seismic attributes are very useful in seismic data interpretation. one of these attributes is the coherency attribute. seismic coherency is a complex trace and a geometrical attribute that is applied to a 3d cube of seismic data. it is a measure of lateral changes in acoustic impedance caused by the variation in structure, stratigraphy, lithology, porosity, and the presence of hydrocarbons. whe...

seismic coherency is a measure of lateral changes in acoustic impedance that are caused by variations in structure, stratigraphy, lithology, porosity, and fluid content. seismic coherency is a geometrical attribute that establishes temporal and lateral relationships with other attributes. seismic coherency can be defined by coherency attributes. when coherency attributes are applied to seismic ...

The two-dimensional phase congruency algorithm using the log Gabor transform as developed by Kovesi (2003) is used to look for features such as edges and corners on two-dimensional images. In image processing, the algorithm has applications to robot vision and feature enhancement. In seismic analysis, we also look for features on 3D seismic cubes, but the features we look for are structural in ...

We adopt a spectral-element method (SEM) to perform numerical simulations of the complex wavefield generated by the 6 April 2009 Mw 6.3 L’Aquila earthquake in central Italy. The mainshock is represented by a finite-fault solution obtained by inverting strong-motion and Global Positioning System data, testing both 1D and 3D wavespeed models for central Italy. Surface topography, attenuation, and...

faults/fractures detection is an essential step of the full field study in hydrocarbon reservoir. definition of exact location of these structural events is a critical step to optimize location of the development wells. despite of the fast development of the geo science technology and oil industry in recent years, detection of the small geological events such as faults and fractures in some of ...

We show that chemical fixation enables top-down micro-machining of large periodic 3D arrays of protein-encapsulated magnetic nanoparticles (NPs) without loss of order. We machined 3D micro-cubes containing a superlattice of NPs by means of focused ion beam etching, integrated an individual micro-cube to a thin-film coplanar waveguide and measured the resonant microwave response. Our work repres...

Abstract The ray series method may be generalized using a ray centered coordinate system for general 3D-heterogeneous media. This method is useful for Amplitude Versus Offset (AVO) seismic modeling, seismic analysis, interpretational purposes, and comparison with seismic field observations.For each central ray (constant ray parameter), the kinematic (the eikonal) and dynamic ray tracing system ...

Wave atoms are a low-redundancy alternative to curvelets, suitable for high-dimensional seismic data processing. This abstract extends the wave atom orthobasis construction to 3D, 4D, and 5D Cartesian arrays, and parallelizes it in a sharedmemory environment. An implementation of the algorithm for NVIDIA CUDA capable graphics processing units (GPU) is also developed to accelerate computation fo...

any 3d seismic survey can have an acquisition footprint. acquisition footprint is an expression of the surface geometry (most common on land data) that leaves an imprint on the stack of 3d seismic data. often we recognize it as amplitude and phase variations on time slices, which of course display the amplitudes within our data set at a specified two way time (cordsen, 2004). on the other hand,...
