We describe opportunities and challenges for imaging seismic data acquired using conventional marine sources and receivers located on the seafloor. Opportunities include the promise of greater imaging resolution than sea-surface acquisition and processing can offer, especially using P-wave to S-wave converted reflection energy (PS ...

An integrated approach to unconventional resource play reservoir characterization, Thistleton-1 case study, NW England
In this paper, we present a UK case study and draw on lessons learnt from the American market by using mineralogical and textural data obtained by AM and measured TOC to constrain and improve the accuracy of petrophysical modelling. We characterize a UK unconventional ...
High-fidelity Adaptive Curvelet Domain Primary-Multiple Separation
High-fidelity Adaptive Curvelet Domain Primary-Multiple Separation
In this paper, we propose an adaptive implementation scheme for first separating multiples from primary events by a given multiple model in seismic data and subsequently removing the multiples from noisy seismic data using the curvelet transform. Due to the sparseness of seismic data ...
Broadband Data Starts to Unlock the Secrets to Finding Hydrocarbons in the Banda Arc
Broadband Data Starts to Unlock the Secrets to Finding Hydrocarbons in the Banda Arc
The Banda Arc is of great interest to petroleum explorers because of abundant onshore and offshore oil and gas seeps and similarities with geologically contiguous Mesozoic and Cenozoic successions in Australia where numerous petroleum systems exist and have been exploited (the Mesozoic basins are ...
A stable and practical implementation of least-squares reverse time migration
A stable and practical implementation of least-squares reverse time migration
By adapting reverse time migration (RTM) and demigration as the migration and modeling operators to maximize the crosscorrelation between the simulated and the acquired seismic data, we introduced a new practical least-squares RTM (LSRTM) scheme and derived a steepest descent method in seeking the ...
