  • Patent number: 11635539
    Abstract: Scattered body waves are isolated to primary, shear, and surface waves as a receiver wavefield from recorded near-surface scattered wave data generated by scatters. The isolated receiver wavefield is backward propagated through an earth model from a final to an initial state. A source wavefield and the receiver wavefields are cross-correlated. A source wavefield and the receiver wavefields are stacked, over all time steps and sources, to generate a subsurface image. A display of the subsurface image is initiated.

  • Patent number: 11346972
    Abstract: Techniques for determining a drill bit location includes identifying a plurality of acoustic energy signals received at a plurality of sets of acoustic receivers from a passive acoustic energy source that is part of a wellbore drilling system; processing the plurality of acoustic energy signals; determining a location of a drill bit of the wellbore drilling system based on the processed plurality of acoustic signals; and updating a geo-steering path of the drill bit based on the determined location of the drill bit.

  • Publication number: 20200233113
    Abstract: A system and a computer-implemented include the following. A field dataset of seismic waves is received that is obtained by receivers during a drilling period from a drilling operation at a target well. The drilling period includes drilling and non-drilling phases. The field dataset is analyzed to determine locations of seismic waves. A reconstructed wavefield is determined by applying a passive seismic imaging condition over time and based on locations of the receivers. Using the reconstructed wavefield, a time series is computed for the seismic waves, and a time-frequency transform is applied on the time series. Sources and locations of tube waves resulting from acoustic signatures of the drill bit the drilling phases are determined. Sources and locations of the body waves caused by the tube waves are determined. A petrophysical model of the target well is updated in real-time based on the analyzing and the waves.

  • Publication number: 20160320509
    Abstract: Seismic data of a subterranean region is accessed and an image orientation of each data sample of the seismic data is computed. The seismic data is divided, in a spatial domain, into a plurality of sections based on spatial attributes of the seismic data, each section including respective seismic data samples having the spatial attributes within the respective section. For each section of the plurality of sections, a dominant orientation of the section is determined and a noise component of the seismic data is predicted based on the dominant orientation of the section.
