Seismic-well tie, the alignment of synthetic traces with actual seismic traces at well locations, is a fundamental step in seismic interpretation, inversion, and reservoir prediction. This process ...

Figure 1: Observations of shear-wave splitting in the Japan subduction system. Deformation experiments were carried out at a pressure of 1 GPa and temperature of 300–400 °C at a constant strain rate ...

Computer models confirm that the African Superplume is responsible for the unusual deformations, as well as rift-parallel seismic anisotropy observed beneath the East African Rift System. Computer ...

In petroleum exploration, migration is one of the most compute-intensive steps in the seismic data processing sequence. It accurately images the reflected and diffracted energy and aids in delineating ...

Abstract: The purpose of this study is to further investigate the seismic response of a set of parallel rock fractures filled with viscoelastic materials, following the work by Zhu et al. Dry quartz ...

Introduction: The pore pressure of formations is a critical factor in assessing reservoir stability, designing drilling programs, and predicting production dynamics. Traditional methods often rely on ...

Large earthquakes in densely populated areas can be deadly and very damaging to the local economy. Recent earthquakes in El Salvador (magnitude 7.7 on January 13, 2001), India (magnitude 7.6 on ...
