Modern SubBasalt Seismic Imaging Figure 4: Successive crosslines undertaken on the 3D overunder survey in the westcoast off India display numerous features under basalt such as the sag basin, fractures, faults and folding. KT boundary layer is clearly seen as major change in frequency content.

meters of basalt, rhyolite, and sediments of Cenozoic age. In some areas within the Snake River Plain, as much as 1 km of interbedded basalt and sediments lies on top of older, rhyolitic volcanic rocks (Walker, 1964). The basalt flows in the upper 150 m of the Snake River Plain are mostly compound poehoe flows, 3to5m
Eventbased subbasalt imaging applied to marine seismic data from north of Shetland, UK. Norwegian Journal of Geology vol 88, pp 167183. Trondheim 2008. ISSN 029196X Seismic wave propagation in media with highvelocity layers (basalts) can be described as an interference of various events commonly referred to as wave types or modes.

Mar 16, 2018· Imaging below the basalt for hydrocarbon exploration is a global problem because of poor penetration and significant loss of seismic energy due to scattering, attenuation, absorption and modeconversion when the seismic waves encounter a highly heterogeneous and rugose basalt layer. The conventional (short offset) seismic data acquisition, processing and modeling techniques adopted by .

below a basalt layer. However, due to shape irregularities and het erogeneities with high velocity contrasts around and within the basalts, it can be challenging for seismic processing to image the base of the basaltic layer and details of what is below . [For example, s ee Fliedner and White (2001) ].

Seismic imaging of subbasalt sedimentary layers is difficult due to high impedance of the basalt layer, the roughness of the top and bottom of the basalt layer and sometimes the heterogeneities within the basalt layer. In this thesis we identify specific problems within the modern imaging technology which limit subbasalt imaging. The basic
streamers for sub‑basalt seismic imaging To evaluate the optimal technique for imaging beneath a complex basalt layer, Robert Dowle,1* Fabrice Mandroux,1 Robert Soubaras,1 and Gareth Williams2 compare dense wideazimuth and broadband towed streamer acquisition solutions when deployed in an experimental survey in the FaroeShetland Basin. A

Abstract Imaging below the basalt for hydrocarbon exploration is a global problem because of poor penetration and significant loss of seismic energy due to scattering, attenuation, absorption and modeconversion when the seismic waves encounter a highly heterogeneous and rugose basalt layer.
quence of basalt flows originating from a series of vents. The final site, Mountain Home, is located in a faultbounded sedimentary basin with both surface and buried basalt layers. Here, we discuss surface and borehole results using vertical seismic profiling (VSP) and surface seismic methods to show
Processing and interpretation of reflection seismic data from a basaltcovered area Significant parts of the Norwegian Sea and adjacent northeast Atlantic Ocean have a basalt cover at shallow depth. In much of this area there are prospective petroleum resources both beneath and intercalated with the basalt.
Seismic properties of layer 2 basalts ... Daley et al., 2004], but seismic monitoring in basalt environments ... is more effectively used and behavior is more clearly linked to processing. A ...
Further, there can be strong inhomogeneities within the salt/basalt. That makes it difficult to reconstruct a structural image of the subsurface below the top salt/basalt interface. Determining the thickness and structure of sediment packages covered by a layer of salt or basalt is very challenging using seismic .
gathers for processing facilitates the processing of the actual seismic data by allowing existing geological knowledge to complement datadriven velocity determinations. Introduction The sub basalt seismic imaging is problem in KrishnaGodavari basin. Event though the modalities of
A seismic line displayed in GEO ExPro caught the interest of a dedicated geologist as he spotted a pattern that resembled that of a major oil discovery he knew very well. His observation eventually led to Chevron''s application in the Norwegian 20th licensing round for acreage that may include a large prospect along the North Atlantic Volcanic Margin.
In this paper we summarize the acquisition and processing of the multicomponent seismic swath, and present observations on the integration of P and S waveform sonic logs with information from resistivitybased image logs to determine regional and local stress tensors and to improve identification of subsurface basalt lithofacies. 2.
