Seismic attribute sensitivity to velocity uncertainty
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper explores the relationship between velocity uncertainty and AVO-related seismic attributes in a dataset from the Blake Outer Ridge, offshore from Florida and Georgia. From an initial velocity model, several realizations were generated that are perturbations of the original velocity model. Prestack wave-equation migration was applied to the data for each velocity realization. In the migrated CMP gathers, velocity coherence was measured by applying semblance analysis. Also, several seismic attributes were calculated in the migrated CMP gathers, including AVO intercept, AVO gradient, and near far offset stack. Preliminary results from attribute versus velocity coherence crossplots at the range of CMPs studied suggest that, for the case of maximum semblance coherence measurements, attribute values are more dispersed for lower coherence values and more localized for higher coherence values. These results are not definitive, and further work is needed to improve the velocity coherence measures.

Identification of Gas Accumulation Adjacent to the Gas Hydrate Bearing Zone by Inversion Utilizing AVO Attribute
The presence of gas hydrate and associated gas in the Makran Accretionary Prism, offshore Iran, has been confirmed by various seismic indicators, including the bottom-simulating reflector (BSR), amplitude blanking, and bright spot. The pre-stack analysis and the study of amplitude-variation-with-offset (AVO) attributes are the most reliable tools for semi-quantitative study of gas hydrate and f...
متن کاملA RELIABILITY APPROACH TO COMPARE OPTIMAL SEISMIC DESIGNS OF MULTIPLE-TUNED-MASS-DAMPER
Passive systems are preferred tools for seismic control of buildings challenged by probabilistic nature of the input excitation. However, other types of uncertainty still exist in parameters of the control device even when optimally tuned. The present work concerns optimal design of multiple-tuned-mass-damper embedded on a shear building by a number of meta-heuristics. They include well-known g...

This study discusses a new workflow for fracture characterization and modeling using geophysical (microseismic and 3D surface seismic) data along with independent reservoir information (such as well logs). The framework is ideally suited for unconventional environments such as shale and tight reservoirs where modern technologies such as the use of hydraulic fracturing and passive seismic monito...
متن کاملUncertainty Maps for Seismic Images through Geostatistical Model Randomization
Much of the difficulties in characterizing complex reservoirs are related to the uncertainty associated with seismic interpretation. In this project, we examine two such sources: uncertainty in the velocity model, and ambiguities with expert interpretation due to conceptual geological uncertainty of reservoir structure. We address the first issue by presenting a geostatistical method for genera...
متن کاملJoint location of microseismic events in the presence of velocity uncertainty
The locations of seismic events are used to infer reservoir properties and to guide future production activity, as well as to determine and understand the stress field. Thus, locating seismic events with uncertainty quantification remains an important problem. Using Bayesian analysis, a joint probability density function of all event locations was constructed from prior information about pickin...
