The earliest scientists first observed the waves that earthquakes produce before they could accurately describe the nature of earthquakes or their fundamental causes, as discussed in Lessons 1–5.

The following discussion presents a case history of how a new state-of-the-art seismic processing technology, wavelet energy absorption (WEA), is used in the direct detection of hydrocarbons in a ...

Seismic inversion converts seismic reflections into quantitative rock and fluid properties (impedance, elastic moduli), enabling more accurate prediction of reservoir presence, quality, and fluids ...
