Details the properties of 3D acquisition geometries and shows how they naturally lead to the 3D symmetric sampling approach to 3D survey design. Many examples are used to illustrate choices of acquisition parameters, and the link between survey parameters and noise suppression as well as imaging is an intrinsic part of the contents.

Elements of 3D Seismology, third edition is a thorough introduction to the acquisition, processing, and interpretation of 3D seismic data. This third edition is a major update of the second edition. Sections dealing with interpretation have been greatly revised in accordance with improved understanding and availability of data and software. Practice exercises have been added, as well as a 3D seismic survey predesign exercise. Discussions include: conceptual and historical foundations of modern reflection seismology; an overview of seismic wave phenomena in acoustic, elastic, and porous media; acquisition principles for land and marine seismic surveys; methods used to create 2D and 3D seismic images from field data; concepts of dip moveout, prestack migration, and depth migration; concepts and limitations of 3D seismic interpretation for structure, stratigraphy, and rock property estimation; and the interpretation role of attributes, impedance estimation, and AVO. This book is intended as a general text on reflection seismology, including wave propagation, data acquisition, processing, and interpretation and will be of interest to entry-level geophysicists, experts in related fields (geology, petroleum engineering), and experienced geophysicists in one subfield wishing to learn about another (e.g., interpreters wanting to learn about seismic waves or data acquisition).

An essential ingredient for successful 3D seismic survey design is a basic understanding of the spatial properties of the seismic wavefield. These properties were described for 2D seismic data in Seismic Wavefield Sampling by the same author. This book extends the description into the much more complex field of 3D seismic data. A chapter on guidelines for survey design translates theory into practice. Some case histories illustrate the concepts. Noise suppression, resolution, and imaging are discussed in detail. Converted-wave survey design is covered in a separate chapter. This book provides essential knowledge for any acquisition or processing geophysicist and is recommended to everyone dealing with 3D seismic data. An included CD-ROM also contains an Acquisition Design Wizard and survey optimization software.

3-D seismic data have become the key tool used in the petroleum industry to understand the subsurface. In addition to providing excellent structural images, the dense sampling of a 3-D survey makes it possible to map reservoir quality and the distribution of oil and gas. Topics covered in this book include basic structural interpretation and map-making; the use of 3-D visualisation methods; interpretation of seismic amplitudes, including their relation to rock and fluid properties; and the generation and use of AVO and acoustic impedance datasets. This new paperback edition includes an extra appendix presenting new material on novel acquisition design, pore pressure prediction from seismic velocity, elastic impedance inversion, and time lapse seismics. Written by professional geophysicists with many years' experience in the oil industry, the book is indispensable for geoscientists using 3-D seismic data, including graduate students and new entrants into the petroleum industry.

Three-dimensional (3-D) seismic surveys have become a major tool in the exploration and exploitation of hydrocarbons. The first few 3-D seismic surveys were acquired in the late 1970s, but it took until the early 1990s before they gained general acceptance throughout the industry. The conventional approach to 3-D survey design is limited by an incomplete understanding of the differing properties of the many geometries that can be used in 3-D seismic surveys. This book addresses these problems and provides a new methodology for the design of 3-D seismic surveys.
