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...

Obtaining seismic images with good quality in hardrock environments has been challenging. This condition applies to many mineral explorations using seismic methods including our study area where the data quality is strongly affected by soft, near-surface materials and a reflector with low contrast in rock physical properties. Until recently, no effective processing has been applied to the seism...

detection of subsurface structures by means of gravity method can be used to determine mass distribution and density contrast of rock units. this distribution could be detected by different geophysical methods, especially gravity method. however, gravity techniques have some drawbacks and can't be always successful in distinguishing subsurface structures. performance of the gravity technique co...

Evaluation of active earth pressure in seismic condition is one of the important problems of geotechnical earthquake engineering. In this study the static and seismic active earth pressure exerted by a homogeneous backfill behind a rigid retaining wall is evaluated using Horizontal Slice Method (HSM). Both cohesionless and cohesive soils are considered using c- soil in the formulation. The fai...

There are two main approaches for pore pressure estimation: geological using basin modeling and geophysical using seismic velocity. In this paper, seismic velocity was used for pore pressure estimation. The impact of the input data quality in terms of signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and frequency bandwidth on the accuracy of seismic velocity analysis and, ultimately, the reliability of pore pressur...

Introduction Traditionally, the analysis of seismic data involved looking for continuous events on seismic data, from which structural and stratigraphic features could be mapped. However, we are also interested in mapping discontinuous features such as faults and fractures. A method for identifying these discontinuities was first introduced by Bahorich and Farmer (1995) and called the coherency...
