Application of least-squares Kirchhoff migration (LSM) to synthetic reverse vertical seismic profile data (RVSP) demonstrates that LSM reduces the migration artifacts, improves the image resolution and produces a more accurate image than the standard migration, but cannot completely recover the model reflectivity for AVO analysis because of the limited data coverage. The influence of incomplete...

Tight, low-porosity reservoirs can produce significant amounts of hydrocarbons if fracture networks provide the necessary permeability. Characterization of naturally fractured reservoirs using surface seismic data is an important exploration problem that has attracted much attention in the literature. TLE, for example, had an entire issue (August 1996) on this subject. While the data and modeli...

Abstract The frequency-dependent amplitude-versus-offset (FAVO) method has become a practical for fluid detection in sand reservoirs. At present, most FAVO inversions are based on the assumption that reservoirs isotropy, but application effect is not satisfactory fractured Hence, we analyse frequency variation characteristics of anisotropy parameters tight sandstone new petrophysical model, and...

1. A family of structurally related but genetically distinct natriuretic peptides exist which include atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) of myocardial cell origin and C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) of endothelial and renal epithelial cell origin. All three exert actions via cGMP, with ANP and BNP functioning via the natriuretic peptide A receptor and CNP via ...

We present a sampling free probabilistic inversion of latent target property based on the principles expectation propagation where we estimate joint distribution variable in local region. The prior model matches focused region but integrates out parameters outside focus using approximate distributions. includes large spatial structure information while maintaining dimension small. In addition, ...

Abstract The fracture direction and its intensity are critical properties related to hydrocarbon characterization identification. Both these have an essential role in identifying the of migration, determining sweet spot area, optimizing drilling design. velocity variation with azimuth (VVAz) is a well-known method estimate intensity. This widespread interest because it predicts based on seismic...
