Abstract:

This presentation introduces EarthStudy 360, a novel, target-oriented, seismic-driven system designed to generate the full image-domain scattering wavefield, decomposed into the local angle domain (LAD) coordinate system. This comprehensive image dataset serves as input for several key subsurface applications:
• High-definition subsurface model parameters: Utilizing full-azimuth reflection angle image data.
• High-resolution imaging: Enhancing structural and stratigraphic interpretation and reservoir characterization through directional (dip/azimuth) angle image data.
• Target markets: Addressing all subsurface imaging and interpretationhis correlation cost is given by a cost function corresponding to a principle of correlation (e.g., lithostratigraphy, chronostratigraphy, etc.).
EarthStudy 360 provides depth imaging processing experts and interpretation specialists with a complete set of image data, including accurate subsurface velocity models, structural attributes, medium properties, and reservoir characteristics. The rich information from all angles and azimuths ensures more reliable analysis and significantly reduces uncertainty. For instance, fracture analysis components offer precise information about fracture stress and orientation, which is crucial for optimizing drilling and achieving superior production rates.
In this presentation, I will describe the EarthStudy 360 seismic migration process in the local angle domain (LAD), the output, full-azimuth directional and opening-angle, common image gathers/volumes, and the corresponding applications for kinematic/dynamic parameter analyses and directional-based imaging (diffraction imaging). The system’s advantages will be demonstrated through numerous worldwide field examples.
