TL;DR: The interpretation workstation has allowed the generation and analysis of horizon attributes rapidly as discussed by the authors, and the advent of interpretation workstations has enabled the generation of horizon attribute models and their analysis.
Abstract: The advent of the interpretation workstation has allowed the generation and analysis of horizon attributes to develop rapidly.

TL;DR: In this article, a technique called Sea Bed Logging (SBL) is described, which can be applied to detect and characterize hydrocarbon bearing reservoirs in deep water areas using CSEM sounding.
Abstract: In this paper we describe a technique called Sea Bed Logging (SBL), an application of marine CSEM sounding, which can be applied to detect and characterize hydrocarbon bearing reservoirs in deep water areas.

TL;DR: The need for detailed geological knowledge, for geotechnical, hydrogeological, and environmental protection purposes, has increased in the past decades and can be expected to continue to rise.
Abstract: Pressure on natural resources from growing populations, with growing demands for water supply, infrastructure and housing, has increased in the past decades and can be expected to continue to rise. Further stress on the environment due to pollution will increase the need for detailed geological knowledge, for geotechnical, hydrogeological, and environmental protection purposes.

TL;DR: In this paper, the results of applying full waveform inversion at the Valhall Field in the Norwegian sector of the North Sea were presented, and the resulting velocity model not only substantially improves the depth-migrated image, but also offers an excellent basis for detailed interpretation itself, because it reveals many geological features not visible in the migrated image.
Abstract: We present the results of applying full waveform inversion at the Valhall Field in the Norwegian sector of the North Sea. The resulting velocity model not only substantially improves the depth-migrated image, but also offers an excellent basis for detailed interpretation itself, because it reveals many geological features not visible in the migrated image. These results demonstrate that full waveform inversion can produce spectacular results on industrial-scale real 3D seismic data.

TL;DR: In the petroleum industry, the first applications of geostatistical methods appeared with the use of the kriging technique for mapping horizon depths, seismic velocities, layer thicknesses or petrophysical properties such as porosity or permeability as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: In the petroleum industry, the first applications of geostatistical methods appeared with the use of the kriging technique for mapping horizon depths, seismic velocities, layer thicknesses or petrophysical properties such as porosity or permeability (Haas and Viallix 1976). The maps obtained were then used as input to the calculation of volumes of hydrocarbons in place, or to reservoir simulation programmes (Haas and Jousselin 1976).
