Identifying geologic features in a subterranean formation using seismic diffraction imaging
A system for seismic imaging of a subterranean geological formation uses a two-way imaging condition. A seismic signal is emitted into a subterranean formation and recorded at receiver(s). Source and receiver wavefields are decomposed into respective right-down/left-up and left-down/right-up propagating waves. The right-down/left-up and left-down/right-up direction can be defined along the direction emitted from the source or receiver to corresponding direction in two dimensional (2D) case. An imaging condition for generating both a positive-dip structure image and a negative-dip structure image is the inner product of the wavefields. Applying the sample-by-sample multiplication imaging condition to the opposite dip images, the diffraction energy is retained while the reflection energy is significantly attenuated. The diffraction image can be used to detect faults and fractures in subsurface regions.

Framework for machine guidance
A method includes receiving a data stream comprising content generated by an application executing on a user device. The data stream is received from a guidance service that is separate from the application. The data stream is processed using a set of machine learning models to identify a first set of artifacts within the content. A first state of the application is identified based on the first set of artifacts. First transition data is identified in a logic flow of the application. The first transition data corresponds to transitioning from the first state to a second state of the application. Based on the first transition data, first guidance data is generated that describes user input for transitioning the application from the first state to the second state. The first guidance data is sent to the user device, where it is separately presented from the application by the guidance service.
Method for improved processing of data with time overlapping recordings of energy sources
A method for deblending seismic signals includes entering as input to a computer recorded signals comprising seismic energy from a plurality of actuations of one or more seismic energy sources. A model of deblended seismic data and a blending matrix are initialized. A blending matrix inversion is performed using the initialized model. The inversion includes using a scaled objective function. The inversion is constrained by a thresholding operator. The thresholding operator is arranged to recover coefficients of the model of the deblended seismic data that are substantially nonzero, against a Gaussian white noise background. The thresholded model is projected into data space. Performing the blending matrix inversion is repeated if a data residual exceeds a selected threshold and the inversion is terminated if the data residual is below the selected threshold. At least one of storing and displaying an output of the blending matrix inversion is performed when the blending matrix inversion is terminated.
