Most seismic surveys carried out in offshore Brazil consist of narrow-azimuth towed-streamer (NATS) acquisitions. In areas such as the South Atlantic offshore basins, the geological complexity results in illumination issues for NATS acquisitions, especially in the deep pre-salt section. Both Full-Waveform Inversion Imaging (FWI ...

Recent technology advancements have enabled us to revisit the Foz do Amazonas (2014) and Barreirinhas (2016) narrow-azimuth towed-streamer (NATS) seismic surveys and tackle specific imaging challenges in a way that the legacy processing could not. In an exploratory frontier such as the Brazilian Equatorial ...

Monument field is located in the northwest part of Walker Ridge in the Gulf of Mexico, with a Paleogene sandstone reservoir ?9 km below sea surface. The complicated overburden of low reflectivity shale bodies and complex salt geometries with steep salt flanks, multi-level weld ...

Free-surface multiple prediction of land data is challenging due to the unknown downward reflecting free-surface combined with poorly sampled recording of the shallow multiple generators. We use a wave-equation deconvolution approach to derive an image of the shallow multiple generators using the multiple periodicity ...

Heavily faulted and karstified carbonate overburden poses potential geohazards for well drilling in West Papua, offshore Indonesia. Hence, high-resolution seismic images that capture geological details, such as karstified faults and small-scale caves within the carbonate, are highly desirable. In this study, two aspects play ...

The Trion field in the western Gulf of Mexico (GoM) exhibits folded sediment beddings and strong attenuation bodies, which pose great challenges for seismic imaging. After a decade of processing effort employing the latest imaging technology, the available towed-streamer data for this area hit ...

Targeting of stratigraphic traps is rapidly becoming a successful exploration strategy, especially in relatively mature basins where a high proportion of structural traps have been tested. The development of robust geological and trap models, integrated with the results of seismic inversion, are key steps ...

An incorrect anisotropy in the Full Wave Inversion (FWI) velocity model leads to imperfect Common Image Gather (CIG) flatness. The main difficulty in the anisotropy estimation through FWI is the strong coupling with velocity. While FWI jointly updating velocity and anisotropy has been proposed ...

Seismic imaging is particularly challenging in the Middle East. The shallow geology is often characterized by strong velocity contrasts from layered sands and carbonates that create multiples and mode conversions. Capturing these velocity variations is essential for accurate imaging. While re-cent developments in full-waveform ...
