We present a numerical study of seismic imaging of hydraulically stimulated fractures using a single source from an adjacent fracturing-process. The source is either a point force generated from the perforation of the ...

Multi-component elastic seismic data collected at large offsets have the potential to be used in seismic imaging and velocity analysis. In this study, we present an approach for converted-phase elastic-transmission migration ...

Identifying the relationship between surface seismic data and a particular region in the earth, referred to as visibility analysis, is important because it facilitates the optimization of the quality and speed of the imaging ...

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 ...

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 ...
