  • Method of determining net reservoir thickness
    Patent number: 6243650
    Abstract: The methods of the present invention determine the net and gross thickness of reservoir beds, taking into account the internal structure of reservoir beds, using P-P, and/or S-S and/or P-S seismic data acquired in 2-d or 3-d.

  • Method for predicting pore pressure in a 3-D volume
    Patent number: 5937362
    Abstract: A pore pressure prediction method includes the steps of: (a) designing a normal compaction trend velocity model; (b) testing the normal compaction trend velocity model; (c) designing 3-D spatial adjustment parameters to compensate for water depth; and (d) processing a 3-D velocity field using the interpreted normal compaction trend velocity model and the 3-D spatial adjustment parameters.
