Abstract: A system and method for analyzing geologic features including fluid estimation and lithology discrimination may include the steps of identifying areas of interest on a seismic horizon, computing statistical data ranges for the seismic amplitudes within the areas of interest, and analyzing the geologic features based on the amplitude variation with offset (AVO) or angle (AVA) curves including the statistical data ranges.

Abstract: A system for performing seismic surveys may include devices to attach fiber-optic cables and/or sensors to existing subsea infrastructure, as well as devices for recording seismic data at the fiber-optic cables/sensors attached to or incorporated within existing infrastructure. A method for seismic imaging of a subsurface volume of interest may include recording seismic data using fiber-optic cables attached to existing subsea infrastructure, processing the seismic data to create processed seismic data, and generating seismic images/attributes of the subsurface volume of interest from the processed seismic data. Additionally, the invention includes a one-way ranging technique to determine the location of FO cables using an integrated dynamic monitoring system and FO cables/sensors. The methods may be executed by a computer system.
