One of the most effective ways to deal with source-generated coherent noise, which often contaminates seismic reflection records, is to record the data in the field using spatial sampling small enough to avoid aliasing the highest frequency components of the lowest-velocity surface wave energy. The offending noise can then be effectively estimated and removed by application of various processin...

Reservoir modeling is the process of generating numerical representations of reservoir conditions and properties on the basis of geological, geophysical, and engineering data measured on the Earth’s surface or in depth at a limited number of borehole locations. Therefore, reservoir modeling requires an incorporation of the data from a variety of sources, along with an integration of knowledge a...

Numerous methods have been proposed to automatically extract fault surfaces from 3D seismic images, and those surfaces are often represented by meshes of triangles or quadrilaterals. However, extraction of intersecting faults is still a difficult problem that is not well addressed. Moreover, mesh data structures are more complex than the arrays used to represent seismic images, and they are mor...

seismic performance and loss assessment studies for stock of buildings are generally based on representative models due to extremely large number of vulnerable buildings. the main problem is the proper reflection of the building stock characteristics well enough by limited number of representative models. this study aims to provide statistical information of structural parameters of turkish bui...

A method for displaying prestack seismic data that highlights azimuthal anisotropy is shown. Observations of azimuthal anisotropy in prestack seismic data using this and other methods make it clear that azimuthal anisotropy is observed in all types of seismic data, land, marine and multicomponent and it is widespread, from the shallowest to the deepest reflectors. Consequently, anisotropy must ...

Seismic oceanographic studies from various oceans worldwide have indicated that the acoustic reflections are mostly observed along thermal boundaries within the water column. However, the authors present a case study of seismic data from Krishna-Godavari Basin which shows that salinity variations also play an important role in the occurrence of water column reflections. The observed reflection ...

1 ffA, Generator Studios, Trafalgar Street, Newcastle upon Tyne NE1 2LA, UK. * Corresponding author, E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Interpretation of geological features in seismic data is a subjective process, relying on one’s visual perception and experience built up over several years. Based on these human factors, financial decisions are made that may have serious consequences...

On June 15 th , 1995, a M w = 6.3 earthquake struck the western part of the Gulf of Corinth with mainshock epicentre 16 km NNE from Aigion city. The present study presents the application of SAR interferometry (InSAR) techniques for obtaining the co-seismic deformation pattern and inferring the fault model parameters for this seismic event. A second objective is test the Rigo et al., (1996) mod...

We investigate the possibility to extract information contained in seismic waveforms propagating in fluid-filled porous media by developing and using a full waveform inversion procedure valid for layered structures. To reach this objective, we first solve the forward problem by implementing the Biot theory in a reflectivity-type simulation program. We then study the sensitivity of the seismic r...
