INFILL MONITORING USING THE THREE-DIMENSIONAL FRESNEL ZONE OF A MIGRATION OPERATOR
Implementations for monitoring seismic data recorded in a marine survey of a subterranean formation for coverage gaps are described herein. Implementations include computing Fresnel sum operators for Fresnel zones of the subterranean formation based on a Kirchhoff migration impulse response at horizons of a representative plane layer model of a survey area of the subterranean formation. Implementations also include computing an acceptability map of the survey area based on the Fresnel sum operators. The acceptability map reveals coverage gaps in the survey area. Geoscientist may use the acceptability map to infill seismic data in areas of the survey area that correspond to the coverage gaps.

Method and apparatus for separating gamma and neutron signals from a radiation detector and for gain-stabilizing the detector
A method for separating and quantifying gamma ray induced and neutron induced responses in a radiation detector includes detecting radiation in a radiation field comprising neutrons and gamma rays. The detected events are converted into a detector pulse amplitude spectrum. The pulse amplitude spectrum is decomposed into contributions from detected gamma rays and detected neutrons using gamma ray standard spectra and neutron standard spectra and a spectral fitting procedure which results in a best fit between a weighted sum of the contributions and the detector pulse amplitude spectrum. The fitting procedure includes determining fitting parameters for each of the standard spectra wherein at least one of the fitting parameters is different for the gamma ray standard spectra and the neutron standard spectra. In one embodiment, the fitting parameter is spectral gain.
