The use of graph-space optimal transport within foil-waveform inversion (FWI) has recently been proposed to enhance robustness to cycle-skipping. In this paper, we discuss several features of the graph-space optimal transport FWI, emphasizing in particular its ability to detect time shifts between modelled and ...

The North West Shelf, situated in Western Australia, is a world-class offshore hydrocarbon province. The presence of hard water bottom, near water bottom reflectors and shallow Tertiary carbonates not only generates strong multiples but also distorts the ray-paths for deeper reflectors. Seismic data quality ...

In the North Sea, water bottom related surface multiples offer one of the largest challenges to a seismic processing project with a careful balance between multiple attenuation and primary preservation required when using a model and subtract approach. For Ocean Bottom Node (OBN) data ...

Stratal geometries, reservoir and source facies are different in true lakes, in lakes with restricted access to the global ocean, and in “lakes” continuously connected to the global ocean but capped by large quantities of freshwater. We illustrate the importance for exploration and development ...

Small-scale heterogeneities create distortions in the wavefield that are usually resolved by Full Waveform Inversion (FWI). When FWI fails (for lack of diving waves or low frequencies), recent works promote the use of targeted stochastic approaches maximizing the stack power. We instead revisit here ...

The quality of time-lapse analysis depends highly on the repeatability of the acquisition. However, in practice, it is almost impossible to perfectly mimic a base survey due to environmental conditions and inaccurate measurements. Lack of repeatability often results in 4D noise, which may compromise ...

Sub-basalt seismic imaging is very challenging due to large impedance contrasts at sediment-basalt interfaces. The impedance of basalt usually gives a strong reflection coefficient at the top of basalt, and thus generates strong multiples. Offshore western India, this issue is compounded by short-period seabed ...

The attenuation of surface related multiples is typically one of the most challenging steps in the processing of shallow water marine projects. Least-squares wave-equation deconvolution imaging is a powerful tool to address this challenge, but images derived from a deep target level may produce ...

The Taranaki Basin is one of New Zealand’s largest basins. Initially forming as a Cretaceous rift basin, it has over 400 exploration and production wells. Early basin history is characterized by extensional fault blocks, and as basin evolution continued, thrusting and inversion associated with ...
