  • System for estimating azimuthal variations in seismic data
    Patent number: 6898147
    Abstract: The invention comprises a system for processing seismic data to estimate time shift resulting from velocity anisotropy in the earth's subsurface. A gather of seismic data traces is formed and selected seismic data traces included in said gather within selected time windows are cross-correlated to estimate the time shift in the seismic data traces included in said gather resulting from velocity anisotropy in the earth's subsurface.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 20, 2003
    Date of Patent: May 24, 2005
    Assignee: Input/Output, Inc.
    Inventors: Edward Louis Jenner, Martin Carroll Williams
