Elements of 3-D Seismology, 2nd Edition
Item# 9781593700157
Brand: PennWell
by Christopher L. Liner

Elements of 3-D Seismology, 2nd Edition is a thorough introduction to the acquisition, processing, and interpretation of 3-D seismic data. Developed from university courses, the text teaches the fundamentals of 3-D seismic theory, techniques, and application. The author presents:
  • Conceptual and historical foundations of modern reflection seismology
  • Overview of seismic wave phenomena in acoustic, elastic, and porous media
  • Acquisition principles for land and marine seismic surveys
  • Methods used to create 2-D and 3-D seismic images from field data
  • Concepts of dip moveout, prestack migration, and depth migration
  • Concepts and limitations of 3-D seismic interpretation for structure, stratigraphy, and rock property estimation
  • The interpretation role of attributes, impedance estimation, and AVO

Key Features

  • Learn the language and concepts of acquiring, processing, and interpreting 3-D seismic data
  • Learn the central role a calibrated rock model plays in reservoir interpretation
  • Learn how to deal effectively with design, economic, and quality control issues
  • Understand the range of 3-D seismic applications to exploration, production, and reservoir management problems
  • Calculate economic feasibility and rate of return on 3-D surveys
  • Learn about reservoir fluids, prestack data, and resolution

Includes a Companion CD
CD items include several QuickTime movies related to topics in the book, plus SeisCom7 for rapid calculation of 2-D and 3-D seismic quantities.
