Matthew A. Brzostowski has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Converted-wave analysis system and method
    Patent number: 6212477
    Abstract: Method and systems are provided for processing c-wave data resulting in less sensitivity to errors in p-wave velocity analysis. Therefore, according to one aspect of the invention, a process is provided for processing c-wave data, the process comprising: providing zero-offset gather without a hyperbolic movement correction; performing migration on the zero-offset gather; performing velocity analysis on the migrated zero-offset gather; and performing NMO on the migrated data using the velocity from the velocity analysis.

  • Method and system for acquisition and processing of marine seismic data
    Patent number: 5930731
    Abstract: It has been found that, rather than merely recording raw data on the seismic vessel for processing on shore, the performance of certain processing on the vessel at a particular time addresses the problems. Specifically, performing pre-stack time migration on raw data as it is being recorded on a seismic ship provides the information needed for quality control of the acquisition process, as well as providing a starting point for velocity analysis in preparation for later depth migration.
