  • Method for filtering seismic data, particularly by kriging
    Patent number: 7890265
    Abstract: A method of filtering at least two series of seismic data representative of the same zone, the method including the step of determining an estimate of the component that is common to the data series, and the step of deducing from this estimate a resolution of the data series. The method is applicable to 4D seismic surveying.
    Type: Grant

  • Method for treating seismic cubes corresponding, for a common zone on the ground, to different source/receiver and/or angle of incidence offset values
    Patent number: 7720607
    Abstract: Method for processing a set of seismic cubes corresponding to the same acquisition zone and at different source/receiver offset and/or angle of incidence values, characterized in that at least one seismic cube is determined, which is an estimation of the component common to at least two seismic cubes corresponding to different offset and/or angle of incidence values.

  • Method for predicting quantitative values of a rock or fluid property in a reservoir using seismic data
    Patent number: 7373251
    Abstract: A method is provided for predicting a value of a designated rock or fluid property in a subterranean geologic volume. A first predicted value of the designated rock or fluid property is also assigned to a volume of a multi-dimensional, multi-scale model. A first predicted value of seismic response for the model volume is calculated from a response model using the first predicted value of the designated rock or fluid property, wherein the response model is responsive to changes in predicted values of the designated rock or fluid property. A synthetic trace is generated and iteratively compared to the corresponding trace obtained from one or more sets of actual seismic data to determine a difference while consistency is maintained between the types, scales and dimensions of values and data.
