REFLECTION SEISMOLOGY INVERSION WITH QUALITY CONTROL
A method can include receiving seismic data of a subsurface region; performing an iterative full waveform inversion using at least a portion of the seismic data to generate a model of the subsurface region, where the performing includes, after one or more iterations of the full waveform inversion, automatically selecting one or more parts of the seismic data for inclusion in the at least a portion of the seismic data based on data classification using one or more quality attributes; and outputting the model of the subsurface region.
SURVEY DESIGN FOR MULTI-PURPOSE SEISMIC SOURCES
A method to perform a seismic survey using one or more source vessels includes enabling shooting from at least two seismic sources at pre-selected time intervals or pre-selected locations. The at least two seismic sources are on the one or more source vessels, and the at least two seismic sources include source technologies that differ from each other. The method also includes measuring wavefields received from the at least two seismic sources. The method also includes associating energy from the wavefields generated by each source with different seismic traces. The method also includes obtaining data from the different seismic traces that are equivalent to different datasets acquired in different surveys using the source technologies that differ from each other.
Method and apparatus for implementing a high-resolution seismic pseudo-reflectivity image
A method for generating a high-resolution pseudo-reflectivity image of a subsurface region includes receiving seismic data associated with a subsurface region and captured by one or more seismic receivers, constructing a velocity model of the subsurface region based on the received seismic data, performing a seismic migration of the received seismic data based on the constructed velocity model to obtain migrated seismic data, computing polarized normal vectors associated with one or more subsurface reflectors of the subsurface region based on the migrated seismic data, and generating a pseudo-reflectivity image of the subsurface region based on both the computed polarized normal vectors.
