    摘要: A method of processing seismic data that includes including first and second modes of seismic energy where the second mode has been generated by partial mode conversion of the first mode at a boundary face of a layer of the seabed includes the step of cross-correlating a trace acquired at a receiver and including events corresponding to the first mode with a trace acquired at the same receiver and including events corresponding to the second mode. An event in the cross-correlated data that corresponds to partial mode conversion is identified, and the amplitude of this event is normalized, for example relative to the amplitude of the peak in the cross-correlogram at zero time delay. Information about the effects of the static shift produced by the layer and/or about vector infidelity can be arrived from normalized cross-correlograms for receivers in a receiver array.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for imaging subsurface fractures using an ST plane for quick looks and quality checks at the wellsite. Incident angles of impinging acoustic waves with respect to receivers are estimated from actual and apparent slowness, and the position of the fracture is estimated from the travel time and incident angle. The fracture can be imaged by plotting values from the ST plane onto the position of the fracture.

    摘要: The present invention provides for a method of processing mode converted seismic data. The method comprises acquiring seismic data and determining a P-wave velocity model for the seismic data. An S-wave velocity model is determined from the P-wave velocity model. The mode converted seismic data are depth migrated forming CIP mode converted seismic data gathers. Corrected S-wave velocities are determined from near-offset data of the CIP gathers which corrects the depth migrated mode converted seismic data to the P-wave velocity model depth. A correction factor is provided and the iterating with the method quickly converges to a solution. This invention provides an efficient method of updating the shear wave velocity model for prestack depth migration of mode-converted data.

    摘要: The present invention relates to an improved method and system for computing residual statics on shear wave seismic data. The invention uses pilot traces, which are a function of CDP, offset, and azimuth, to resolve shear wave data in the presence of any anisotropy. Statics determinations are made that are not velocity error dependent; the need for CMP to CCP transformations is eliminated. The present invention also relates to a method and apparatus for removing regional anisotropy effects. The present invention, in one embodiment, determines statics for shear wave seismic data by binning seismic data in a bin defined by CDP information, azimuth information and offset information, where a set of binned traces is defined; generating a pilot trace from the set of binned traces; cross-correlating the pilot trace with the binned traces; determining shot statics dependent on the cross-correlation; and determining receiver statics dependent on the cross-correlation.

    摘要: A system and method of creating a filter for use with locally dense seismic data is disclosed. The method includes obtaining survey geometry characteristics from a locally dense seismic survey. A filter is designed which uses spatial derivatives of the wavefield of order between (1) and the maximum order of spatial derivatives of the wavefield that can be estimated within a group. The filter can be designed so as to separate up/down going components, p/s components, or both up/down and p/s components. Partial derivatives in space and time of the wavefield can be calculated, using, for example, a taylor series expansion as an approximation. The seismic data is filtered by combining estimated near surface material properties, the seismic data, and the calculated partial derivatives.

    摘要: The instant invention is generally directed toward methods of using an AVO-type analysis on unstacked seismic data to identify subsurface exploration prospects. More particularly, a new method of identiflying and displaying converted mode seismic reflections is provided that has significant advantages over that in the prior art. Additionally, the instant invention can be used to attenuate or eliminate seismic reflections such as multiples that are not flattened by conventional velocity analysis. Further, a method is disclosed that provides for identification and display of only those seismic reflections deemed consistent with the usual or expected AVO behavior. Finally, another aspect of the instant invention involves the use of statistical goodness of fit measures, such as the Coefficient of Determination, to create a seismic display that is indicative of the degree to which each time slice in a gather conforms to a proposed AVO model.

    摘要: Method is provided for determining the orientation or horizontal geophones used in marine seismic surveying. First-arrival signals are processed by rotating a coordinate system mathematically until the signal from the transverse receiver has minimum energy. The amount of rotation is used to calculate, from the known azimuth from the source, any misalignment of the horizontal geophone as the receiver is placed on the ocean bottom.

    摘要: A method of migrating seismic data using offset checkshot survey measurements. The offset checkshot survey measurements involve raypaths similar to the migration raypaths for the seismic data, and are used to determine direct arrival traveltimes to receivers in a borehole. Embodiments of the invention provide for direct use of the traveltimes in migration, or indirect use of the traveltimes in migration via construction of a migration velocity model. The velocity model embodiments further provide for either traveltime error correction via use of interpolated error functions or construction of migration error tables. The invention can be employed for time, depth or Kirchhoff migration, in either two or three dimension, and in either prestack or poststack applications. The invention may be used to migrate any type of seismic data, including compressional-wave, shear-wave, and converted-wave seismic data.

    摘要: Method for processing converted mode seismic data. Compressional and converted compressional to shear wave data is acquired by generating compressional energy into a subsurface formation and recording the amplitude of reflections as a function of time at spaced locations along a line of exploration. A series of compressional to shear wave velocity (Vp/Vs) ratios are selected based on an analysis of the acquired seismic data and the shear wave velocity for each Vp/Vs ratio is determined according to the following relationship: ##EQU1## where k=Vp/Vs. Data corresponding to each Vp/Vs ratio is stacked together, the series of stacks are correlated to the originally acquired seismic data to determine the actual Vp/Vs ratio for the formation and the shear wave velocity is derived. The originally collected data is then corrected for normal moveout and stacked.
