The conventional Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) method is limited to the selected shape and size of proposal distribution and is not easy to start when the initial proposal distribution is far away from the target distribution. To overcome these drawbacks of the conventional MCMC method, two useful improvements in MCMC method, adaptive Metropolis (AM) algorithm and delayed rejection (DR) algor...

SUMMARY Wavelet estimation plays an important role in many seismic processes like impedance inversion, amplitude versus offset (AVO) and full waveform inversion (FWI). Statistical methods of wavelet estimation away from well control are a desirable tool to support seismic signal processing. One of these methods based on Homomorphic analysis has long intrigued as a potentially elegant solution t...

SUMMARY Seismic inversion of amplitude versus offset (AVO) data in viscoelastic media can potentially provide high-resolution subsurface models seismic velocities and attenuation from offset/angle gathers. P- S-wave quality factors (Q), whose inverse represent a measure attenuation, depend on reservoir rock pore fluid properties, particular, saturation, permeability, porosity, viscosity litholo...

There are a variety of methods that can be used to extract rock-properties information from seismic data. Three of the methods that can be used, include; 1. AVO analysis, followed by post-stack inversion of the AVO attributes (Goodway, et al.) 2. Prestack inversion of the P-wave data directly to impedance (Hampson et al.) 3. Joint prestack inversion of the P-wave data and converted wave data di...

avo theory was introduced around 20 years ago. in recent years, this technique was become to a major tool in hydrocarbon sources exploration. by the help of this method with the suitable understanding from underground layers and knowing how to use this technology, quantitative specifications of reservoir can be recognized. avo analysis is a seismic technique that by using of pre-stack data, est...

Seismic amplitudes contain important information which can be related to fluid saturation. The amplitude-versus-offset (AVO) analysis of seismic data based on Gassmann’s theory and approximation of the Zoeppritz equations, has played an central role in reservoir characterization. However, this standard technique faces a long standing problem, its inability to distinguish between partial gas and...

Abstract The conventional Amplitude variation with offset (AVO) inversion has been mainly developed for the isotropic media and therefore it is generally inapplicable to anisotropic fractured formations. A set of tilted fractures in medium can be regarded as a transversely (TTI) medium. reflection coefficient equation TTI contains many parameters such parameters, velocities, azimuth dip angles....

In order to estimate elastic parameters of the subsurface, geophysicists need reliable information about angle-dependent reflectivity. In this paper, we describe how to image nonzero offsets during shot-profile migration so that they can be mapped to the angle domain with Sava and Fomel’s (2000) transformation. CIGs also contain information about how well focused events are at depth, and so pro...
