    摘要: Systems and methods which provide electromagnetic subsurface mapping to derive information with respect to subsurface features whose sizes are near to or below the resolution of electromagnetic data characterizing the subsurface are shown. Embodiments operate to identify a region of interest (203) in a resistivity image generated (202) using electromagnetic data (201). One or more scenarios may be identified for the areas of interest, wherein the various scenarios comprise representations of features whose sizes are near to or below the resolution of the electromagnetic data (204). According to embodiments, the scenarios are evaluated (205), such as using forward or inverse modeling, to determine each scenarios' fit to the available data and further to determine their geologic reasonableness (206). Resulting scenarios may be utilized in a number of ways, such as to be substituted in a resistivity image for a corresponding region of anomalous resistivity for enhancing the resistivity image (207).

    摘要: Method for reducing a 3D joint inversion of at least two different types of geophysical data acquired by 3-D surveys (21) to an equivalent set of ID inversions. First, a 3D inversion is performed on each data type separately to the yield a 3-D model of a physical property corresponding to the data type (22). Next, a ID model of the physical property is extracted at selected (x,y) locations. A ID simulator (23) and the ID model of the physical property is then used at each of the selected locations to create a synthetic ID data set at each location (24). Finally, the ID synthetic data sets for each different type of geophysical data are jointly inverted at each of the selected locations, yielding improved values of the physical properties. Because the joint inversion is a ID inversion, the method is computationally advantageous, while recognizing the impact of 3-D effects.

Next, a 1D model of the physical property is extracted at selected (x,y) locations.

    摘要: Method for estimating uncertainty in a physical property model generated by inverting measured geophysical data, for example, a resistivity model inferred from electromagnetic field data. The method involves as few as one data inversion coupled with a number of forward simulation. Alternative solutions (models) are generated by probing a perturbation space defined from a reduced model space, resulting from a principal component decomposition of the inverted model, and selecting some of the larger components. Statistical analysis techniques may be applied (to those alternative solutions remaining after thresholding) to generate quantitative uncertainty estimates applicable to the inverted model.

    摘要: Method for transforming electromagnetic survey data acquired from a subsurface region to a subsurface resistivity model indicative of hydrocarbon accumulations or lack thereof. In one embodiment, data are selected for two or more non-zero frequencies (100), and a structural model of the region is developed based on available geological or geophysical information. An initial resistivity model of the region is developed based on the structural model (101), and the selected data are inverted to update the resistivity model (106) by iterative forward modeling (103) and minimizing an objective function (105) including a term measuring mismatch between model synthesized data and measured survey data, and another term being a diffusive regularization term that smoothes the resistivity model (104). The regularization term can involve a structure or geology constraint, such as an anisotropic resistivity symmetry axis or a structure axis, determined from the a priori information (102).

    摘要: A method, apparatus and computer program for improving the signal-to-noise ratio of a signal S(t), S(t) containing Signal and noise, are disclosed. A measurement of S(t) at a frequency-of-interest is obtained. Noise measurements of S(t) at one or more noise frequencies where the Signal portion of S(t) is expected to be small are obtained. The noise at the frequency-of-interest is estimated using the noise measurements at the one or more noise frequencies. The estimated noise is subtracted from the measurement of S(t) at the frequency-of-interest.

    摘要: Method for identifying, determining and correcting source-related phase errors in data from a controlled source electromagnetic survey by using data from ordinary survey receivers, i.e. without benefit of source monitoring data. Abrupt anomalies indicating source malfunctions are identified (71) in the time domain by plotting time intervals between neighboring zero crossings or by zero-lag cross correlation between consecutive bins of receiver data, and the amount of the time error (73) can be determined by performing cross correlation between two bins on either side of an anomaly. In the frequency domain, transmitter anomalies can be identified by looking for discontinuities in plots of phase vs. offset, and the corrective phase shift can be determined by matching the phase on one side of the anomaly to that on the other side. A global time/phase shift (76) can be determined by using phase frequency-scaling behavior at near offsets.

    摘要: A method of processing seismic data on parallel processors, preferably on a massively parallel processor. The input ot the process is seismic data from one or more of a number of seismic lines. The end product of the invention is a DMO corrected, zero-offset seismic image of the subsurface. By repeating the method on different input offsets, the variation in reflection strength of a reflector as a function of the angle of incidence can be examined. The method includes a two stage parallelization. First, a parallelization over the incoming traces generates a suite of DMO-corrected partial images for each point on each incoming trace. Secondly, a parallelization over output locations accumulates and combines the partial images, and produces output traces.
