Green’s function is recons...

Time-lapse (4D) seismic data sets have proven to be extremely useful for reservoir monitoring. Seismic-derived impedance estimates are commonly used as a 4D attribute to constrain updates to reservoir fluid flow models. However, 4D seismic estimates of P-wave impedance can contain significant errors associated with the effects of seismic noise and the inherent instability of inverse methods. Th...

Coda-wave interferometry is a technique to detect small seismic velocity changes using phase changes in similar waveforms from repeating natural or artificial sources. Seismic interferometry is another technique for detecting seismic velocity changes from cross-correlation functions of ambient seismic noise. We simultaneously use these two techniques to clarify seismic velocity changes at Sakur...

Seismic modeling aids the geophysicists to have a better understanding of the subsurface image before the seismic acquisition, processing, and interpretation. In this regard, seismic survey modeling is employed to make a model close to the real structure and to obtain very realistic synthetic seismic data. The objective of this study is to analyze the resolution and illumination of the fault by...

3D visualization is an important link in seismic data processing and interpretation, and the development of the microcomputer system of 3d visualization software for seismic data is very necessary. This paper uses MFC (Microsoft Programming Interface) and VTK (Visualization Toolkit) building three-dimensional scene, realizing the 3d seismic data field Visualization display system and determinin...

Prestack seismic data carries much useful information that can help us find more complex atypical reservoirs. Therefore, we are increasingly inclined to use prestack seismic data for seismic facies recognition. However, due to the inclusion of excessive redundancy, effective feature extraction from prestack seismic data becomes critical. In this paper, we consider seismic facies recognition bas...

Introduction: Understanding the origin and evolution of planets remains a major challenge since direct interrogation of planetary interiors other than Earth is either limited or not (yet) available. Seismic analyses provide the most detailed picture of present-day internal elastic structure and sources of seismic energy, but collecting seismic data represents a unique logistical challenge which...

Subsurface modeling from seismic and borehole data is important for reservoir prediction, geophysical exploration and production. A reasonable model should honor borehole rock properties and conform to seismic structural and stratigraphic features. Such a subsurface model can be di cult to create in cases complicated by faults and unconformities. Automatic and semi-automatic methods have been p...

This paper presents the formulation of a time-dependent seismic fragility format for bridges, as well as new insights into the potential effects of aging and deterioration on seismic vulnerability traditionally neglected in fragility modeling, including joint impacts of multiple component deterioration not investigated to date. The study evaluates the impact of lifetime exposure to chlorides fr...

based on the convolutional model, a seismic trace is the convolution of seismic source wavelet and reflection coefficient series of the earth. seismic source wavelet estimation is one of the most important stages in processing and interpretation of seismic data. accurate estimation of wavelet increases the efficiency of the deconvolution and temporal resolution of seismic data. on the other han...
