below a basalt layer. However, due to shape irregularities and het erogeneities with high velocity contrasts around and within the basalts, it can be challenging for seismic processing to image the base of the basaltic layer and details of what is below . [For example, s ee Fliedner and White (2001) ].

Event-based sub-basalt imaging applied to marine seismic data from north of Shetland, UK. Norwegian Journal of Geology vol 88, pp 167-183. Trondheim 2008. ISSN 029-196X Seismic wave propagation in media with high-velocity layers (basalts) can be described as an interference of various events commonly referred to as wave types or modes.

Jan 12, 2017· GeoTomo's GeoThrust 2D/3D seismic data processing software is now a mature system -- it has been in use by major oil companies, national oil companies, and service companies for more than twelve years. GeoThrust's workflow architecture provides the full freedom and flexibility for the user to follow any desired processing sequence.

Abstract Imaging below the basalt for hydrocarbon exploration is a global problem because of poor penetration and significant loss of seismic energy due to scattering, attenuation, absorption and mode-conversion when the seismic waves encounter a highly heterogeneous and rugose basalt layer.

A seismic line displayed in GEO ExPro caught the interest of a dedicated geologist as he spotted a pattern that resembled that of a major oil discovery he knew very well. His observation eventually led to Chevron's application in the Norwegian 20th licensing round for acreage that may include a large prospect along the North Atlantic Volcanic Margin.

Sub-Basalt Imaging West of Shetland. In order to achieve sufficient bandwidth in areas where high frequencies are limited, it is necessary to extend the low frequencies. Lower frequencies are affected less by attenuation, and provide greater accuracy and stability for seismic inversion.

Improving Seismic Data Quality by Reprocessing and Redesign of a 3D Survey in an Area of Chaotically-scattered Source-generated Noise ... the strength of the primary wavefield that transmits downwards through the layers of basalt is dramatically reduced due to the strong reflectivity of the basalt layers. ... He started processing in the early ...

Further, there can be strong inhomogeneities within the salt/basalt. That makes it difficult to reconstruct a structural image of the subsurface below the top salt/basalt interface. Determining the thickness and structure of sediment packages covered by a layer of salt or basalt is very challenging using seismic .

Mar 16, 2018· Imaging below the basalt for hydrocarbon exploration is a global problem because of poor penetration and significant loss of seismic energy due to scattering, attenuation, absorption and mode-conversion when the seismic waves encounter a highly heterogeneous and rugose basalt layer. The conventional (short offset) seismic data acquisition, processing and modeling techniques adopted by .

quence of basalt flows originating from a series of vents. The final site, Mountain Home, is located in a fault-bounded sed-imentary basin with both surface and buried basalt layers. Here, we discuss surface and borehole results using vertical seismic profiling (VSP) and surface seismic methods to show

Multifocusing Seismic Processing to Improve Poor Response Areas below Basalt Layers, Canadon Asfalto Basin, Argentina Conference Paper (PDF Available) · .

It is thus understandable that considerable time and effort is expended in any processing project on the final parameters of seismic display so as to satisfy the individual tastes of the interpreter. Such things as frequency content, gain, trace spacing, and type of display are all up for grabs (see "Displaying seismic .

meters of basalt, rhyolite, and sediments of Cenozoic age. In some areas within the Snake River Plain, as much as 1 km of interbedded basalt and sediments lies on top of older, rhyolitic volcanic rocks (Walker, 1964). The basalt flows in the upper 150 m of the Snake River Plain are mostly compound pahoehoe flows, 3-to-5-m

A specific case, which is of great interest to petroleum exploration companies, occurs on continental shelf areas where potentially hydrocarbon-bearing strata are overlain by extensive extrusive igneous rocks. In this situation, standard seismic processing is often unable to resolve the structure beneath such basalt layers.

Effect of flood basalt stratigraphy on the phase of seismic waveforms recorded offshore Faroe Islands Juerg Schuler 1, Philip A. F. Christie2, and Robert S. White ABSTRACT The generation of short-period multiples between highly heterogeneous layers of basalt flows can strongly alter transmit-ted seismic wavefields. These layers filter and ...

Processing and interpretation of reflection seismic data from a basalt-covered area Significant parts of the Norwegian Sea and adjacent northeast Atlantic Ocean have a basalt cover at shallow depth. In much of this area there are prospective petroleum resources both beneath and intercalated with the basalt.

around and within the basalts, it can be challenging for seismic processing to image the base of the basaltic layer and details of what is below. The Mesozoic in this area are mostly overlain by the Basalt flows of Late Cretaceous – Early Paleocene age,

variable topography and lateral velocity changes each caused problems for seismic data acquisition and processing as they gave rise to seismic signal attenuation, noise contamination and distortions of arrival times. The issues of imaging below a high velocity thrust layer are similar to those of imaging beneath basalt and have not yet been ...

Seismic imaging of sub-basalt sedimentary layers is difficult due to high impedance of the basalt layer, the roughness of the top and bottom of the basalt layer and sometimes the heterogeneities within the basalt layer. In this thesis we identify specific problems within the modern imaging technology which limit sub-basalt imaging. The basic
