Seismic and electromagnetic interferometry: Retrieval of the earth's reflection response using crosscorrelation

One of the goals of exploration geophysics is to obtain an image of the subsurface. In petroleum exploration and near-surface geophysics, this is best achieved using reflected waves. For this, a controlled seismic or electromagnetic source is placed at the surface, activated, and the wavefields that it creates are recorded at the surface after...

Ray-based stochastic inversion of pre-stack seismic data for improved reservoir characterisation

To estimate rock and pore-fluid properties of oil and gas reservoirs in the subsurface, techniques can be used that invert seismic data. Hereby, the detailed information about the reservoir that is available at well locations, such as the thickness and porosity of individual layers, is extrapolated to all locations in the reservoir on the basis...
