  • Offset-azimuth binning for migration and velocity analysis
    Patent number: 7768872
    Abstract: The present invention comprises a method of choosing a cell structure for seismic gathers dictating a grid of azimuth-offset bins that can be of various shapes and sizes. Processes that use offset-azimuth information are optimized to operate on these cells of azimuth-offset bins and invert for seismic properties. The method provides for acquisition of 3D seismic data, selecting a seismic gather bin for sorting the data, selecting at least one cell structure for the gather that may or may not be space filling, and sorting the data in to the cell structure of the gather bin. The cell structures may be any shape including hexagonal, and may be of variable sizes and may overlap.

  • System for estimating azimuthal variations in seismic data
    Patent number: 6898147
    Abstract: The invention comprises a system for processing seismic data to estimate time shift resulting from velocity anisotropy in the earth's subsurface. A gather of seismic data traces is formed and selected seismic data traces included in said gather within selected time windows are cross-correlated to estimate the time shift in the seismic data traces included in said gather resulting from velocity anisotropy in the earth's subsurface.
