Vector Migration Of 1St Order Free-Surface Related Downgoing Multiples From Vsp Data
view source
US Patent:

7508736, Mar 24, 2009
Filed:

Mar 9, 2007
Appl. No.:

11/684378
Inventors:

Min Lou - Houston TX, US
Xiaomin Zhao - Sugar Land TX, US
Francis D. Doherty - Sugar Land TX, US
James C. Jackson - Houston TX, US
Assignee:

Baker Hughes Incorporated - Houston TX
International Classification:

G01V 1/28
US Classification:

367 57, 367 50
Abstract:

1order free-surface multiples recorded in VSP data or reverse VSP data are processed using a 3-C 3-D vector migration method to produce an image of the subsurface. This image produces a larger coverage than that obtained in 3-C 3-D processing of reflection data acquired in the VSP.

US Patent:

7693006, Apr 6, 2010
Filed:

Jan 15, 2009
Appl. No.:

12/354592
Inventors:

Min Lou - Houston TX, US
Xiaomin Zhao - Sugar Land TX, US
Francis D. Doherty - Sugar Land TX, US
James C. Jackson - Houston TX, US
Assignee:

Baker Hughes Incorporated - Houston TX
International Classification:

G01V 1/28

Sub-Salt Reflection Tomography And Imaging By Walkaway Vsp Survey
view source
US Patent:

7751279, Jul 6, 2010
Filed:

Apr 5, 2007
Appl. No.:

11/697049
Inventors:

Xiaomin Zhao - Sugar Land TX, US
Min Lou - Houston TX, US
James C. Jackson - Houston TX, US
Assignee:

Baker Hughes Incorporated - Houston TX
International Classification:

G01V 1/32
US Classification:

367 57, 367 25, 367 38, 367 73
Abstract:

A walkaway VSP survey is carried out with receivers located in a borehole near the base salt. Reflection tomographic inversion of data from the walkaway VSP is used to derive a velocity model for the subsurface and may be used for imaging of sub-salt reflections.

Sub-Salt Reflection Tomography And Imaging By Walkaway Vsp Survey

US Patent:

7911878, Mar 22, 2011
Filed:

Apr 5, 2007
Appl. No.:

11/697125
Inventors:

Xiaomin Zhao - Sugar Land TX, US
Min Lou - Houston TX, US
James C. Jackson - Houston TX, US
Assignee:

Baker Hughes Incorporated - Houston TX
International Classification:

G01V 1/00
US Classification:

367 57, 367 25, 367 73
Abstract:

A walkaway VSP survey is carried out with receivers located in a borehole near the base salt. Reflection tomographic inversion of data from the walkaway VSP is used to derive a velocity model for the subsurface and may be used for imaging of sub-salt reflections.

Vector Migration Of Virtual Source Vsp Data
view source
US Patent:

8395967, Mar 12, 2013
Filed:

May 29, 2009
Appl. No.:

12/475117
Inventors:

Min Lou - Houston TX, US
Francis D. Doherty - Sugar Land TX, US
James C. Jackson - Houston TX, US
Assignee:

Baker Hughes Incorporated - Houston TX
International Classification:

G01V 1/36
US Classification:

367 51, 367 50, 367 57
Abstract:

A walkaway VSP survey is carried out with receivers located in a borehole under a salt overhang. Redatuming of the multicomponent data to virtual sources in the borehole followed by vector Kirchhoff migration using a simple velocity model provides an accurate image of the salt face.

Extending The Coverage Of Vsp/Cdp Imaging By Using First-Order Downgoing Multiples

Traveltime Calculation In Three Dimensional Transversely Isotropic (3D Tti) Media By The Fast Marching Method
view source
US Patent:

20070162249, Jul 12, 2007
Filed:

Mar 2, 2006
Appl. No.:

11/366137
Inventors:

Min Lou - Houston TX, US
International Classification:

G06F 19/00
US Classification:

702147000, 702001000, 702127000, 702179000, 702142000
Abstract:

A technique for calculating traveltime of a seismic wave in three dimensional tilted transversely isotropic (3D TTI) media includes determining a wave vector, defining a unit vector, calculating an angle of the wave vector from an axis and performing a slowness determination. The technique may be practiced as a computer implemented set of instructions, and may be incorporated into measurement equipment.
