In this volume, the geologic framework is established with review papers by experts in carbonate generation, rock properties, sequence and seismic stratigraphy, and structural deformation. Then seismic expression of carbonate terranes is explored in case studies showing the importance of integrating seismic and petrophysical control with geologic models.

Basic Geophysics takes us on a journey that shows how the achievements of our predecessors have paved the way for modern exploration seismology. From the ancient Greeks through the Enlightenment to the greats of the contemporary age, the reasoning behind basic principles is explored and clarified. With that foundation, advanced topics are examined.

To overcome ambiguities in analysis, articles in this volume cover the chronology of physical modelling from late 1920s Japan to the laser-ultrasonic experiments of the 1990s. The applications include interpretation of complicated subsurface structures, research into elastic and anisotropic wave phenomena, and teaching of fundamental seismic principles.

This illustration-rich book explains seismic data acquisition operations from a fundamental and practical standpoint, ranging from land to marine 2D methods to 3D seismic methods. Helpful to geologists, field crews, exploration managers, petroleum engineers, and geophysicists, each chapter concludes with exercises on field data recording problems.

Examines the unique aspects of vector wavefields, anisotropy, and the important relationships that unify S-waves and P-waves. It is suitable for geophysicists, geologists, and engineers, especially those involved with the use of AVO/A inversion, fracture/stress characterization analyses, or interpretation in gas-obscured reservoirs.

Addresses the methodology of an amplitude interpretation and the subsequent benefits and limitations expected in rock-property settings. Included are relationships between rock properties and geophysical observations, practical problems, field examples, general rules, and case histories.

The impact of petrophysical heterogeneity at various scales on oil and gas recovery provides the focus for this book. Designed for geoscientists and engineers, it explores improved linkage among techniques used to describe and model reservoirs, with the ultimate objective of enabling technical staff members to maximize hydrocarbon recovery.

Describes the main business drivers of the operator and how seismic data help address subsurface uncertainties. This volume discusses delineation, development, production, and geophysics applications in heavy-oil and carbonate reservoirs, and includes problems based on actual projects. Illustrations contain examples that focus on business value.

Explores fundamentals of theory by Hooke, Navier, Cauchy, Green, Kelvin, Stokes, and Betti, key anisotropy papers by Christoffel and Rudzki, fundamentals of reflection and transmission amplitudes by Knott and Zoeppritz, waves by Rayleigh, Love, and Stoneley, the first synthetic seismogram by Lamb, and poroelasticity by Gassmann.

Provides an overview of the sensitivity of elastic waves in the earth to in situ stress, pore pressure, and the anisotropy of the rock fabric. A variety of applications and real data examples is presented, with particular emphasis placed on the rock-physics basis underlying the use of geophysical data for solving geomechanical problems.

Covers the application and impact of 4D monitoring for the oil and gas industry, along with requirements, modelling, and acquisition techniques to ensure good data acquisition and use in diagnosing reservoir production effects and updating reservoir simulation models, key lessons on measuring small production differences are highlighted.

A collection of the seventh through the fourteenth years of "Interpreter Sam” columns from The Leading Edge, this book "carries on” with the stories of the fictitious Interpreter Sam, the sometimes hero, sometimes victim, and most often innocent bystander in circumstances typical of a seismic interpreter's career in the oil and gas industry.
