seismic attributes are very useful in seismic data interpretation. one of these attributes is the coherency attribute. seismic coherency is a complex trace and a geometrical attribute that is applied to a 3d cube of seismic data. it is a measure of lateral changes in acoustic impedance caused by the variation in structure, stratigraphy, lithology, porosity, and the presence of hydrocarbons. whe...

Gas-hydrates are crystalline form of water and methane that form at high pressure and low temperature. They have attracted the global attention due to their wide-spread occurrences in the permafrost and outer continental margins; potential as major energy resources; role in climate change etc. It is estimated that the carbon in gas-hydrates is two times the carbon content in fossil fuel reserve...

Seismic facies analysis (SFA) aims to classify similar seismic traces based on amplitude, phase, frequency, and other seismic attributes. SFA has proven useful in interpreting seismic data, allowing significant information on subsurface geological structures to be extracted. While facies analysis has been widely investigated through unsupervised-classification-based studies, there are few cases...

Well data gives precise information on reservoir properties at specific field locations with high vertical resolution. 3D seismic surveys cover large areas of the field but reservoir properties are not directly observable due to poor vertical resolution. For this paper, a new methodology has been developed and tested for relating reservoir properties at the well-bore to sets of seismic attribut...

This paper describes a new technique, called the empirical mode decomposition (EMD), that allows the decomposition of one-dimensional signals into intrinsic oscillatory modes. The components, called intrinsic mode functions (IMFs), allow the calculation of a meaningful multicomponent instantaneous frequency. Applied to a seismic trace, the EMD allows us to study the di erent intrinsic oscillato...

determination of the thickness of a mountains glacier like alamkooh is very difficult due to its extremely cold climate conditions and high elevation, risk of falling large snow segments or balls and coarse topography of the glacier. in this research, due to the transparency of ice for electromagnetic (em) waves, and also, that ground penetrating radar (gpr) method is non-destructive, fast and ...

in seismic exploration studies different types of techniques are used to recognize seismic features in terms of their temporal and spatial spectra. variations in frequency content are sensitive to subtle changes in reflection information (castro de matos et al., 2003). in this study the joint time-frequency analysis is used for seismic texture recognition. discrete wavelet transform (dwt) witho...
