Separation of Seismic Sources by Joint Interpolation and Deblending

Generally, seismic data may provide valuable information with regard to the description such as the location and/or change of hydrocarbon deposits within a subsurface region of the Earth. The present disclosure generally discusses techniques that may be used by a computing system to analyze a data set including weak-coherence signals (e.g., non-coherent blending noise). In particular, a computing system may detect portion of the weak-coherence signals of a gather due to the overlap of selected seismic source excitations and use a mask to isolate coherent signals and the other weak-coherence signals from the masked portion of weak-coherence signals. The coherent signals and other weak-coherence signals may be iteratively processed and used to predict values of the masked weak-coherence signals.

DYNAMIC ROAD TRAFFIC NOISE MAPPING USING DISTRIBUTED FIBER OPTIC SENSING (DFOS) OVER TELECOM NETWORK

Aspects of the present disclosure describe dynamic road traffic noise mapping using DFOS over a telecommunications network that enables mapping of road traffic-induced noise at any observer location. DFOS is used to obtain instant traffic data including vehicle speed, volume, and vehicle types, based on vibration and acoustic signal along the length of a sensing fiber along with location information. A sound pressure level at a point of interest is determined, and traffic data associated with such point is incorporated into a reference noise emission database and a wave propagation theory for total sound pressure level prediction and mapping. Real-time wind speed using DFOS—such as distributed acoustic sensing (DAS)—is obtained to provide sound pressure adjustment due to the wind speed.

Method for validating geological model data over corresponding original seismic data

Techniques for generating a geological model from 3D seismic data and rock property data are disclosed. Rock property data and 3D seismic data are received. Based on the rock property data and the 3D seismic data, an adaptive geological model is generated. The adaptive geological model includes a characteristic geological property. Synthetic seismic data is generated from a first region of interest of the adaptive geological model. The synthetic seismic data is adapted to facilitate a comparison between the first region of interest and a corresponding region of interest of the received 3D seismic data. The characteristic geological property is adjusted until the comparison indicates a result that is within a predetermined threshold region of the corresponding value from the rock properties. A validated geologic model is then generated.
