Interferometric reservoir monitoring with a single passive source

Changes in the subsurface can be imaged by subtracting seismic reflection data at two different states, one serving as the initial survey or base, and the second as the monitor survey. Conventionally, the reflection data are acquired by placing active seismic sources at the acquisition surface. Alternatively, these data can be acquired from...

Finite difference feasibility modelling of time-lapse seismic noise interferometry for CO2 monitoring

Seismic Interferometry (SI) with ambient noise is a recently developed method for subsurface imaging that involves cross-correlating ambient noise from passive seismic data to reveal the earth’s reflection response. Based on this technique, TNO aims at developing a methodology for efficient monitoring of CO2 geological sequestration in Carbon...
