Stratal slicing, Part I: Realistic 3-D seismic model
TL;DR: In this article, the authors demonstrate that a seismic event does not necessarily follow an impedance boundary defined by a geological time surface, and instead, the position of a filtered impedance boundary relative to the seismic time surface may vary with seismic frequency because of inadequate resolution of seismic data and the en echelon or ramp arrangement of impedance anomalies of sandstone.
Journal ArticleDOI
Wide-band velocity filtering; The Pie-Slice process
TL;DR: In this article, a new technique was developed which makes it possible to process a seismic record-section in such a way that all seismic events with dips in a given range are preserved with no alteration over a wide frequency band, while all earthquakes with dips outside the specified range are uniformly and severely attenuated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Water reverberations—their nature and elimination
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of the water layer is treated as a linear filtering mechanism, and it is suggested that most apparent water reverberation records probably contain some approximate subsurface structural information, even in their present form.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interpretive advantages of 90°-phase wavelets: Part 1 — Modeling
Hongliu Zeng,Milo M. Backus +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the benefits of using 90°-phase wavelets in stratigraphic and lithologic interpretation of seismically thin beds are discussed, in a two-part article, in which seismic models of Ricker wavelets with selected phases are constructed to assess interpretability of composite waveforms in increasingly complex geologic settings.
