Quantitative Seismic Amplitude Analysis

The Seismic Value Chain quantifies the cyclic interaction between seismic acquisition, imaging and reservoir characterization. Modern seismic innovation to address the global imbalance in hydrocarbon supply and demand requires such cyclic interaction of both feed-forward and feed-back processes. Currently, the seismic value chain paradigm is in...

Estimation of Primaries and Multiples by Sparse Inversion

Surface-related multiple reflections are often considered noise in the seismic reflection measurements. By seismic processes, such as migration and inversion, they can be mistakenly seen as primary reflections and give an erroneous image of the earth. Therefore, a method is needed to separate the multiples from the primaries. This thesis...
