s the use of 3D seismic interpretation continues to become part of the main stream work process with the industry, visualization techniques also continue to evolve as software and hardware improves. In the past 10 years, volume rendering tools have been progressively adopted by the geophysical community as the emergence of high-end graphics workstations with 3D texture capabilities made real-ti...

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...

Introduction High-resolution seismic reflection has been successfully used to delineate preferential pathways within groundwater systems that represent corridors for contaminant movement in a wide variety of challenging hydrologic settings, many in settings where other methods and/or monitor wells have not been enlightening. For more than four decades, seismic reflection has found utility addre...
