The massively parallel nature of Graphics Processing Units has made them an attractive platform for some computationally intensive algorithms. This article presents a method to run 3D Kirchhoff...

The Lower Zubair sand reservoirs have produced or shown oil in several but not all of the wells drilled in western and southeastern Kuwait. Evidence from the available core and log data analysis...

Conventional marine seismic data is affected by the interference from ghosts on both the source and receiver sides. The natural diversity provided by propagation directions, depth variations and...

The Angola basin is characterized by steeply dipping sediments with rapid changes in dip direction particularly in mini-basins between salt bodies. This creates difficulties in anisotropic model...

We develop an efficient scheme of illumination analysis along a target horizon. With this scheme, we can calculate the Directional Illumination (DI) from the sources and the Acquisition Dip Response...

We present a case study of the salt model building for a Gulf of Mexico area with a full azimuth (FAZ) dataset that was created by merging two orthogonal 3D wide azimuth (WAZ) surveys, the Kepler and...

We have developed an enhanced methodology for creating a 3D seismic migration volume from a set of 2D seismic lines. The key challenge is to interpolate coarsely spaced 2D seismic lines into a dense...

In land multi-component (MC) data processing, the orientation of each receiver's horizontal components in the field (H1 and H2) is seldom known accurately. Methods to derive the orientations from...

Broadband seismic data is data that is rich in both low and high frequencies. High frequencies increase temporal resolution, and low frequencies reduce the side lobes of the wavelet. Bandwidth, a...

Innovative uses of seabed seismic technology will help operators glean billions from new and mature fields. High-potential returns with low risk and lower lifetime cost of ownership are increasingly...
