Seismic Data Processing With Seismic Un X

This book can be used as a primer to Seismic Un*x by those who may or may not already be familiar with seismic procesing using other software packages. Two real data sets - including one from a deepwater survey - are provided on accompanying CD-ROMs. Seismic Un*x is available online from the Center for Wave Phenomena at Colorado School of Mines.

Expanding the author's original work on processing to include inversion and interpretation, and including developments in all aspects of conventional processing, this two-volume set is a comprehensive and complete coverage of the modern trends in the seismic industry - from time to depth, from 3D to 4D, from 4D to 4C, and from isotropy to anisotropy.

Modern introduction to seismic data processing demonstrating exploration and global geophysics applications through real data and tutorial examples that can be demonstrated with the instructor's software of choice. The underlying physics and mathematics of analysis methods is presented, showing students the limitations and potential for creating models of the sub-surface.

Presents an advanced overview of Digital Signal Processing and its applications to exploration seismology, for electrical engineers, geophysicists and petroleum professionals.

Provides a foundation for understanding the fascinating field of seismic processing, addressing that portion which precedes migration. Written for the non-expert, this volume reveals the limitations and potential pitfalls of seismic data, explains seismic processing operations as a series of solutions to problems, and more.

Bridging the gap between modern image processing practices by the scientific community at large and the world of geology and reflection seismology This book covers the basics of seismic exploration, with a focus on image processing techniques as applied to seismic data. Discussions of theories, concepts, and algorithms are followed by synthetic and real data examples to provide the reader with a practical understanding of the image processing technique and to enable the reader to apply these techniques to seismic data. The book will also help readers interested in devising new algorithms, software and hardware for interpreting seismic data. Key Features: Provides an easy to understand overview of popular seismic processing and interpretation techniques from the point of view of a digital signal processor. Presents image processing concepts that may be readily applied directly to seismic data. Includes ready-to-run MATLAB algorithms for most of the techniques presented. The book includes essential research and teaching material for digital signal and image processing individuals interested in learning seismic data interpretation from the point of view of digital signal processing. It is an ideal resource for students, professors and working professionals who are interested in learning about the application of digital signal processing theory and algorithms to seismic data.
