Seismic interferometry allows one to create a virtual source inside a medium, assuming a receiver is present at the position of the virtual source. We discuss a method that creates a virtual source inside a medium from reflection data measured at the surface, without needing a receiver inside the medium and, hence, presenting and advantage over seismic interferometry. In addition to the reflect...

In this paper, a data compression technology-based intelligent data acquisition (IDAQ) system was developed for structural health monitoring of civil structures, and its validity was tested using random signals (El-Centro seismic waveform). The IDAQ system was structured to include a high-performance CPU with large dynamic memory for multi-input and output in a radio frequency (RF) manner. In a...

Varied data types including geophysical data as well as well logs have been used frequently in the past to characterize reservoirs. However, the use of microseismic data as a potential source of useful information and its integration with conventional seismic data for reservoir characterization is an area of opportunity where properties predicted from the microseismic data can be used as a vita...

Subsurface characterization activities undertaken in collaboration with the Southwest Regional Carbon Sequestration Partnership on their San Juan Basin pilot test include acquisition of geophysical logs, time lapse VSP and analysis of 3D seismic data from the site. The project is funded by the U.S. Department of Energy and is managed by the National Energy Technology Laboratory.CO2 injection be...
