  • Seismic first breaks onset times determination by interface tracking using level-sets method
    Patent number: 11467302
    Abstract: A method for determining and tracking an edge of first breaks is provided. The method includes obtaining seismic data associated with subsurface formations, the seismic data relating to a vibration contacting a plurality of portions of the subsurface formations, processing the seismic data to produce processed seismic data comprising one or more attributes, wherein the processed seismic data defines an edge characterizing a plurality of onset times, iteratively performing, using a level sets algorithm, a plurality of tracking operations on the processed seismic data to identify the edge characterizing a plurality of first breaks' onset times, and determining the edge as first breaks.
