    Inventors: Robert J. Altenbach, Lawrence A. Black, Sou-Jen Chang, Marlon D. Cowart, Ramin Faghih, Gregory A. Gfesser, Yi-Yin Ku, Huaqing Liu, Kirill A. Lukin, Diana L. Nersesian, Yu-ming Pu, Padam N. Sharma, Youssef L. Bennani, Michael P. Curtis
  • Patent number: 7102961
    Abstract: The specification discloses a system and related method for installing seismic sensors in shallow, low-angle boreholes for obtaining conventional three-dimensional and four-dimensional seismic surveys. Installing seismic sensors in shallow, low-angle boreholes removes the sensing devices from surface anomalies that may affect seismic sensing performance. Moreover, installation of the seismic devices in this manner may be done in environmentally sensitive areas without undue environmental impact.

  • Patent number: 6715551
    Abstract: Subterranean reservoir monitoring method, computer system with programming code for implementing the method, and computer readable media and data signal embodying such programming code, the method including one or more of: (a) reservoir screening; (b) reservoir modeling; (c) generating model seismic data from a model; (d) model modification based on current VSP data; (e) repeating step (c) and step (d) until differences between the model and VSP data are as desired; (f) obtaining model production data from a reservoir model, and if necessary modifying the model and returning to step (c); (g) generating seismic model data for time t; and (h) comparing seismic model data with actual seismic data for time t, and if necessary modify the reservoir model and return to step (f) or modify the model of the subteranean and return to step (c).
