Abstract: A method includes receiving, via an network interface of a cloud-based infrastructure, a request for analysis of rock material properties based at least in part on a digital, image-based model of the rock material; responsive to the request, executing the analysis via provisioning of one or more resources of the cloud-based infrastructure to generate analysis results; and transmitting information based at least in part on the analysis results.

Abstract: A standard acquisition system is selected, the system comprises seismic signal sources disposed on an excitation surface and seismic signal receivers disposed on an acquisition surface, then a fold number is specified. A bin size is selected for a reflecting boundary, and the reflecting boundary is broken down into bins with the selected size. Ray tracing from each seismic signal source to each bin at the reflecting boundary and elongating of a reflected ray from the reflecting boundary to the acquisition surface are performed by computer simulation. A density of the seismic receivers location at the acquisition surface is calculated using a computer program. Then, based on the calculated seismic receivers location density, the seismic receivers are disposed at the acquisition surface for the selected seismic acquisition system providing the specified fold number.

Abstract: Computing systems and methods to producing a reverse time migration model dip-guided image using processed vertical seismic profile data are provided. In one embodiment, vertical seismic profile data for a subsurface geological formation is obtained. One or more dip estimates corresponding to the subsurface geological formation are also obtained. One or more model dip-guided reverse time migration imaging conditions are determined and applied to the obtained vertical seismic profile data to produce the processed vertical seismic profile data.
