Verma, R K

This is a study of reflection seismic applications at sea. In an overview of offshore petroleum exploration, the book begins with a discussion of producing areas, a general look at reflection seismology, and the recent advances in seismic technology. It then goes into the heart of seismics for hydrocarbon exploration, covering marine hydrocarbon reservoirs, seismic signal processing theory, acquisition of seismic reflection data at sea, radio and satellite positioning techniques, and geophysical interpretation problems. The final chapter covers topics such as high-resolution seismics, digital processing, and lithology analysis.
