Title: Method for determining formation quality factor from seismic data

Abstract

A method is disclosed for calculating the quality factor Q from a seismic data trace. The method includes calculating a first and a second minimum phase inverse wavelet at a first and a second time interval along the seismic data trace, synthetically dividing the first wavelet by the second wavelet, Fourier transforming the result of the synthetic division, calculating the logarithm of this quotient of Fourier transforms and determining the slope of a best fit line to the logarithm of the quotient.

Method for determining formation quality factor from well log data and its application to seismic reservoir characterization

Patent Walls, Joel; Taner, M. Turhan; Dvorkin, Jack

A method for seismic characterization of subsurface Earth formations includes determining at least one of compressional velocity and shear velocity, and determining reservoir parameters of subsurface Earth formations, at least including density, from data obtained from a wellbore penetrating the formations. A quality factor for the subsurface formations is calculated from the velocity, the density and the water saturation. A synthetic seismogram is calculated from the calculated quality factor and from the velocity and density. The synthetic seismogram is compared to a seismic survey made in the vicinity of the wellbore. At least one parameter is adjusted. The synthetic seismogrammore » « less

System and method for generating 3D images of non-linear properties of rock formation using surface seismic or surface to borehole seismic or both

Patent Vu, Cung Khac; Nihei, Kurt Toshimi; Johnson, Paul A.; ...

A system and method of characterizing properties of a medium from a non-linear interaction are include generating, by first and second acoustic sources disposed on a surface of the medium on a first line, first and second acoustic waves. The first and second acoustic sources are controllable such that trajectories of the first and second acoustic waves intersect in a mixing zone within the medium. The method further includes receiving, by a receiver positioned in a plane containing the first and second acoustic sources, a third acoustic wave generated by a non-linear mixing process from the first and second acousticmore » « less

Method for inverting reflection trace data from 3-D and 4-D seismic surveys and identifying subsurface fluid and pathways in and among hydrocarbon reservoirs based on impedance models

Patent He, Wei [New Milford, NJ]; Anderson, Roger N [New York, NY]

A method is disclosed for inverting 3-D seismic reflection data obtained from seismic surveys to derive impedance models for a subsurface region, and for inversion of multiple 3-D seismic surveys (i.e., 4-D seismic surveys) of the same subsurface volume, separated in time to allow for dynamic fluid migration, such that small scale structure and regions of fluid and dynamic fluid flow within the subsurface volume being studied can be identified. The method allows for the mapping and quantification of available hydrocarbons within a reservoir and is thus useful for hydrocarbon prospecting and reservoir management. An iterative seismic inversion scheme constrainedmore » « less

Device and method for constructing and displaying high quality images from imaging data by transforming a data structure utilizing machine learning techniques

Patent Korbin, John P.; Peterson, David A.; Smith, Matthew David; ...

Constructing a computer image from raw imaging data or encoded imaging data by transforming a first data structure in which the raw imaging data or the encoded imaging data is stored into a second data structure storing reorganized imaging data. The raw imaging data or the encoded imaging data is received, stored in the first data structure. The computer reorganizes the raw imaging data or the encoded imaging data into the reorganized data and stores the reorganized data in the second data structure, which is a multi-dimensional array having subarrays containing local information needed by a convolutional neural network formore » « less
