  • Frequency shift reservoir localization
    Patent number: 8233350
    Abstract: A method and system of detecting and mapping a subsurface hydrocarbon reservoir includes acquiring seismic data having a plurality of components, applying a data transform to the seismic data to obtain seismic data spectral component maxima and maxima profiles, and recording the maxima or maxima profile in a form for display.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 29, 2008
    Date of Patent: July 31, 2012
    Assignee: Spectraseis AG
    Inventors: Marc-André Lambert, Erik Hans Saenger, Stefan Schmalholz
  • VH Reservoir Mapping with Borehole Sensors
    Publication number: 20120022791
    Abstract: A method and system of detecting and mapping a subsurface hydrocarbon reservoir includes determining ratio data for a plurality of orthogonal spectral components of naturally occurring low frequency background seismic data. The ratio data may be compared, plotted, contoured and displayed as a subsurface hydrocarbon reservoir map or a hydrocarbon potential map. The ratio data may represent a vertical spectral component of the seismic data over a horizontal spectral component of the seismic data. The subsurface hydrocarbon reservoir map may include contouring the ratio data over a geographical area associated with the seismic data.
    Type: Application
