Download or read book Numerical Methods of Exploration Seismology written by Gary F. Margrave and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2019-01-10 with total page 457 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exploration seismology uses seismic imaging to form detailed images of the Earth's interior, enabling the location of likely petroleum targets. Due to the size of seismic datasets, sophisticated numerical algorithms are required. This book provides a technical guide to the essential algorithms and computational aspects of data processing, covering the theory and methods of seismic imaging. The first part introduces an extensive online library of MATLAB® seismic data processing codes maintained by the CREWES project at the University of Calgary. Later chapters then focus on digital signal theory and relevant aspects of wave propagation and seismic modelling, followed by deconvolution and seismic migration methods. Presenting a rigorous explanation of how to construct seismic images, it provides readers with practical tools and codes to pursue research projects and analyses. It is ideal for advanced students and researchers in applied geophysics, and for practicing exploration geoscientists in the oil and gas industry.
Download or read book Seismic Inversion written by Gerard T. Schuster and published by SEG Books. This book was released on 2017-07-01 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book describes the theory and practice of inverting seismic data for the subsurface rock properties of the earth. The primary application is for inverting reflection and/or transmission data from engineering or exploration surveys, but the methods described also can be used for earthquake studies. Seismic Inversion will be of benefit to scientists and advanced students in engineering, earth sciences, and physics. It is desirable that the reader has some familiarity with certain aspects of numerical computation, such as finite-difference solutions to partial differential equations, numerical linear algebra, and the basic physics of wave propagation. For those not familiar with the terminology and methods of seismic exploration, a brief introduction is provided. To truly understand the nuances of seismic inversion, we have to actively practice what we preach (or teach). Therefore, computational labs are provided for most of the chapters, and some field data labs are given as well.

Book excerpt: Authored by a geophysicist with more than 50 years of experience in research and instruction, Reflection Seismology: Theory, Data Processing and Interpretation provides a single source of foundational knowledge in reflection seismology principles and theory.Reflection seismology has a broad range of applications and is used primarily by the oil and gas industry to provide high-resolution maps and build a coherent geological story from maps of processed seismic reflections. Combined with seismic attribute analysis and other exploration geophysics tools, it aids geologists and geo-engineers in creating geological models of areas of exploration and extraction interest. Yet as important as reflection seismology is to the hydrocarbon industry, it’s difficult to find a single source that synthesizes the topic without having to wade through numerous journal articles from a range of different publishers. This book is a one-stop source of reflection seismology theory, helping scientists navigates through the wealth of new data processing techniques that have emerged in recent years. Provides geoscientists and geo-engineers with a theoretical framework for navigating the rapid emergence of new data processing techniques Presents a single source of reflection seismology content instead of a scattering of disparate journal articles Features more than 100 figures, illustrations, and working examples to aid the reader in retaining key concepts Arms geophysicists and geo-engineers with a solid foundation in seismic wave equation analysis and interpretation
Download or read book Topics in Numerical Analysis II written by John J.H. Miller and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2012-12-02 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Topics in Numerical Analysis II contains in complete form, the papers given by the invited speakers to the Conference on Numerical Analysis held under the auspices of the National Committee for Mathematics of the Royal Irish Academy at University College, Dublin from 29th July to 2nd August, 1974. In addition, the titles of the contributed papers are listed together with the names and addresses of the authors who presented them at the conference. This book is divided into 20 chapters that present the papers in their entirety. They discuss such topics as applications of approximation theory to numerical analysis; interior regularity and local convergence of Galerkin finite element approximations for elliptic equations; and numerical estimates for the error of Gauss-Jacobi quadrature formulae. Some remarks on the unified treatment of elementary functions by microprogramming; application of finite difference methods to exploration seismology; and variable coefficient multistep methods for ordinary differential equations applied to parabolic partial differential equations are also presented. Other chapters cover realistic estimates for generic constants in multivariate pointwise approximation; matching of essential boundary conditions in the finite element method; and collocation, difference equations, and stitched function representations. This book will be of interest to practitioners in the fields of mathematics and computer science.
Download or read book Problems with a Localized Nature in Exploration Seismology written by Lucas Abraham Willemsen and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A wide range of problems in seismology have a localized nature. Examples include inversion for time-lapse change, salt boundary position and Amplitude or Phase Versus Angle (AVA/PVA). With increasing computational power, many inversion procedures have transitioned away from forward models with simplified physics and now simulate synthetic wavefields on a model representation of the Earth. These simulated wavefields form the basis for the model updates in the inversion. Usually these wavefields are simulated on the entire computational model, even though the region of interest and the associated updates of the computational model are localized. In this thesis I explore ways of making use of the localized nature of the inversion by limiting the wavefield generation to the region of interest. This shrinking of the computational domain leads to faster solutions, reducing the time between the start and finish of the local inversion. This shorter turn-around time facilitates decision making and improves the interactivity of the inversion procedure. I first introduce a frequency domain local solver which can generate exactly the same wavefields as a full domain solver. I then apply this local solver to both a time-lapse problem and to salt boundary inversion. I then take a step back and look at time-lapse inversion outside the scope of local solvers. By looking at differences in the Full Waveform Inversion (FWI) gradient obtained from baseline and monitor datasets I compute a confidence map of locations likely to contain time-lapse change. This confidence map is then used to regularize a joint inversion for both the baseline and monitor datasets. I compare this methodology to other existing time-lapse algorithms on a synthetic North Sea model. In this study I notice the importance of post-critical reflections and become aware of their potential for reservoir characterization. Motivated by this observation I introduce a local solver for simulating elastic reflections in a region of interest. These elastic reflections can then be used for AVA and PVA to for instance invert for reservoir characteristics. The wavefield is efficiently propagated through the overburden using precomputed acoustic Green’s functions obtained from a cheap acoustic solver.
