  • Technique and system for performing a cross well survey
    Patent number: 9310505
    Abstract: A technique includes providing a source in a first well and a seismic receiver in a second well to detect a seismic event that is caused by the source. The technique includes referencing clocks in the source and receiver to a common reference time frame and determining a time in the reference time frame at which the seismic source generates the seismic event.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 31, 2012
    Date of Patent: April 12, 2016
    Assignee: Schlumberger Technology Corporation
    Inventors: William B. Underhill, Scott W. Leaney, David Gerez, Alfredo Fayard
  • Processing of combined surface and borehole seismic data
    Patent number: 8208341
    Abstract: Methods and related systems are described for processing surface seismic data. Surface seismic data representing seismic signals detected at a plurality of surface locations is wavefield deconvolved using a combination of direct wave travel times estimated from borehole seismic data, and wavefield energy estimated from the surface seismic data.
