  • Patent number: 11079508
    Abstract: A method is described for seismic modeling implemented on a computer system including multiple computer nodes, which includes receiving, at a computer processor, a 4D speed of sound in water library and a marine seismic survey geometry; creating, via the computer processor, a full survey 3D Earth model for each seismic shot time based on the 4D speed of sound in water library to generate a set of dynamic 3D Earth models; simulating 4D seismic shots for the set of dynamic 3D Earth models by simulating multiple shots on each node to generate a set of 4D seismic shot gathers; and outputting the 4D seismic shot gathers.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9774564
    Abstract: A server receives a request to upload a file form a user device. The server may generate a unique file ID associated with the file based on the request, and transmit the file ID to the user device. The user device may divide the file to generate multiple slice files and their corresponding slice IDs. From the user device, the server receives the multiple slice files and the slice IDs. Based on the slice IDs, the server may determine storage addresses at which to store the multiple slice files in a distributed storage system using a consistent hash algorithm. The multiple slice files may be stored based on the corresponding storage addresses of the distrusted storage system.

  • Patent number: 9720131
    Abstract: A method is described that includes accessing, for a geological medium: a horizon model including a plurality of horizons in the geological medium; a fault model including a plurality of faults in the geological medium; and a rock property model including one or more physical rock properties at a plurality of spatial locations on a first grid corresponding to the geological medium. The method further includes determining intersections between the horizons and the faults by correlating the horizon model with the fault model and calculating a faulted structural model for the geological medium in accordance with the intersections between the horizons and the faults. The method further includes generating an earth model for seismic forward modeling by assigning one or more physical rock properties to the faulted structural model in accordance with the rock property model.
