Seismic data acquisition captures subsurface reflections of controlled acoustic energy to map stratigraphy, structure, and potential hydrocarbon traps before drilling. It sits between exploration ...

At-a-Glance: Offshore seismic data analysis is a disciplined workflow from survey design and acquisition QC through processing, imaging, inversion, and interpretation, with closed-loop validation. The ...

A common geoscientific misconception is that land-based shear-wave (S-wave) seismic data accounts for only a small percentage of the total amount of compressional-wave (P-wave) data acquired in ...

A recent study using data from the Al-Khafji oil field, in the Arabian Gulf off Kuwait, shows how seismic attribute data can predict reservoir properties, such as porosity, and its lateral variations ...
