The selection of seismic attributes is a key process in reservoir prediction because the prediction accuracy relies on the reliability and credibility of the seismic attributes. However, effective selection method for useful seismic attributes is still a challenge. This paper presents a novel selection method of seismic attributes for reservoir prediction based on the gray relational degree (GR...

Obtaining seismic images with good quality in hardrock environments has been challenging. This condition applies to many mineral explorations using seismic methods including our study area where the data quality is strongly affected by soft, near-surface materials and a reflector with low contrast in rock physical properties. Until recently, no effective processing has been applied to the seism...

The automated processing of multiple seismic signals to detect and localize seismic events is a central tool in both geophysics and nuclear treaty verification. This paper reports on a project begun in 2009 to reformulate this problem in a Bayesian framework. A Bayesian seismic monitoring system, NET-VISA, has been built comprising a spatial event prior and generative models of event transmissi...

One of the main objectives of geophysical seismic analysis is to determine the Earth’s structure. Usually, to determine this structure, geophysicists supplement the measurement results with additional geophysical assumptions. An important question is: when is it possible to reconstruct the Earth’s structure uniquely based on the measurement results only, without the need to use any additional a...

Well-seismic ties allow rock properties measured at well locations to be compared to seismic data, and therefore are useful for seismic interpretation. Numerous methods have been proposed to compute well-seismic ties by correlating real seismograms with synthetic seismograms computed from velocity and density logs. However, most methods tie multiple wells to seismic data one-by-one, and therefo...

Information about reservoir properties usually comes from two sources: seismic data and well logs. The former provide an indirect, low resolution image of rock velocity and density. The latter provide direct, high resolution (but laterally sparse) sampling of these and other rock parameters. An important problem in reservoir characterization is how best to combine these data sets, allowing the ...

this study aims to develop seismic fragility curves for a typical pile-supported wharf. fragility curve is one of the popular tools in seismic performance evaluation of a structure. the software flac2d was used to simulate the seismic performance of the wharf structure. using eight time history records, occurred in past, as seismic loading, incremental dynamic analysis (ida) was applied for sei...

Visual displays in jumping spiders have long been known to be among the most elaborate animal communication behaviours. We now show that one species, Habronattus dossenus, also exhibits an unprecedented complexity of signalling behaviour in the vibratory (seismic) modality. We videotaped courtship behaviour and used laser vibrometry to record seismic signals and observed that each prominent vis...
