Patent number: 8451685Abstract: A method and system for processing synchronous array seismic data includes acquiring synchronous passive seismic data from a plurality of sensors to obtain synchronized array measurements. A reverse-time data process is applied to the synchronized array measurements to obtain a plurality of dynamic particle parameters associated with subsurface locations. These dynamic particle parameters are stored in a form for display. Maximum values of the dynamic particle parameters may be interpreted as reservoir locations. The dynamic particle parameters may be particle displacement values, particle velocity values, particle acceleration values or particle pressure values. The sensors may be three-component sensors. Zero-phase frequency filtering of different ranges of interest may be applied. The data may be resampled to facilitate efficient data processing.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 2011Date of Patent: May 28, 2013Assignee: Spectraseis AGInventors: Erik Saenger, Brian Steiner, Stefan Schmalholz

Publication number: 20080021655Abstract: A method and system of processing seismic data includes acquiring seismic data, determining a frequency spectrum for the seismic data and determining an amplitude value associated with a local minimum frequency from the frequency spectrum to obtain an IZ minimum-amplitude value and a minimum frequency range limit. A maximum frequency range limit is determined and an integration measure is determined from an integration of the area bounded by the IZ minimum-amplitude value and the amplitude values between the minimum frequency range limit and the maximum frequency range limit. The integration-measure is stored for display.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 2, 2007Publication date: January 24, 2008Inventor: Erik Saenger

Publication number: 20080021656Abstract: A method and system of processing seismic data includes acquiring three-component seismic data and combining horizontal components of the three-component seismic data to obtain a merged horizontal component. Frequency spectra are determined for the acquired three-component seismic data. A ratio of a vertical component of the seismic data to the merged horizontal component is determined. A V/H integration-measure is obtained from the integration of the area bounded by a selected minimum-amplitude value and the amplitude values greater than the selected minimum-amplitude value and the V/H integration-measure is stored in a form for display.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 2, 2007Publication date: January 24, 2008Inventor: Erik Saenger
