Data-Driven Estimation of the Sensitivity of Target-Oriented Time-Lapse Seismic Imaging to Source Geometry
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Earth Resources Laboratory, 2012)The goal of time-lapse imaging is to identify and characterize regions in which the earth's material properties have changed between surveys. This requires an effective deployment of sources and receivers to monitor the ... -
Fracture quality images from 4D VSP and microseismic data at Jonah Field, WY.
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Earth Resources Laboratory, 2009)Natural and induced fractures provide the only means of production in tight gas sand reservoirs. The objective of this work is to locate and characterize natural and induced fractures from the analysis of scattered waves ... -
Monitoring Seismic Attenuation Changes Using a 4D Relative Spectrum Method in Athabsca Heavy Oil Reservoir, Canada
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Earth Resources Laboratory, 2012)Heating heavy oil reservoirs is a common method for reducing the high viscosity of heavy oil and thus increasing the recovery factor. Monitoring these changes in the reservoir is essential for delineating the heated region ...
