Methods for Generation of Fracture Density Maps from Seismic Data

BACKGROUND Fractures, pre-existing planes of weaknesses in rock units, play a critical role in determining the production potential of reservoirs that are developed through lateral/horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing (“fracking”). Knowledge of fracture orientation and/or extent is key to production in formations. Rock fractures...

Methods for Detecting Biofilm In-Situ from Seismic Data

BACKGROUND Formation of biofilms is a predominant way of life for most microorganisms in the environment. Biofilms comprise extracellular polysaccharides (EPS), which is a gel type material playing a vital role in attachment of microbial cells to growth surfaces. Biofilms are quintessential byproducts of hydrocarbon degradation. Thus, their detection...

Method for Deriving Minimum-Phase Source-Signature from Multi-Channel Multi-Offset Seismic Data

BACKGROUND A seismic survey is designed to image or map the subsurface of the earth by sending energy generated by a seismic source down into the ground and recording the “echoes” that return from the rock layers below. The source of seismic energy might be, for example, explosions or seismic vibrators on land or air guns in marine environments....

Method for Preventing Sediment Disruption due to Degassing in Coring Operations

BACKGROUND Volume expansion of sediments in coring operations due to sediment degassing as they travel from the higher pressure subsurface to the lower pressure drilling platform is a known problem. At reasonable depth below the seafloor, the sediments do not flow like slurry as they are more consolidated and have an inherent texture that contains...
