streamers for sub‑basalt seismic imaging To evaluate the optimal technique for imaging beneath a complex basalt layer, Robert Dowle,1* Fabrice Mandroux,1 Robert Soubaras,1 and Gareth Williams2 compare dense wideazimuth and broadband towed streamer acquisition solutions when deployed in an experimental survey in the FaroeShetland Basin. A

Special seismic processing must be utilized to calculate attributes from prestack data, ... but al so layers of hyaloclastic rocks within basalt lava flows. These were deposited as debris fr om the cooling pillow lava flow. Due to their fragility and redeposition processes, only .

Much of the seismic energy is reected at the top basalt interface due to the large seismic impedance contrast. An additional difculty are interbed multiples which develop as a result of interchanging layers of basalt and other rock types, such as volcanoclastics. These layers can have very different seismic properties which leads

below a basalt layer. However, due to shape irregularities and het erogeneities with high velocity contrasts around and within the basalts, it can be challenging for seismic processing to image the base of the basaltic layer and details of what is below . [For example, s ee Fliedner and White (2001) ].

The imaging of sedimentary sequences laying beneath strongly absorbing formations such as the Faeroe Basin Basalt Body can be improved by processing seismic data using a non conventional approach.

The first layer is a thin layer of very dry weathered basalt, with an average value of ρ = 8430, and at a depth ranging from 1 to m. The value of apparent resistivity in the second layer is about ρ > 4000 and at depth ranging from to 20 m, which might be comprised of fresh basalt. The third layer has an apparent

Eventbased subbasalt imaging applied to marine seismic data from north of Shetland, UK. Norwegian Journal of Geology vol 88, pp 167183. Trondheim 2008. ISSN 029196X Seismic wave propagation in media with highvelocity layers (basalts) can be described as an interference of various events commonly referred to as wave types or modes.

Sep 18, 2014· Down there (in fact, over 30,000 feet down there), the rocks are hot and the oilbearing sands are highpressure reservoirs buried under very thick salt and possibly subbasalt layers. Exploring for these reservoirs has become an incredibly technologydependent business in which the acquisition of seismic data (reflected sound waves) plays a ...

Mar 16, 2018· Imaging below the basalt for hydrocarbon exploration is a global problem because of poor penetration and significant loss of seismic energy due to scattering, attenuation, absorption and modeconversion when the seismic waves encounter a highly heterogeneous and rugose basalt layer. The conventional (short offset) seismic data acquisition, processing and modeling techniques adopted by .

Apr 01, 2016· Layers of basalt flows within sedimentary successions ( in the FaeroeShetland Basin) cause complex scattering and attenuation of seismic waves during seismic exploration surveys. Extrusive basaltic sequences are highly heterogeneous and contain strong impedance contrasts between higher velocity crystalline flow cores (̃6 km s1) and the lower velocity fragmented and weathered flow .

Imaging below the basalt for hydrocarbon exploration is a global problem because of poor penetration and significant loss of seismic energy due to scattering, attenuation, absorption and modeconversion when the seismic waves encounter a highly heterogeneous and rugose basalt layer. The conventional (short offset) seismic data acquisition, processing and modeling techniques adopted by the oil ...

variable topography and lateral velocity changes each caused problems for seismic data acquisition and processing as they gave rise to seismic signal attenuation, noise contamination and distortions of arrival times. The issues of imaging below a high velocity thrust layer are similar to those of imaging beneath basalt and have not yet been ...

Feb 01, 2010· The presence of highly heterogeneous basalt layers has a detrimental effect on seismic imaging of underlying structures. Due to the prevalence of basalt, the challenge of imaging below basalts impinges on a broad spectrum of geological problems, from hydrocarbon exploration to .

Imaging below the basalt for hydrocarbon exploration is a global problem because of poor penetration of seismic energy. There is significant loss of energy due to scattering, attenuation, absorption and modeconversions when the seismic waves encounter a highly heterogeneous and rugose basalt layer.

In 1994 he graduated from the University of Alberta with a in crustal seismic studies of Western Canada. After postdoctoral research with the LITHOPROBE project he accepted a position with Scott Pickford in Calgary where he has been involved in AVO and rock property analysis and trueamplitude seismic processing.

Dec 01, 2001· In the presence of thick, laterally extensive basalt layers, seismic reflection sections are typified by a high amplitude top basalt reflector and the absence of basebasalt and subbasalt events.

upgoing reflections from layers below the basalt are clearly seen. For the seismic reflection survey, advanced seismic data processing techniques such as prestack depth migration were able to improve the continuity of the coal seam reflections across the zone affected by the basalt. No special acquisition parameters were required.
