This paper study the recent seismicity in Earthquake hazard zones in India. A large historical earthquake event catalog to cover the period of 1900-2018, the parameters date, time, latitude, longitude, depth and magnitude has been used to calculating frequency-magnitude distribution (b-value) of seismic hazard zones in India. To convert different magnitude scales into a single moment magnitude ...

Often exploration seismic data lacks low and high frequency band signals. The low frequency information provides crucial information about the mean model. Thus, estimation of absolute models using inversion schemes is difficult in case of band limited seismic data. We present a new method to synthesize initial model for inversion of seismic data using autoregressive and moving average modeling....

Compressed sensing (CS) or compressive sampling provides a new sampling theory to reduce data acquisition, which says that compressible signals can be exactly reconstructed from highly incomplete sets of measurements. Very recently, the CS has been applied for seismic exploration and started to compact the traditional data acquisition. In this paper, we present an optimized sampling strategy fo...

Seismic interferometry is a new field in seismology that is finding many useful applications in exploration geophysics (Rickett and Claerbout, 1999; Schuster, 2001; Yu and Schuster, 2006; Wapenaar et al., 2002; Wapenaar, 2004; Wapenaar et al., 2005; Calvert et al., 2004 and others) Analogous to optical interferometry, seismic interferometry estimates the detailed properties of an elastic medium...

A key to reducing the risks and costs of associated with oil and gas exploration is the fast, accurate imaging of complex geologies, such as salt domes in the Gulf of Mexico and overthrust regions in U.S. onshore regions. Prestack depth migration generally yields the most accurate images, and one approach to this is to solve the scalar wave equation using nite diierences. Current industry compu...

this paper describes a methodology for the integration of well logs and a series of grid-based attributes extracted from interpreted seismic data for prediction of porosity distributions. the studied area is located in the southwest iran. before finding a relationship between the target logs and predicted logs from 3d seismic data, we have interpreted the 3d seismic data in the studied area. al...

Seismic imaging has many applications in civil engineering, risk hazard, waste storage monitoring, oil exploration and tectonophysics. Among the different seismic imaging methods the full waveform inversion aims to exploit the full information content of seismic data through the complete resolution of the partial differential wave equation. Once the wave equation has been solved for each seismi...

With the oil and gas industry growing rapidly, increasing the yield and profit require advances in technology for cost-effective production in key areas of reservoir exploration and in oil-well production-management. In this paper we review our group's research into fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) and their applications in the oil industry, especially in the well-logging field. FBG sensors used for...
