  • Method and apparatus for kinematically linking multiple seismic domains
    Patent number: 6925387
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for utilizing seismic data contemporaneously across multiple seismic domains is disclosed. The method comprises kinematically linking a first point in a set of seismic data having at least three-dimensions in a first seismic domain with a second point in the set of seismic data in a second seismic domain related to the first seismic domain by a velocity model in time or in depth. The apparatus includes, in various aspects, a program storage medium encoded with instructions that, when executed by a computer, perform such a method and a computer programmed to perform the method.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: August 2, 2005
    Assignee: WesternGeco L.L.C.
    Inventors: Irina A. Marin, Thomas Gehrmann
  • Method and apparatus for contemporaneous utilization of a higher order probe in pre-stack and post-stack seismic domains
    Patent number: 6912468
    Abstract: A method for contemporaneously utilizing seismic data in the pre-stack seismic domain and the post-stack seismic domain is disclosed. The method includes initiating a higher order probe at a three-dimensional coordinate in a post-stack seismic volume; and instantiating a pre-stack seismic data content for the higher order probe. In alternative aspects, the invention includes a program storage medium encoded with instructions that, when executed by a computer, perform the method and a computer programmed to perform the method.
