5D interpolation followed by azimuthal prestack migration results in better conditioned gathers for Amplitude Versus Offset (AVO) and Amplitude Versus Azimuth (AVAz) analysis. The data should be prestack migrated prior to AVO or AVAz analysis, but this often proves problematic for land data due to the poor sampling of the data in offset and azimuth. This sparse sampling results in incomplete co...

For laterally complex media, it may be more suitable to take a different orientation of thedisplacement vector of Shear-waves. This may change the sign of several imaginary reflections andconversion coefficients to be used in reservoir characterization and AVO (Amplitude Versus Offset)analysis or modeling. In this new convention the positive direction of the displacement vector ofreflected Shea...

INTRODUCTION The use of hodograms in interpretation of AVO cross-plots is a relatively recent innovation (Keho, 2000). Often, when comparing models of attributes to the actual seismic attributes, we find that anomalous zones are much closer to the background trend than the model indicates. One reason for this concerns wavelet effects. The AVO hodogram takes wavelet effects into account and can ...

The Virtual Observatory is now mature enough to produce cutting-edge science results. The exploitation of astronomical data beyond classical identification limits with interoperable tools for statistical identification of sources has become a reality. I present the discovery of 68 optically faint, obscured (i.e., type 2) active galactic nuclei (AGN) candidates in the two GOODS fields using the ...

A novel inter-disciplinary methodology for the generation of rock property and AVO feasibility maps or cubes to be used in subsurface characterization prospect de-risking is presented. We demonstrate workflow 1D, 2D 3D cases on data from North Sea Barents Sea, offshore Norway. The enables rapid extrapolation expected physics properties away well control along selected horizons, constrained by s...
