Nemazi, Leslie A. (2010-07-14)The sedimentary wedge of the northern Gulf of Mexico is extensively deformed and faulted by salt tectonics. Industry 2-D multichannel seismic data covering a large area (33,800 km2) of the lower Texas continental slope [96 ...
-
Murad, Idris (2011-08-08)Gas hydrate is a potential energy source that has recently been the subject of much academic and industrial research. The search for deep-water gas hydrate involves many challenges that are especially apparent in the ...
-
Cho, Yongchae (2019-01-04)Reverse-time migration (RTM) and full-waveform inversion (FWI) are widely used because they are able to recover complex geological structures. However, these wave-equation based imaging techniques also have a drawback, as ...
-
Chen, Bo (2012-10-19)The wavefront construction (WFC) method is an effective tool to compute seismic ray fields and has wide applications. This paper applies the WFC method to a heterogeneous earth model represented as a 3-D grid instead of a ...
-
Mohapatra, Arupa Kumar (2013-07-26)In this dissertation, we develop and analyze effective energy management policies for wireless sensor networks in emerging applications. Existing methods in this area have primarily focused on energy conservation through ...

Estimating attenuation properties of bentonite layer in Cut Bank oil field, Glacier County, Montana Karakurt, Necdet (Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)Acquisition and interpretation of 3-D seismic data led DeAngelo and Hardage (2001) to describe the channel system in the south central Cut Bank area in Glacier County, Montana. The presence of a low velocity layer called ...
-
Ge, Jianchao (2014-08-11)The controlled-source electromagnetic (CSEM) technique is well-established for non-invasive geophysical survey. Due to the strong attenuation of earth materials to electromagnetic signals, the effective depth of most CSEM ...
-
Aljeshi, Hussain Abdulhadi A. (2012-07-16)This work was conducted to help understand a premature and irregular water breakthrough which resulted from a waterflooding project in the increment II region of Haradh oilfield in Saudi Arabia using different geophysical ...
-
Tzimeas, Constantinos (Texas A&M University, 2005-08-29)Seismic survey design methods often rely on qualitative measures to provide an optimal image of their objective target. Fold, ray tracing techniques counting ray hits on binned interfaces, and even advanced 3-D survey ...
-
Ahmed, Abdullah Abdulaziz A (2018-07-26)Microseismic data provides important information about the subsurface during hydraulic fracturing jobs. However, microseismic signals are not as easy to identify as conventional seismic signals. I developed a new technique ...
-
He, Zhong (Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)Integration of dynamic data is critical for reliable reservoir description and has been an outstanding challenge for the petroleum industry. This work develops practical dynamic data integration techniques using streamline ...
-
Barnett, David Benjamin (Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)Coherency analyzes the trace to trace amplitude similarities recorded by seismic waves. Coherency algorithms have been used to identify the structural or stratigraphic features of an area but the limitations for detecting ...
-
Bouffin, Nicolas (2009-06-02)Net pay (NP) and net-to-gross ratio (NGR) are often crucial quantities to characterize a reservoir and assess the amount of hydrocarbons in place. Numerous methods in the industry have been developed to evaluate NP and ...
-
Lim, Un Young (2019-05-15)Amplitude Variation with Offset (AVO) inversion is an effective method to estimate elastic parameters of target subsurface layers. However, most conventional AVO inversions are based on linear approximations of Zoeppritz ...
