    摘要: An exploration paradigm for detecting and/or characterizing gas hydrate deposits using either electromagnetic or seismic surveys, that accounts for the possibility that gas hydrate may accumulate in vertical or subvertical dikes. Geologic factors, such as the presence of the gas hydrate stability zone, indications that a prolific source of gas exists (or existed) below the gas hydrate stability zone and indications that a high flux of gas could be transported into the gas hydrate stability zone, may be considered as part of an exploration strategy. Data may be collected using seismic techniques, such as a walk-away vertical seismic profile techniques, or electromagnetic surveys that are adapted to detecting the presence of vertical or subvertical dikes. In one example, data processing and acquisition techniques may be adapted to detect hydrate dikes, and do not assume a horizontally isotropic earth model.

    摘要: A method of acquiring seismic data that includes deploying a first array of seismic receivers and a second array of seismic receivers, and simultaneously receiving drill noise seismic energy produced as a wellbore is drilled relatively near the first and second arrays of seismic receivers using the first and second array of seismic receivers, wherein the first array of seismic receivers is closer to the source of the drill noise seismic energy than the second array of seismic receivers. A related method for processing seismic data and computer useable media are also described. Also a method of acquiring seismic data that includes deploying a first array of seismic receivers within a borehole, receiving seismic energy produced as a wellbore is drilled relatively near first array using said seismic receivers, and recording seismic data associated with the received seismic energy. A related method for acquiring and processing seismic data is also described.

    摘要: Methods of and apparatus to image one or more subsurface formation features are disclosed. An example method includes generating acoustic waves with a transmitter and receiving the acoustic waves and acoustic data contained therein at one or more receivers. The example method also includes extracting one or more S-S, P-S or S-P reflected waveform data from the acoustic data, estimating a dip of the one or more subsurface formation features, migrating the one or more S-S, P-S or S-P reflected waveform data with the estimated dip and mapping the migrated one or more S-S, P-S or S-P reflected waveform data. In addition, the example method includes identifying one or more permeable subsurface formation features using the mapped migrated one or more S-S, P-S or S-P reflected waveform data.

    摘要: A method for the determination and deconvolution of the signature of an unknown, non-impulsive source signal. The method supposes that that an array of receivers is positioned at the earth's surface to detect and record the seismic signals resulting from the interaction of the source with the earth's subsurface. The traces of data recorded are time-shifted by an amount determined by a coherency analysis of the data. The signal is estimated from the time-shifted data with a weighting factor applied at each trace. A deconvolution filter is determined from the estimate and is weighted at each frequency according to the strength of the source at that frequency. The filter is then applied to the time-shifted data.

    摘要: A technique facilitates performance of seismic profiling, such as three-dimensional vertical seismic profiling. A downhole acquisition system is provided with acoustic receivers designed to receive acoustic source signals. The firing of acoustic source signals is synchronized with the downhole acquisition system. Additionally, the firing of two or more acoustic source signals is controlled to provide simultaneous or nearly simultaneous timing of one acoustic source signal with respect to another acoustic source signal. A processing system is used to acquire and process a data stream of the initial shot and a data stream of the additional shot occurring simultaneously or nearly simultaneously.
