| On Demand | Change the default colourmap for optimum data visualization and more effective communication E-Lecture Recording | Isabel Espin | New E-lectures | E-Lecture Recording | On Demand | On Demand | EAGE | this eage e-lecture "change the default colourmap for optimum data visualization and more effective communication" presents a visualization of multi-disciplinary data is fundamental to our interpretation and analysis of the subsurface, and how we communicate our understanding to others. in many visualization toolkits the default colourmaps are not scientific and cause visual distortion of the data. in the case of rainbow colourmaps, they also contain both red and green at similar luminosity, and therefore are not inclusive for those with colour vision deficiency (cvd). simple colourmap analysis and comparison plots of real data examples can help demonstrate the dangers of the default colourmaps such as rainbows and the benefits of a scientific alternative. changing the default colourmap will not only improve the efficiency and accuracy of our data analysis, but it will also improve the effectiveness of our communication to others across geoscience disciplines as scientific colourmaps are not only accurate, but intuitive and accessible for all. | ||
| On Demand | Carbon Capture and Storage Plan for the Decarbonization of the Asturias Industrial Hub E-Lecture Recording | New E-lectures | E-Lecture Recording | On Demand | On Demand | EAGE | the capture and geological storage of co2 (ccs) is widely recognized as a key technology to reduce greenhouse gases (ghg) emissions. developing a successful decarbonization plan via ccs involves identifying the source of emission, creating a commercial carbon capture and storage network to transport captured co2, and injecting it into a suitable geological formation. this work presents a multistage data evaluation process carried out to provide a plan for the development of a full-chain industrial ccs cluster. for this purpose, we identified an industrial emission hub in asturias region (spain) as a large co2 emission source and priority decarbonization target. using publicity available information on storage structures, we applied a multi-staged source-to-sink assessment methodology to select the most suitable site for the storage of the captured co2. this methodology involves testing multiple scenarios to provide a sensitivity analysis of the selection of the best candidate, the iglesias-ut structure. finally, the selected storage site was re-evaluated in more detail by interpreting the petrophysical properties for analyzing the uncertainties of the structure. | |||
| On Demand | Airborne Micro-TEM and Deep Learning Inversion for Base of Sand Ultra-Resolution Mapping E-Lecture Recording | New E-lectures | E-Lecture Recording | On Demand | On Demand | EAGE | a key component in the seismic exploration of sand-covered areas is the characterization of sand dune velocities and the corresponding kinematic and dynamic corrections. standard practices are related to the mapping of the sand depositional basal surface (base of sand) followed by the application of an empirically derived sand velocity curve for correcting the kinematic distortions. the reconstruction of the base of sand surface becomes challenging when the substratum is fully covered by sand and when it presents a pre-existing uneven topographic relief resulting from sub aerial exposure and erosion. we developed a novel ultra-resolution imaging approach for the base of sand that utilizes helicopter-borne micro-transient em to achieve a depth resolution of a few meters with continuous spatial coverage. the inversion is performed using an iterative scheme that links the deterministic inversion with deep learning driven by physics. results indicate an ultra-resolution mapping for the base of sand that reveals a complex paleo topography for the sand depositional surface. | |||
| On Demand | Stochastic Time-Lapse ERT Inversion by Means of an Ensemble-Based Approach E-Lecture Recording | New E-lectures | E-Lecture Recording | On Demand | On Demand | EAGE | time-lapse electrical resistivity tomography (tl-ert) is a time-extension of the more conventional ert method widely used in mapping near-surface processes. the ert inverse problem is ill-posed and it is usually solved by gradient-based least square approach without a robust uncertainty appraisals. in this webinar i will show you the stochastic ensemble smoother multiple data assimilation algorithm (es-mda) that we implemented to perform a time- lapse ert inversion. this approach allows to simultaneously assess the initial resistivity model, the resistivity variation in time, and also the corresponding uncertainties. after a brief introduction i will show you the features of the implemented algorithm and the application to field dataset acquired by the pillemark landfill monitoring station (samsø, denmark). | |||
| On Demand | Geometrical inversions with integrations of geological modeling E-Lecture Recording | New E-lectures | E-Lecture Recording | On Demand | On Demand | EAGE | his eage e-lecture, titled "geometrical inversions with integration of geological modeling", presents and tests a method in which automatic geological modeling is integrated into level-set inversion. the objective of this method is to enhance geological realism during deterministic geophysical inversion, particularly for modeling interfaces between rock units. to achieve this, a geological correction term is introduced in the model update to reduce geological inconsistencies at each inversion iteration. this is made possible through the integration of an automatic, implicit geological modeling scheme within the geophysical inversion algorithm. after introducing the main theoretical aspects of the approach, a realistic synthetic case is presented to demonstrate the proof of concept in a basin scenario using gravity data. results indicate that this approach effectively guides inversion towards geologically consistent models, suggesting its potential applicability to field data. | |||
| On Demand | Exploiting the richness of multi-component data: a time-dependent polarization-based FWI approach E-Lecture Recording | New E-lectures | E-Lecture Recording | On Demand | On Demand | EAGE | full waveform inversion is the most resolving seismic imaging method. through a nonlinear data-fitting procedure of seismic waveforms, accurate and highly-resolved subsurface parameters models are derived. in the case of multi-component data, recorded through directional sensors, the data are often treated in uncorrelated manner. in fact, the correlation between the directional recordings could be exploited to complement the conventional approach or remedy against some of its short-comings. in this lecture, polarization-based approaches are presented and assessed against conventional multi-component fwi. | |||
| On Demand | Sketch-based Geological Modelling and Flow Diagnostics: Geothermal and Subsurface Storage Applications E-Lecture Recording | Carl Jacquemyn | New E-lectures | E-Lecture Recording | On Demand | On Demand | EAGE | most subsurface geoenergy applications (e.g. ccs; h 2 and gas storage; geothermal…) use geomodelling to calculate volumetrics, plan for production/injection of fluids, and/or minimise and mitigate risk due to geological uncertainty. modelling workflows are often too time-consuming and computationally expensive to capture the full extent of the uncertainty space and scale. sketch-based modelling with flow diagnostics provides a prototyping approach to quickly build geomodels and generate quantitative results to evaluate volumetrics and flow behaviour. this approach allows users to rapidly test the sensitivity of model outputs to different geological concepts and uncertain parameters, and informs selection of geological concepts, scales and resolutions to be investigated in more detailed models. rapid reservoir modelling (rrm) is a sketch-based modelling tool with an intuitive interface that allows users to rapidly sketch geological models in 3d. geological models that capture the essence of heterogeneity of interest and related uncertainty can be created within minutes. flow diagnostics then instantly computes key indicators of predicted flow and storage behaviour within seconds, using simple, geologically intuitive workflows that do not require prior geomodelling expertise. | ||
| On Demand | The Acoustic Wavefield Generated by a Vessel Sailing on Top of a Streamer Spread E-Lecture Recording | Stian Hegna | New E-lectures | E-Lecture Recording | On Demand | On Demand | EAGE | during the acquisition of a source-over-cable survey in the barents sea, part of one sail line was repeated without triggering the airgun arrays. the acoustic wavefield generated by the source vessel sailing over the streamers has been characterized from the measured direct arrivals. the image obtained after deconvolving this wavefield from the received wavefield will be presented and compared to the image obtained from an airgun source.. | ||
| On Demand | Monitoring CO2 Plumes With Mini Streamers, is There Potential? E-Lecture Recording | Mark Thompson | New E-lectures | E-Lecture Recording | On Demand | On Demand | EAGE | future sites for co2 storage will be subject to regulatory requirements for monitoring to assure safe storage. additionally, monitoring will be an important tool to optimize injection operations and confirm storage volumes. monitorability, cost and leakage risk assessment are all important components in designing an optimal monitoring program to prove conformance (co2 plume behaving in accordance with predictions) and containment (no leakage out of the storage complex). the potential for new technologies and ability to optimize operations were recently investigated in field trials to monitor the co2 plume at the sleipner field in the north sea using the extended high resolution (xhr) streamer concept based on the use of mini seismic streamers. | ||
| On Demand | Analysis of a Local Earthquake in the Arctic using a 120 km long Fibre-Optic Cable E-Lecture Recording | Robin André Rørstadbotnen | New E-lectures | E-Lecture Recording | On Demand | On Demand | EAGE | using a 120 km long fiber-optic array, with a channel spacing of 4 m, we can see interesting features along the cable length. we show how we can locate a local earthquake recorded on distributed acoustic sensing date and compare it to the locations reported by the two earthquake catalogues in norway. the ray tracing and grid search procedure used in the localization will be discussed. the simple pre-processing job, used to enhance the signal-to-noise ratio of the data as well as enhance the first-break arrivals used in the localization study, will be presented.. | ||
| On Demand | Angle Gathers from Time-Shift Extended Least-Squares Reverse-Time Migration E-Lecture Recording | Eric Duveneck | New E-lectures | E-Lecture Recording | On Demand | On Demand | EAGE | i present a method for computing reflection angle gathers using time-shift extended least-squares reverse-time migration. the method is aimed at producing image gathers that can be interpreted in terms of angle-dependent reflection coefficients, also under complex overburdens. it is based on a two-step procedure involving an iterative inversion to estimate a time-shift extended representation of the subsurface reflectivity, followed by a transform of this reflectivity to the reflection angle domain. using a formulation in terms of time-shift extended imaging allows to naturally handle complex wave-field effects like multi-pathing. the main building blocks of the method include an adjoint pair of time-shift extended linearized modelling and imaging operators, an effective time-shift extended-domain preconditioner and a transform from the time-shift domain to the reflection angle domain that properly handles amplitudes. the method is demonstrated on a synthetic data example. | ||
| On Demand | AI Seismic Interpretation of Vintage Seismic Data With Implications for CCS Site Characterisation E-Lecture Recording | Ryan Williams | New E-lectures | E-Lecture Recording | On Demand | On Demand | EAGE | carbon capture utilisation and storage (ccus) is seen as a potential solution to the world’s climate/carbon crisis. around the world potential ccus sites have been identified for co2 storage, whether it be an abandoned hydrocarbon field or a subsurface aquifer. the southern north sea is thought to contain several highly prospective sites. un-faulted, anticlinal mounds of bunter sandstone aquifer/ reservoir material formed from underlying salt pillowing is overlain by triassic shales, forming a reliable trap and seal pairing. the presence of the esmond gas field supports the ability of these formations to trap and store fluids within the subsurface. using ai networks, it has been possible to investigate and interpret a southern north sea bunter mound, for identification of a ccus site location. revealing the presence of faults within the site’s location is of vital importance for, not only for sealing potential and trap definition, but also to identify any aquifer compartmentalisation which may reduce the ability to successfully fill the structure. the ai fault detection network can also be fine-tuned to the specific style of faulting observed within the seismic volume. extracting horizons from seismic data can be a time-consuming process, especially with complex faulting. therefore, having the ability to extract every horizon within a volume can free up a significant portion of an interpreter’s time, allowing them to concentrate in areas of complexity. extracting all horizons will allow an interpreter to clearly visualise the structure and the lateral extents of aquifer/reservoir and seal pair with greater confidence. combining the structural and stratigraphic analysis generated using ai allows for a quicker/ time efficient interpretation without and loss of accuracy. the ability to create quick, reliable, and consistent interpretation is key for successful ccus site investigation. it is vital that the interpreter is involved throughout the ai interpretation process, as they have all the necessary experience, knowledge and skills. ai allows the interpreter to complete the work, whilst saving time and improve the quality of results. | ||
| On Demand | Multi-Wave and Full-Waveform Inversion in Southern Oman E-Lecture Recording | Sylvain Masclet | New E-lectures | E-Lecture Recording | On Demand | On Demand | EAGE | with a shallow anhydrite layer, strong multiples and converted wave contamination, southern oman represents a technical challenge for land velocity model building and imaging. while acoustic land full-waveform inversion (fwi) has proved successful on new broadband datasets in northern oman, no successful application has been reported for southern oman. we show here that the challenge of acoustic fwi in south oman can be overcome using a dedicated workflow combining multi-wave inversion (mwi) and multi-dimensional optimal transport fwi (multid ot-fwi). the key component of the workflow is the very near surface characterization provided by surface wave dispersion curves, which allows delineation of the rus layer in the initial fwi model. multid ot-fwi is then used to mitigate amplitude issues in the presence of short period multiples and reduce cycle skipping beyond the depth of penetration of diving waves. | ||
| On Demand | On the Robustness of Sparsity-Promoting Regularized Wavefield Inversion with Phase Retrieval Against Sparse Long-Offset Acquisitions E-Lecture Recording | Hossein Aghamiry | New E-lectures | E-Lecture Recording | On Demand | On Demand | EAGE | ultra-long offset node acquisitions are beneficial for full waveform inversion (fwi) because the wide variety of wave types recorded by these geometries are suitable for broadband velocity model building. however, long propagation distances induced by long offsets exacerbate cycle skipping and the sparsity of the acquisition can inject wraparound artifacts into the reconstructed velocity model. in this presentation, we propose a fwi technology that is suitable for sparse long-offset obn acquisition. cycle skipping is mitigated through anextended search space in the framework of augmented lagrangian and alternating direction method of multipliers (admm). also, the robustness of the method for sparse acquisition is achieved with phase retrieval and sparsity-promoting regularization. | ||
| On Demand | Geochron-Based Restoration Workflow Applied to Clyde Seismic Dataset E-Lecture Recording | Anne-Laure Tertois | New E-lectures | E-Lecture Recording | On Demand | On Demand | EAGE | as well as helping to understand local geology and tectonic processes, structural restoration can help validate interpretations. in 1969, dahlstrom laid out the ground rules for cross section restoration in the marginal part of an orogenic belt, believing that a cross section built according to those rules, so that it is possible to restore it, is likely to be more accurate than a cross section that fails the restoration test. numerical modelling has improved over these first pen-and-paper efforts and cross sections, three-dimensional surfaces and full three-dimensional structural models can now be restored, with direct benefits on model consistency. mechanical restoration requires grids that conform to geological structures, which can be difficult to build. using an implicit representation for horizons relieves constraints on the mesh required by finite-element methods and enables mechanical restoration of complex structures. making full use of the implicit approach, the (u,v,t) space defined by the geochron framework provides a glimpse of geological structures as they were deposited but does not map the geological space to a true deposition space as the vertical dimension is a geological time, not deposition depth. in this lecture, we present a full adaptation of the mathematical geochron framework which enables three-dimensional restoration of complex structural models with no need for user input. our new equations provide mathematically sound solutions illustrated by sequential restoration of an extensional sandbox model. the benefits of working in a restored space are then shown by applying our restoration method to a complex structural framework. using this transformation, any geological object can be converted from the present-day space to a restored state at a given time, where constraints set on the transformation ensure that the restored geological model is valid. restoring models can help assess their validity and can make further interpretation easier by cancelling the effects of faulting and folding. | ||
| On Demand | COFII – Open-source Julia Language Framework for Seismic Inversion E-Lecture Recording | John Washbourne | New E-lectures | E-Lecture Recording | On Demand | On Demand | EAGE | we present the chevron optimization framework for imaging and inversion (cofii), an open-source framework for seismic modeling and inversion written in the julia language that is designed to be easy to use in both cloud and traditional high performance computing environments. a primary objective is to foster an environment where academia and industry can easily collaborate on geophysical problems requiring high performance applications, and the package has been designed to allow interoperability with other julia language tools. the cofii framework enables easy testing of new ideas at production scale by defining interfaces for nonlinear and linear operators. with cofii “the math is the api”, and we show how composition of chains of simple operators can implement complex workflows. we demonstrate how cofii includes the tools needed for high-performance finite difference modeling, full waveform inversion, and reverse time migration, and describe how simple adaptation enables the framework to operate in the microsoft azure cloud. | ||
| On Demand | Rock Physics Analysis of Volcanic Lava Flows and Hyaloclastites E-Lecture Recording | Per Avseth | New E-lectures | E-Lecture Recording | On Demand | On Demand | EAGE | a study is conducted to investigate the rock physics properties of volcanic facies from available core measurements from iceland and hawaii. the main goal is to investigate the rock physics properties of a set of volcanic rock samples, and to establish predictive rock physics templates for these rocks, as a function of facies and rock texture, fluids and minerology. we focus on lava flows and hyaloclastites from iceland and hawaii. we find that both these facies can be modelled using modified hashin-shtrikman upper elastic bounds, and we create rock-physics templates for varying porosity and fluid saturations. dry or gas-filled hyaloclastite facies plots with low acoustic impedances and low vp/vs ratios and are nicely separated from brine-filled hyaloclastites. dry and wet high-porosity/high-permeability vesicular lavas will have similar ai and vp/vs values, and therefore these rocks will be more difficult to discriminate seismically. | ||
| On Demand | FWI Imaging: Unlock Unprecedented Seismic Resolution E-Lecture Recording | Zhiyuan Wei | New E-lectures | E-Lecture Recording | On Demand | On Demand | EAGE | a high-resolution seismic image is of great importance to exploration and production many ways, such as bypassing drilling hazards and identifying compartmentalized reservoirs. to achieve seismic resolution as high as possible, the conventional seismic imaging process takes a piecemeal approach to deal with one or a few specific issues at a time, such as noise and multiple attenuation, source and receiver deghosting, velocity errors, illumination holes, and migration swings. full-waveform inversion (fwi) imaging models and uses the full-wavefield data, including primaries and multiples (ghost included) and reflection and transmission waves, to iteratively invert for the reflectivity together with velocity and thus is an elegant solution to resolve those issues in one (iterative) inversion. fwi imaging has proven to be a superior method for providing seismic images of greatly improved illumination, s/n, focusing, and thus better resolution, over conventional imaging methods. we demonstrate with a towed streamer data set and an obn data set that fwi imaging with a frequency close to the temporal resolution limit of seismic data (100 hz or higher) can provide seismic images of unprecedented resolution from the recorded seismic data, which has been impossible to achieve with conventional imaging methods. | ||
| On Demand | Active and Passive 3D Seismic Survey Around the Scrovegni Chapel Using Autonomous Nodes E-Lecture Recording | Ilaria Barone | New E-lectures | E-Lecture Recording | On Demand | On Demand | EAGE | this e-lecture shows how to perform preliminary analyses of passive seismic data, in order to assess their characteristics: noise source distribution, time variability, frequency content, etc. a processing sequence to extract virtual source gathers from continuous passive records is shown, which is effective in overcoming the noise directionality issue. results obtained using a small-scale dense 3d dataset, acquired for archaeological prospection around the scrovegni chapel in padua (italy), demonstrate the potential of passive seismic interferometry in very complex environments such as urban areas. | ||
| On Demand | Comparing predicted and actual reservoir properties and performance of geothermal projects in the Slochteren Formation, the Netherlands E-Lecture Recording | Lara Borst | New E-lectures | E-Lecture Recording | On Demand | On Demand | EAGE | a trend seen in many geothermal projects in the netherlands is that the thermal power of a finalised project is different than expected beforehand. to understand where this comes from, we have compared the forecasted and actual reservoir parameters and performance of several geothermal projects in the slochteren formation. this provided us with insights on what parameters cause this mismatch, leading to improvements that can be done to the feasibility method to more correctly estimate the thermal power of a geothermal project. in this lecture we will share our lessons learnt with you. | ||
| On Demand | Seismic Monitoring of the United Downs Deep Geothermal Power Project (UDDGP) Site with Public Seismic Networks E-Lecture Recording | German Rodriguez | New E-lectures | E-Lecture Recording | On Demand | On Demand | EAGE | the uddgp located near redruth, cornwall, uk, consists of two adjacent deviated wells drilled in a hot granitic formation at depths of 5275 and 2329 metres, and intersecting the porthtowan fault zone to allow a natural hydraulic communication between the wells. shortly after flow-testing operations began in august 2020, a series of induced seismic events, with a maximum magnitude of 1.7 and a maximum intensity level 3 (i.e., weak vibrations) have occurred. although these magnitude and intensity levels don’t represent significant seismic hazard to local communities or infrastructure, it’s important to have a detailed characterization of the microseismicity associated with operational wells to better understand the geomechanical processes associated with injection, and to assess the likelihood of continued operations leading to the occurrence of higher magnitude induced events. we utilize publicly-available data from stations within 20 km of the uddgp site, including one bgs national network station and eight raspberry shake stations with short-period, vertical geophones, to relocate the epicentres of the induced events reported by the bgs, and to extract the focal mechanism of the highest-magnitude events. we then use the observed event magnitudes to forecast expected event magnitudes should induced seismicity continue to be generated at the site. | ||
| On Demand | In Pursuit of Increased Seismic Resolution while preserving Amplitude Fidelity E-Lecture Recording | Joseph Reilly | Seismic Acquisition | Seismic Acquisition | E-Lecture Recording | On Demand | On Demand | EAGE | in this eage e-lecture: advances in acquisition and processing technology are an enabler for improving the resolution of our seismic images. however, care must be taken to ensure these imaging enhancements retain the amplitude fidelity necessary to allow for accurate reservoir identification and characterization; including detailed avo/dhi analysis. acquisition, processing and interpretation all play important and interrelated roles in obtaining the maximum utility from the seismic data. in this electure we will discuss where resolution and data fidelity can be gained or lost, what factors primarily determine bandwidth recovery, and what decisions still need to be made in a somewhat subjective, target oriented manner. in the presentation data from the guyana marine deepwater environment will be used to demonstrate fundamental principles and the evolution of acquisition and processing workflows over the history of this project. finally, we will suggest areas where additional improvements can be achieved in seismic field technologies, processing and interpretations workflows. | |
| On Demand | Full Waveform Inversion of Love Waves in Anisotropic Media E-Lecture Recording | Valérie Krampe | E-Lecture Recording | On Demand | On Demand | EAGE | this eage e-lecture: "full waveform inversion of love waves in anisotropic media" (valérie krampe, eth zürich), deals with the integration of vertical transverse isotropy in seismic full waveform inversion. vertical transverse isotropy is a type of anisotropy that is typical for horizontally layered sediments. our focus lies on near-surface applications of full waveform inversion, where the wavefield is dominated by surface waves. by inverting only the sh-component of the seismic data, the inverse problem is reduced to three independent parameters, namely the vertical and horizontal s-wave velocities and density. with numerical examples, we show that the two velocity models can accurately be resolved by full waveform inversion. in comparison to an isotropic inversion, a more comprehensive subsurface model can be obtained, which allows a better characterization of shallow anisotropic media. | |||
| On Demand | Automated top and base salt interpretation using machine learning E-Lecture Recording | Oddgeir Gramstad | Data Science | Machine Learning | E-Lecture Recording | On Demand | On Demand | EAGE | this e-lecture: "automated top and base salt interpretation using machine learning" describes a new automated workflow based on machine learning which can significantly reduce the amount of manual interpretation of the top and the base salt boundaries. manual interpretation of salt boundaries on large seismic surveys with complex salt geometry is a time-consuming task. the interpreters typically need to scan through the seismic volume and pick surface control points line-by-line. it can take more than a month to complete a top or a base of salt interpretation. in this new method, two convolutional neural nets are designed to detect the top and the base of salt boundaries and the training data are picked as 2d images on two manual interpretations in a specific seismic survey. the trained networks are then evaluated both on the seismic data used in the training and on another seismic data not used in the training. in both cases we can produce a top and base salt interpretation that covers the main parts of the corresponding manual interpretations. the results can be further improved by adding more training data. this new automated workflow has the potential to reduce the interpretation turnaround time of both top and base of salt from approximately a month or more and down to hours. | |
| On Demand | Assessing the link between EMI data and hydrocarbon pollution at a former refinery site E-Lecture Recording | Luis Cavalcante Fraga | Near Surface | Non-seismic Methods | E-Lecture Recording | On Demand | On Demand | EAGE | this eage e-lecture: "assessing the link between emi data and hydrocarbon pollution at a former refinery site" brownfield redevelopment is an answer to create potential building areas inside cities and avoid urban sprawl. however, soils and groundwater in place have often been contaminated by former activities. environmental assessments (ea) are thus necessary to characterize and estimate the contaminated volume of soils and the site rehabilitation cost. nevertheless, classical investigation techniques (boreholes, piezometers, sample analysis) can only provide punctual observations and are cost and time intensive. electromagnetic induction (emi) methods in the frequency domain can complement these investigations and map electromagnetic soil properties (soil-apparent electrical conductivity and in-phase component) in a quasi-continuous way at a site scale. linking these indirect geophysical properties to the soil chemical analysis through a geostatistical modelling could provide a better quantification of the pollution source and its spreading. besides, the effect of urban emi noises from urban utilities (transmission wires, underground cables and structures…) must be assessed for a successful data fusion. to evaluate the feasibility of this geophysical-geochemical-geostatistical approach, we present the first results of a study conducted over a 3 000 m² brownfield site. | |
| On Demand | Joint VP and VS Monte Carlo Inversion from Surface Wave Data E-Lecture Recording | Farbod Anjom | Seismic Processing | Seismic Processing | E-Lecture Recording | On Demand | On Demand | EAGE | this eage e-lecture: "joint vp and vs monte carlo inversion from surface wave data" in common seismic surface wave methods, the surface wave dispersion curve is exploited to estimate the s-wave velocity (vs) model. since the dispersion curve is poorly sensitive to p-wave velocity (vp), the vp models usually are not the target of these methods. recently, the concept of the wavelength-depth (w/d) relationship, which is proven to be sensitive to both vs and vp, has been introduced. the joint inversion method presented in this e-lecture considers both surface wave dispersion curve and w/d relationship to estimate high-resolution vs and vp models. the method’s application to a field data set from a controlled site is shown, and the estimated vs and vp models are compared with benchmark values. | |
| On Demand | Seismic Attenuation: Friend or Foe E-Lecture Recording | Mark Vardy | Seismic Processing | Seismic Processing | E-Lecture Recording | On Demand | On Demand | EAGE | in this eage e-lecture: "seismic attenuation: friend or foe", we assess the role of attenuation in marine near surface seismic reflection data sets and discuss whether it is a potentially useful property for quantitative characterisation of the subsurface. the basic theory of intrinsic attenuation is briefly outlined, introducing the seismic quality factor (q-factor) parameter. we show several methods that can be used to make estimates of the subsurface q-factor from single-channel or short-offset seismic reflection data and how basic data quality can be improved by compensating for attenuation. moreover, we look at how variations in q-factor reflect changing ground conditions, demonstrating a strong link with sediment lithology and drained versus undrain soil mechanical behaviour. by combining q-factor estimates with more standard geophysical parameters (p-wave velocity and/or impedance) we illustrate how fundamental ground conditions can be inferred using geophysical data alone. as such, we suggest that attenuation should be considered a useful quantitative parameter, alongside reflection amplitude, phase and frequency. | |
| On Demand | METIS, a field-proof innovative method to revolutionize onshore seismic acquisition E-Lecture Recording | Bruno Pagliaccia | Seismic Acquisition | Seismic Acquisition | E-Lecture Recording | On Demand | On Demand | EAGE | in this eage e-lecture: "metis, a field-proof innovative method to revolutionize onshore seismic acquisition": metis (multiphysics exploration technology integrated system) is an randd project aimed to make seismic acquisition 4.0 a reality. from logistics to real-time data qc, the entire process has been redesigned with an holistic approach. an hybrid airship to replace helicopter, wireless/real-time/biodegradable sensors to automatize data acquisition and a command and control center to operate the system from the base camp. all these elements will allow low-cost, safe and efficient seismic operations in hard-to-reach places like the tropical rainforest of papua new guinea (png). end of 2017, the main technological bricks have been tested on prl 15 concession, located onshore png, with a demonstration pilot where more than 60 darts were successfully dropped from a drone, through the canopy, to the ground with a good coupling. after few shots made with a mud-gun, real-time data acquisition has been validated in one of the most challenging environment to acquire seismic data. this first step is paving the way to the next pilot where a full 3d seismic volume will be acquired after thousands of sensors dropped by an autonomous swarm of drones. | |
| On Demand | FWI with Optimal Transport: a 3D Implementation and an Application on a Field Dataset E-Lecture Recording | Jeremie Messud | E-Lecture Recording | On Demand | On Demand | EAGE | in this e-lecture: "fwi with optimal transport: a 3d implementation and an application on a field dataset", we present the application to a 3d real dataset of full waveform inversion (fwi) with optimal transport (ot) using the kantorovich-rubinstein (kr) distance as proposed by métivier et al. (2016). this approach involves an efficient numerical implementation for ot in time and space directions, allowing the lateral coherency of the traces to be taken into account; this has an important impact on the quality of the results. the approach also exhibits a reduced sensitivity to local minima compared to least squares (lsq) misfit. moreover the iterative method used for the computation of the kr distance allows the production of a set of intermediary solutions that span progressively from lsq to ot. we recall the main components of the approach and present its numerical implementation in 3d. we show the improvement of the results compared to lsq fwi on real datasets. | |||
| On Demand | Quantitative prediction of injected CO2 at Sleipner using wave-equation based AVO E-Lecture Recording | Peter Haffinger | Reservoir Characterization | Rock Physics | E-Lecture Recording | On Demand | On Demand | EAGE | in this eage e-lecture: "quantitative prediction of injected co2 at sleipner using wave-equation based avo", wave-equation based amplitude-versus-offset inversion is a fundamentally new approach towards converting seismic pre-stack data into elastic subsurface properties. by solving the full elastic wave-equation, the routinely made assumption of a linear relationship between seismic amplitudes and reservoir properties is overcome. as a consequence interbed multiples, mode conversions and transmission effects over the inversion interval are properly accounted for. additionally, the method directly solves for compressibility and shear compliance, which are approximately three times more sensitive to fluid and lithology changes when compared to impedances. this makes the technology suitable for quantitative interpretation even in geologically highly complex scenarios. in this e-lecture, a high level introduction to wave-equation based avo inversion will be given and an application to the sleipner carbon capture and storage (ccs) project will be presented. | |

Naeini | E-Lecture Recording | On Demand | On Demand | EAGE | it is relatively well known that migration stretches the waveforms of dipping reflections. it is less well known how this impacts quantitative interpretation of the data where, at the heart of such workflows, the seismic is tied to the well and subsequently inverted to obtain acoustic and/or elastic properties. it is shown here how migration stretch distorts well tie, coloured inversion, and model-based inversion. a post migration first-order zero-offset deconvolution is introduced to remedy this drawback, and the result is demonstrated on a synthetic and a reverse time migrated image. finally, it is argued that full-waveform inversion would inherently handle the dips without any need for stretch correction.

| On Demand | Depth Domain Inversion: a Least-squares Migration Approach to Quantitative Interpretation E-Lecture Recording | Claudio Leone | E-Lecture Recording | On Demand | On Demand | EAGE | qi workflows assume that seismic amplitudes are only linked to contrasts in rock properties, and that other wave propagation effects such as illumination, absorption, etc. have been addressed during seismic data processing and imaging. this assumption is often not met. the consequence is that 1d wavelets can’t adequately relate seismic amplitudes to reflectivity contrasts, and conventional time-domain inversion approaches inevitably struggle to accurately estimate the elastic rock properties. the effects of irregular illumination can be modelled by point spread functions (psfs), and removed from the seismic image with an inversion directly in the depth domain (fletcher et at., 2012). this technique, called depth domain inversion (ddi), improves imaging and inversion results by correcting for the effects of irregular illumination caused by the geological structure and overburden velocity variations. a north sea case study is presented where ddi is enhances amplitude fidelity and resolution beneath cemented sand injectites. | |||

| On Demand | Reservoir Elastic Parameters Estimation from Surface Seismic Data using JMI-res: A Full-Wavefield Approach E-Lecture Recording | Aayush Garg | E-Lecture Recording | On Demand | On Demand | EAGE | traditionally, reservoir elastic parameters inversion suffers from the unaccounted overburden multiple scattering and transmission imprint in the local input data used for the target-oriented inversion. in this e-lecture, we present a full-wavefield approach, called reservoir-oriented joint migration inversion (jmi-res), to estimate the high-resolution reservoir elastic parameters from surface seismic data. in the jmi-res, we reconstruct the fully redatumed virtual source-receiver data (local impulse responses) within the earth subsurface, while correctly accounting for the overburden internal multiples and transmission losses. then, we apply a localized elastic full waveform inversion on the local impulse responses to get the elastic parameters. we show that jmi-res provides much more reliable local target impulse responses, thus yielding high-resolution elastic parameters, compared to a standard redatuming procedure based on time reversal of data. moreover, this approach avoids the need to go full elastic for the whole subsurface, as within jmi-res elastic full waveform inversion is only restricted to the reservoir target domain. | |||

| On Demand | Seismic Spatial Gradient Measurements E-Lecture Recording | Nihed el Allouche | Near Surface | Non-seismic Methods | E-Lecture Recording | On Demand | On Demand | EAGE | rotation measurements have found applications in various fields of geophysics ranging from near-surface archaeological mapping to large scale upper mantle tomographic inversion. in the absence of a cost-effective sensor sensitive over the typical seismic frequency bandwidth, rotation measurement can be approximated by finite-differencing the response of the vertical particle velocity over a short distance. accurate estimates of the horizontal gradient of the vertical wavefield can be obtained when perturbations associated with the measurement are minimised. these perturbations can be sensor related, for example geophone sensitivity and natural frequency, and/or deployment related such as tilt and coupling errors. in this e-lecture, we show how perturbations can affect the gradient measurement (the tilt error turns out to be dominant) and discuss the minimum receiver spacing required to avoid the impact of perturbations dominating the gradient estimates. we also discuss a “sensitivity” chart ranking the perturbations according to impact and indicate which one of these needs to be minimised in order to obtain reliable gradient estimates. | |
| On Demand | A 2nd-order Adjoint Truncated Newton Approach to Time-domain Multiparameter Full Waveform Inversion in Viscoacoustic Medium E-Lecture Recording | Pegliang Yang | Seismic Processing | Seismic Processing | E-Lecture Recording | On Demand | On Demand | EAGE | this e-lecture introduces a 2nd-order adjoint truncated newton approach to time-domain multiparameter full waveform inversion in viscoacoustic medium. a truncated newton method for time-domain full waveform inversion in visco-acoustic medium is developed using 2nd-order adjoint state formulation. time-domain gradient and hessian-vector product are built by recomputing the incident and adjoint wavefields. after the design of an efficient preconditioner, the importance of the inverse hessian for mitigating inter-parameter trade-off is validated on a toy example. a realistic 2d synthetic mimicking north-sea real data application demonstrates that considering hessian influence significantly improves the multi-parameter reconstruction, for a reasonable increase of the computational cost compared to standard quasi-newton method. | |
| On Demand | Theory for Marchenko Imaging of Marine Seismic Data with Free Surface Multiple Elimination E-Lecture Recording | Evert Slob | Seismic Processing | Seismic Processing | E-Lecture Recording | On Demand | On Demand | EAGE | this e-lecture: theory for marchenko imaging of marine seismic data with free surface multiple elimination; introduces the theory for reflector imaging from marine seismic data that include ghosts, free surface and internal multiple reflections. first, we look at building the necessary redatuming operators from the data when the free surface would not be present. the redatuming operators are found as the focusing functions that are not influenced by the presence or absence of the free surface. next, a matrix equation is found from which the focusing functions are computed using the measured data decomposition into up- and downgoing waves. no other processing steps are required. the scheme does not need information about the source time signature or the actual character of the free surface. a macro-model is necessary to construct an estimate of the direct part of the focusing function. the ghost, free surface and internal multiple reflections do not create false images and an artefact free image is obtained. | |
| On Demand | Virtual Seismology: monitoring the subsurface with virtual sources and receivers E-Lecture Recording | Kees Wapenaar | Seismic Acquisition | Seismic Acquisition | E-Lecture Recording | On Demand | On Demand | EAGE | this e-lecture introduces virtual seismology: monitoring the subsurface with virtual sources and receivers, which is a new methodology to create virtual sources and virtual receivers in the subsurface from reflection measurements at the earth's surface. unlike in seismic interferometry, no physical instrument (receiver or source) is needed at the position of the virtual source or receiver. moreover, no detailed knowledge of the subsurface parameters and structures is required: a smooth velocity model suffices. yet, the responses to the virtual sources, observed by the virtual receivers, fully account for multiple scattering. this method is not only useful for reflection imaging but is has also large potential for monitoring induced seismicity, characterizing the source properties and forecasting the response to potential future induced earthquakes. this will be demonstrated with numerical models and preliminary real-data results. | |

| On Demand | The Importance of Overburden Stress Path in Assessment of Stress Dependence for 4D Applications E-Lecture Recording | Rune M. Holt | Geomechanics | Geomechanics | E-Lecture Recording | On Demand | On Demand | EAGE | the importance of overburden stress path in assessment of stress dependence for 4d applications. in time-lapse (4d) seismic, slow-down in the overburden is often seen as a footprint of depletion in subsurface reservoirs. the work presented in this lecture has demonstrated that for stress changes around the in situ stress, laboratory measured stress and strain sensitivity of a field shale core depends strongly on the stress path. translated to the field, the stress path describes how horizontal stress varies with changes in the vertical stress when stress arching occurs above a depleted (or inflated) site. geomechanical simulations are needed in order to identify the correct in situ stress path for each specific field situation, but 4d data may also provide guidelines towards the identification of the overburden stress path. | |
| On Demand | A Misfit Function Based on an Optimal Transport Distance for FWI E-Lecture Recording | Ludovic Métivier | E-Lecture Recording | On Demand | On Demand | EAGE | in the field of seismic imaging, full waveform inversion has become one of the key techniques to provide high resolution quantitative estimation of subsurface mechanical parameters such as wave velocities, density, attenuation, or anisotropy parameters. recent success stories have led both the academy and industry to investigate this technique. its applicability is however still limited for exploration targets, mostly because of the lack of low frequencies in the data which makes it difficult to correctly interpret the kinematic attributes of the wavefield. mitigating this issue is the motivation of the work proposed in this presentation. the strategy we present uses a new distance function between observed and calculated data, based on the optimal transport theory. this new distance provides a more convex misfit function: we show on several synthetic examples how this could help to make full waveform inversion a more robust and powerful tool. | |||

| On Demand | Seismic Anisotropy in Shaly Formations…Revisited E-Lecture Recording | Patrick N.J. Rasolofosaon | Rock Physics | Rock Physics | E-Lecture Recording | On Demand | On Demand | EAGE | seismic anisotropy, that is to say the directional dependence of seismic velocity, is quite common in sedimentary formations and is often linked to the presence of shale. if not correctly taken into account it can strongly affect surface seismic data interpretation, seismic to well tie and azimuth versus offset analysis. from the analysis of two large databases of up to 800 ‘shaly’ samples in a broad sense, including shales but also mudshale, clayshale, siltstone, argillite, claystone, siltshale, mudstone, we demonstrate that seismic anisotropy in such formations is to a large extent determined by factors other than compaction processes, such as depositional environment, chemical composition of fluid, silt fraction, etc. furthermore, the alignment of the individual clay platelets, main constituents of shales, can explain most of the anisotropy measurements of the databases. assuming the elastic properties of the individual clay platelets, we propose simple plots for straightforwardly quantifying the legendre orientation distribution function coefficients and of the clay platelet alignment from the measurement of seismic anisotropy parameters. | |

| On Demand | Resolving Near-Surface Velocity Anomalies in Marine Data E-Lecture Recording | Ian Jones | E-Lecture Recording | On Demand | On Demand | EAGE | unresolved velocity anomalies in the near surface degrade deeper imaging. as a consequence, great care needs to be taken to ensure that all significant near-surface effects have been dealt with before attempting to build the deeper parts of a velocity-depth model. in order to incorporate velocity anomalies into the model, a range of options can be used, depending on whether the geobody geometry alone is discernible, or whether its velocity distribution is also known. here i describe current industrial practice for building complex near-surface models, which is based on a range of approximate techniques, as well as the more complete solution offered by the emerging technology of waveform inversion. although building complex near surface models is a painstaking process, a suitable near-surface velocity model can usually be obtained. | |||
| On Demand | An Electromagnetic Survey Of A Gas Hydrate Vent Offshore Mid-Norway E-Lecture Recording | Gianluca Fiandaca | Near Surface | Non-seismic Methods | E-Lecture Recording | On Demand | On Demand | EAGE | andrei swidinsky describes a transient electromagnetic survey to image the resistivity structure of the hydrate vent cne03, offshore mid-norway (located approximately 10 km north of the storegga slide sidewall). the experiment is unique in that the electric dipole transmitter has two polarizations for each transmission station. furthermore, the newly designed transmitter is deployed in a pogo-style acquisition, which is suitable for a detailed investigation of a small scale seafloor target. the geometry of the experiment makes conventional interpretation methods difficult so that we simplify the data by creating a single rotationally invariant quantity from the original four electric field measurements (two electric field measurements for two transmitter polarizations). this invariant is further reduced to an apparent resistivity, which is useful for rapid resistivity mapping of the seafloor. results show that cne03 is characterized by increased apparent resistivities which correlate well with increased p-wave velocities determined from ocean bottom seismometer measurements. | |

| On Demand | Distributed Acoustic Sensing Cable for Surface Seismic E-Lecture Recording | Kees Hornman | Reservoir Characterization | Rock Physics | E-Lecture Recording | On Demand | On Demand | EAGE | distributed acoustic sensing (das) is a relatively novel technology, which uses a fibre-optic cable as sensor. advantages are that the cable is passive, it does not have separate detectors and the channel spacing can be set by the instrument. das has already found applications in monitoring of hydraulic fracturing and vsps. a downside is that a straight fibre has no broadside sensitivity and can therefore not be used for reflection seismic with horizontal cables. a helically wound cable (hwc) solves that problem; the video describes a field trial, which confirms the theoretically expected isotropic sensitivity of the hwc for p-waves. | |
| On Demand | Wave Equation Receiver Deghosting E-Lecture Recording | Craig Beasley | Seismic Acquisition | Seismic Acquisition | E-Lecture Recording | On Demand | On Demand | EAGE | current solutions to receiver deghosting of marine seismic data generally involve making complementary measurements of the wavefield or, alternatively, involve estimation of data not recorded due to ghost interference. in this talk, we introduce a new approach that rigorously deghosts single measurement data (p-wave only, for example) without relying on estimation of missing data, which was previously thought to be mathematically impossible. we use the wave equation to compute directly the up and downgoing wavefields between the receiver and the surface. this migration-like approach is possible given that the upcoming wavefield is causal with respect to the downgoing wavefield, a good assumption if certain types of noise such as the direct arrivals are removed from the recorded wavefield. moreover, our method exposes the underlying physics of the problem and thereby naturally allows for complexities such as variable water velocity, sea surface, complex surface reflection conditions and arbitrary receiver configurations. | |
