Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book deals with the optimization technique of seismic data acquisition parameter. Each aspect of acquisition parameter has been discussed in detail. Chapter-one deals with the general technique of seismic data acquisition and common meaning of some of the terms being used in exploration seismic in on land and offshore areas, particularly about characteristics of source & receiver and acquisition techniques. Chapter-two deals with the optimization of Geometrical Parameters i.e. far-offset distance, near-offset distance, group interval, effective array length, foldage, line orientation and line length. Chapter-three deals with the optimization of Source Parameters. Basic goal of optimization is to have required resolution and signal to noise ratio in the acquired data. For explosive source, shot hole depth, charge size and lithology of the medium surrounding the charge are three parameters which decide the source signature. First of all records with different depths below the weathering layer with equal charge size is taken. Signal to noise ratio and peak frequency of the signal at the main zone of interest is computed. Amplitude spectra of different traces at main zone of interest are also compared for all the records. Record giving highest peak frequency and signal to noise ratio corresponds to optimum depth. Now keeping this depth fixed, charge size is varied and record are taken. Again signal to noise ratio, peak frequency and amplitude spectra are compared and a suitable one is selected on the basis of frequency content and signal to noise ratio. In the case of land airgun, Number of airgun, number of pops and air gun patterns are the main parameters, which decide signal to noise ratio. In the case of Vibroseis, sweep length, end frequencies of the sweep and Vibroseis pattern are the main parameters to be optimized in the field. In marine work marine air gun is the widely used marine seismic source. Peak to peak amplitude, primary to bubble ratio (PBR) and bandwidth of the amplitude spectrum are the deciding parameters for selection of source.Chapter-four deals with the Source/Receiver Array Parameters. Effective array length, element's weighting and spacing are the parameters to be optimized on the basis of desired seismic resolution as well as degree of attenuation of coherent noise. Effectiveness of the array is examined by fold-back experiment and f-k diagram.Chapter-five deals with the Recording System & Quality Control. Silent features have been discussed here, which are essential to be adhered in the field so that objective of the survey is achieved.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book introduces simultaneous source technology and helps those who practice it succeed. Although the book does not include all developments, which would have en­tailed a much longer treatise, this work is written through the lens of decades of experiences and allows readers to understand the development of independent simultaneous sourcing. The relationships between data acquisition and data processing are discussed because never before have they been so intertwined as in this area. In addition to describing the underlying technologies, this book also is a user-guide which discusses survey design and acquisition and decribes the sensitivities of the processing algorithms which can allow simultaneous source technology to succeed. The audience for this book includes acquisition and pro­cessing geophysicists who will work with these data as well as those who require only an overview of the state of the art; and, even though they may not need the full technical details, they may want to know the limitations and advantages of using simultaneous sources.

Book excerpt: Seismic surveys are subject to many different design criteria, but often the parameters are established based on an outdated view of how data can be acquired and how it will be processed. This book highlights what is possible using modern acquisition methods, techniques, and equipment, and how these may impact seismic survey design and acquisition.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 3-D seismic data have become the key tool used in the petroleum industry to understand the subsurface. In addition to providing excellent structural images, the dense sampling of a 3-D survey makes it possible to map reservoir quality and the distribution of oil and gas. Topics covered in this book include basic structural interpretation and map-making; the use of 3-D visualisation methods; interpretation of seismic amplitudes, including their relation to rock and fluid properties; and the generation and use of AVO and acoustic impedance datasets. This new paperback edition includes an extra appendix presenting new material on novel acquisition design, pore pressure prediction from seismic velocity, elastic impedance inversion, and time lapse seismics. Written by professional geophysicists with many years' experience in the oil industry, the book is indispensable for geoscientists using 3-D seismic data, including graduate students and new entrants into the petroleum industry.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the completely updated revision of the highly regarded book Exploration Seismology. Available now in one volume, this textbook provides a complete and systematic discussion of exploration seismology. The first part of the book looks at the history of exploration seismology and the theory - developed from the first principles of physics. All aspects of seismic acquisition are then described. The second part of the book goes on to discuss data-processing and interpretation. Applications of seismic exploration to groundwater, environmental and reservoir geophysics are also included. The book is designed to give a comprehensive up-to-date picture of the applications of seismology. Exploration Seismology's comprehensiveness makes it suitable as a text for undergraduate courses for geologists, geophysicists and engineers, as well as a guide and reference work for practising professionals.
