SUMMARY The oil and natural gas energy supply situation changed dramatically in the United States and in North America between 2000 and 2013. A new ability to extract economically both natural gas and oil from shale resource rocks has recently made t

We sometimes encounter situations in seismic imaging in which knowing the position of key reflectors between wells would be very useful. In many crosswell data sets, both transmission and reflection traveltimes for selected reflectors can be picked.

In most geometries in which seismic-traveltime tomography is applied (e.g., crosswell, surface-reflection, and VSP), determination of the slowness field using only traveltimes is not a well-conditioned problem. Nonuniqueness is common. Even when the

We present a procedure that solves the eikonal equation for general anisotropic media. It allows one to incorporate arbitrary shapes and types of anisotropic formations. We use an expanding-wavefront scheme and explicit tracking of group velocity pro

It is difficult to resolve the ambiguity between velocity and reflector depth using reflection traveltimes when the aperture is small, as is common for deep reflectors. For velocity perturbations that are independent of the vertical variable, there i

In the last decade, much of 3D seismic signal processing has been replaced by the single imaging process called prestack depth migration. Rapid advances in resolution and illumination have changed the way we explore, delineate, and monitor reservoirs

A carbon dioxide (CO2) injection pilot project is underway in Section 205 of the McElroy field, West Texas. High‐resolution crosswell seismic imaging surveys were conducted before and after CO2 flooding to monitor the CO2 flood process and map the

Least squares or [Formula: see text] solutions of seismic inversion and tomography problems tend to be very sensitive to data points with large errors. The [Formula: see text] minimization for 1 ≤ p < 2 gives more robust solutions, but usually with

Seismic reflection tomography obtains an estimate of the subsurface slowness field and the location of strong reflectors by minimizing the difference between measured travel times from seismic reflection events and the corresponding travel times comp

A carbon dioxide flood pilot is being conducted in a section of Chevron’s McElroy field in Crane County, west Texas. Prior to [Formula: see text] injection, two high‐frequency crosswell seismic profiles were recorded to investigate the use of sei
