| Seismic Anisotropy: Basic Theory and Applications | ||
Ilya Tsvankin, CSM |
||
|
|
||
| Elastic anisotropy, widely recognized as a typical feature of sedimentary formations, can have a strong influence on seismic data. For example, the difference between the stacking and vertical velocity in anisotropic media is the most common reason for mis-ties in time-to-depth conversion. This course provides the necessary background information about anisotropic wave propagation and discusses modeling, inversion and processing of seismic reflection data in the presence of anisotropy. The main emphasis of the course is on practical parameter-estimation methods for transversely isotropic and orthorhombic subsurface models. | ||
| Wavefield Seismic Imaging | ||
Paul Sava, CSM |
||
The Wavefield Seismic Imaging course provides a survey of current seismic imaging methods designed for acoustic wavefield data. Wavefield seismic imaging (also known as wave-equation migration) is presented in a unified theoretical framework in connection with related topics, including migration velocity analysis (MVA) and amplitude versus angle analysis (AVA). The main target audience for this course are graduate students engaged in seismic imaging research and practicing geophysicists with a basic understanding of seismic data processing and imaging who wish to get familiar with modern imaging techniques available to the industry. Geologists and reservoir engineers can also benefit from a short version of this course, by familiarizing with the underlying concepts behind practical imaging techniques, their applicability and limitations. |

| Mathematics of Modeling, Migration and Inversion with Gaussian Beams | ||
Norm Bleistein, University Emeritus Professor http://www.cwp.mines.edu/~norm/ email: norblei@gmail.com |
||
This course is designed for data processing developers with some knowledge of ray theory, migration/inversion methods, and a desire to learn the fundamentals of modeling, migration and inversion using Gaussian beams. As such, it is a course dense in mathematical ideas underlying the theory and implementation of Gaussian beams in seismic modeling. For simplicity of exposition, the ideas are presented for an acoustic model only. Hence, a title beginning "Mathematics of... ." |
