Seismic Imaging Methods and Applications for Oil and Gas Exploration

Seismic Imaging Methods and Application for Oil and Gas Exploration connects the legacy of field data processing and imaging with new research methods using diffractions and anisotropy in the field of geophysics. Topics covered include seismic data acquisition, seismic data processing, seismic wave modeling, high-resolution imaging, and anisotropic modeling and imaging. This book is a necessary resource for geophysicist working in the oil and gas and mineral exploration industries, as well as for students and academics in exploration geophysics. - Provides detailed methods that are used in the industry, including advice on which methods to use in specific situations - Compares classical methods with the latest technologies to improve practice and application in the real world - Includes case studies for further explanation of methods described in the book
