Evaluation of the geochemistry and hydrochemical quality of Bam salt dome located in southern Iran, was conducted in this study. Two composite samples from salt units were collected and analysed by XRD and XRF to determine their mineral and elemental compositions. Water samples were also collected from the only spring in the area and analysed for major anions, cations and some toxic elements. T...

Introduction Changes in land surface shape in active tectonic  zones result from interplay between tectonic forces and surface processes (Keller and Pinter, 1996; Keller et al., 1999). Salt Domes  are dome-shaped Geological structures whose central core is composed of salt. Their economic importance is due to the location of oil tanks in structures with salt domes and also the presence of sulf...

3-D prestack common-azimuth depth migration has strong potential for accurately imaging complex media and correctly handling multi-pathing. Here, we apply the technique to a North Sea real data containing a salt dome. The results obtained demonstrate the suitability of the method for complex media. A detailed analysis of associated angle-domain common-image gathers shows opportunities for impro...

3-D prestack common-azimuth depth migration has a strong potential for imaging accurately complex media and handling multi-pathing. We apply the technique to North Sea real data for imaging a salt dome. The results obtained demonstrate the efficiency of the method in complex media. A detailed analysis of common-image gathers shows opportunities for improving the velocity model.

Hydrogen can provide a viable source of energy that covers the world’s requirement in next coming years. One major keys to wholly develop hydrogen is safe, cost efficient and compacted type storage. Geological reserves are considered suitable space for In this research, we trying examine if there was any technical potential storage based on Oman’s geology by Identifying geological deposit Oman ...

Applying the fast marching method to solve the eikonal equation on the 3-D SEG/EAGE salt-dome model demonstrates two key features of the method, stability and efficiency. Such an application, also reveals some of the accuracy deficiencies of the Cartesian-coordinate implementation of the fast marching method. The accuracy is improved by applying the fast marching method in spherical coordinates...

Depth imaging techniques still face difficulties under the edges of salt bodies. Elf encountered such a problem in a 3-D survey in the North Sea where they hoped to image a reflector that lays beneath a salt body. Based on the 3-D data, Elf created 2-D synthetic model of the salt body and surrounding subsurface. By analyzing this synthetic model using Kirchoff depth migration and raytracing tec...
