Changes in water velocity produce significant 4D noise in time-lapse images. To be addressed accurately, the water-velocity problem requires two major ingredients: 1) water velocity must be estimated accurately at all acquisition times and for all shot/receiver locations, 2) time-variable corrections to the data ...

Data acquired in shallow water environments often exhibit a strong acquisition pattern relating to variations in incidence angle, azimuth and source signature from inner to outer streamers. These variations must be accurately compensated for during processing to reveal a spatially consistent 3D image of ...

A case study of Oligocene-Miocene sediments in East Java Basin, Indonesia. The work look into the depositional setting and paleogeography of subsurface by removing the struture in 3D seismic. The result have been correlated with regional geology and outcrop analog. The work is done ...

The success of any broadband survey is dependent upon the accuracy with which acquisition and environmental factors are compensated for in processing. Such compensation ideally involves directional source designature and deghosting along with receiver deghosting. Traditionally, receiver deghosting is applied in the shot domain ...

Time-lapse (4D) inversions deal with changes in seismic amplitudes and travel-times. This analysis is performed on migrated seismic images, which represent the spatial and time-lapse variability of the medium’s reflectivity. 4D reservoir analysis methods such as inversion and warping need to follow the structure ...

Using pre-stack model-based inversion we will analyze the impact of marine seismic acquisition and processing on our ability to predict elastic parameters.

We demonstrate how we unlocked the potential of one of the last underexplored regions of the South Atlantic margin through smart seismic acquisition, processing technology and close collaboration.

For seismic exploration (i.e. reservoir geophysics), retrieval of body waves appears promising, especially at low frequencies (below 3 Hz) where seismic vibrators reach a limit. These low frequencies are of interest for velocity model building (Baeten et al. 2013) and for broadband seismic inversion ...

The use of broadband data in reservoir characterization has proven advantages. However, the whole workflow should be reviewed and renewed in order to get all the advantages of broadband data.
