A method may include obtaining various well logs or various core samples regarding a geological region of interest. The method may further include determining various permeability values, various porosity values, and various dolomite volume fraction values regarding the geological region of interest using the well logs or the core samples. The dolomite volume fraction values may correspond to a percentage of dolomite in a total mineral volume. The method may further include determining, using the porosity values, various permeability thresholds corresponding to various predetermined reservoir qualities. The method may further include generating, using the permeability thresholds, the permeability values, and the dolomite volume fraction values, a reservoir model including various dolomite boundaries defining the predetermined reservoir qualities. The method may further include determining a hydrocarbon trap prediction using the reservoir model.

A generator of acoustic waves for submarine environments has a hollow body that extends along an axis delimited by a first closed end and by a second end that is provided with an acoustic diffuser member. The hollow body has a first cylindrical portion delimited by the first end that houses a first piston and a second cylindrical portion delimited by the second end that houses a second piston in a freely axially sliding manner. The second piston is mechanically free from the first piston and has a face that faces the acoustic diffuser member. An impulsive actuator is configured together with the first piston to move the first piston towards the second piston. An adjustor for a longitudinal motion of the second piston is arranged between the first piston and the second piston.

A method of seismic exploration above a region of the subsurface of the earth containing structural or stratigraphic features conducive to the presence, migration, or accumulation of hydrocarbons comprises setting a tow depth of a resonant seismic source, producing a resonant frequency at a first amplitude with the resonant seismic source at the tow depth, detecting a depth excursion from the tow depth, reducing an amplitude of the mass from the first amplitude to a second amplitude, preventing the mass from contacting at least one of the first end stop or the second end stop based on reducing the amplitude to the second amplitude, correcting the depth excursion to return the resonant seismic source to the tow depth, and increasing the amplitude from the second amplitude to produce the resonant frequency with the resonant seismic source at the tow depth.

Multicomponent data are acquired using a downhole acoustic tool having transmitters and receiver stations distributed azimuthally in a plane perpendicular to the axis of the tool. The receiver stations are located at several receiving stations along the axis of the tool. At each acquisition depth, waveforms are processed through a multi-dimensional fast Fourier transform, extrapolation and inverse multi-dimensional fast Fourier transform. At each receiver station, waveforms are combined to produce the standard monopole waveforms and the inline and crossline dipole waveforms along fixed azimuths. These oriented waveforms produce a finer azimuthal sampling of the surrounding formation, and can then be used for imaging geological features within the surrounding formation.
