Resumo: A maioria dos métodos de imageamento de subsuperfície aplicados em projetos de Exploração e Produção (E&P) de hidrocarbonetos assume o meio elástico isotrópico (ISO). Os meios isotrópicos, em contrapartida aos modelos anisotrópicos, são aqueles cujas velocidades das ondas sísmicas não dependem da direção de propagação. Entretanto, muitas rochas obtidas de testemunhos apresentam anisotropia. Logo, é natural que estudos dos meios anisotrópicos sejam feitos com o intuito de aumentar a precisão do imageamento sísmico. As anisotropias são classificadas de acordo com as simetrias apresentadas. As simetrias mais comuns em exploração de hidrocarbonetos são as simetrias transversalmente isotrópicas (TI) e ortorrômbicas (ORT). Quando uma onda impinge uma interface são geradas ondas refletidas e transmitidas. A razão entre as amplitudes dos vetores de deslocamento da onda incidente em relação às ondas geradas são os coeficientes de reflexão/ transmissão (R/T) de deslocamento. Os coeficientes R/T podem ser expressos explicitamente por fórmulas apenas em casos de alta simetria, por exemplo, isotrópica. Caso contrário os coeficientes R/T devem ser obtidos de um sistema de equações algébricas lineares obtidas das condições de contorno na interface. Neste trabalho desenvolvemos um código para calcular os coeficientes de reflexão e transmissão (R/T) para interfaces entre meios anisotrópicos. Dois critérios para a distinção das ondas geradas na interface são adotados em adição ao critério convencional da literatura. As simetrias utilizadas para os testes sintéticos foram as simetrias ISO, TI e ORT. O testes exemplificam algumas características básicas dos coeficientes R/T, como equivalência entre interfaces e simetrias inclinadas e a reciprocidade dos coeficientes normalizados pela energia
Abstract: The great majority of the methods for imaging subsurface invested in hydrocarbons Exploration and Production (E&P) assumes isotropic elastic medium (ISO). The isotropic models are those which velocities of seismic waves do not depend on the direction of propagation. However many core rocks exhibit anisotropy. Thus, the assumption of anisotropic media is natural in order to increase the accuracy of seismic imaging. The anisotropies are classified according to their symmetries. The most common symmetries in hydrocarbon E&P are the transversely isotropic (TI) and orthorhombic (ORT) symmetries. When a seismic wave impinges at an interface between two media, it generates reflected and transmitted waves. The ratio between the amplitudes of displacement vectors of the incident and the generated waves are the displacement reflection/transmission (R/T) coefficients. The R/T coefficients can be expressed by explicit formulas in cases of higher symmetries, e.g. isotropy. Otherwise they are obtained numerically from a system of inhomogeneous linear algebraic equations derived from the boundary conditions in the interface. We develop a code to evaluate the R/T coefficients interfaces between two anisotropic media. We adopt two criteria in addition to the conventional one for distinguishing the generated waves. The symmetries used for the synthetic tests were symmetries ISO, TI and ORT. The tests illustrate some basic characteristics of the R/T coefficients, as equivalence between tilted symmetries and interfaces, and the reciprocal of the energy normalized R/T coefficients

Full textReflection seismic data, mylonite reflectivity, gravity data, and earthquake hypocenters have been integrated into a possible explanation for seismicity in the Ramapo fault area. Seven reflection seismic lines were processed using variations in sorting and residual statics. Single VIBROSEIS sweeps were treated as separate sourcepoints. Compressional velocities and densities were determined in the laboratory. Reflection coefficients and gravity models provide evidence for reflections from mylonite zones. Earthquake hypocenters were projected into the vertical seismic sections. The results suggest a correlation between rock volumes containing hypocenters and rock volumes containing mylonite zones. The seismic line furthest from the Taconic suture displays fewer hypocenters and mylonites, in agreement with an assumed model of mylonite development possibly associated with obduction of continental crust. The mylonite zones in the basement may serve as local areas of crustal weakness for seismic activity occurring in the area.

Resumo: O método Common Reflection Surface (CRS) tem por objetivo a obtenção de seções empilhadas de qualidade e extração de parâmetros do campo de onda que caracterizam o meio geológico, através de análises de coerência e com máxima utilização da redundância contida nos dados sísmicos de multicobertura. Para a realização dessas finalidades, o método CRS utiliza "famílias" de pares de fontes e receptores arbitrariamente dispostos em torno de um ponto central e empilhamentos através de tempos de trânsito multi-paramétricos. O CRS representa um significativo aprimoramento do clássico método Common midpoint (CMP), o qual utiliza famílias de pares fonte e receptor simetricamente dispostos em torno do ponto central (denominadas famílias CMP). Além disso, o número maior de parâmetros CRS permite melhores informações sobre o meio geológico. Neste trabalho, discutimos os fundamentos e principais resultados do método CRS na situação 2D, comparando-o ao método CMP. Dentre os vários estudos e aperfeiçoamentos realizados no método CRS, destacam-se (a) nova implementação do programa CRS, com utilização de parâmetros diretamente advindos dos dados; (b) implementação conjunta dos métodos CRS e CMP visando melhor contribuição de cada um deles para o imageamento sísmico; (c) introdução de nova metodologia para eliminação ou tenuação de ruído alinhado nas seções CRS e (d) investigação qualitativa e quantitativa das resoluções vertical e lateral do método CRS.
Abstract: The Common Reflection Surface (CRS) method is designed to produce stacked sections of superior quality, as well as a number of useful wavefield attributes that caracterize the geological subsurface. These attributes are estimated by means of coherency analysis methods, which optimally exploit the redundancy contained in the multicoverge seismic data. To take advantage of this redundancy, the CRS method employs "gathers" of source and receiver pairs, arbitrarily located around a fixed central point, with the help of multi-parametric traveltime moveouts. Waving the restriction of symmetric source-receiver pairs around the central point allows full use of the multicoverage data. As a result, CRS stacked sections are seen to be cleaner, with better signal-tonoise ratio and continuity of reflection events. We discuss the basics and main results of the CRS method, in the 2D situation, in close comparison with the classical CMP method. A number of improvements on the method itself, as well as on its practical applications, are presented. These include (a) a new implementation of CRS, with the use of parameters most directly related to the input data; (b) joint use of CRS and CMP, with the aim of obtaining the best possible processing and imaging results; (c) introduction of a new methodology to eliminate or attenuate aligned noise and (d) qualitative and quantitative investigation on vertical and lateral resolution in CRS sections.

Resumo: Uma das principais etapas do processamento sísmico é a análise de velocidade. Essa é uma das técnicas que utilizam dados sísmicos organizados em famílias de ponto médio comum (CMP ¿ Common Midpoint). Encontrar curvas (por exemplo, hiperbólicas) pré-determinadas que se ajustam aos tempos de trânsito de reflexão da melhor maneira possível é de grande importância no processo CMP. Além disso, é necessário determinar corretamente os parâmetros que definem essas curvas de melhores ajustes, pois estes parâmetros transmitem informações importantes a serem extraídos dos dados sísmicos. Portanto, é essencial uma medida que estabeleça se certa curva se ajusta aos tempos de trânsito. A função semblance mede o grau de coerência (ou alinhamento) dos traços sísmicos ao longo das curvas testadas. A semblance convencional é uma medida robusta e fácil de ser calculada, e por esses motivos tem sido a mais utilizada dentre outras medidas. Além da função convencional, aplicamos outros dois tipos de funções: a Semblance com Peso e a Semblance AB. Os exemplos numéricos desse trabalho mostram que a medida de coerência com peso exibe uma melhor resolução no sentido de que as seções apresentam picos mais destacados com relação à semblance convencional, mas pelo fato dos valores obtidos pelas duas funções serem semelhantes e o custo computacional do cálculo da medida com peso ser bem superior à convencional, o esforço não vale a pena. Já a semblance AB tenta ser superior à convencional uma vez que para dados que apresentam um trend de amplitude (reversão de polaridade), a função AB apresenta uma pequeno aumento nos seus valores na região de reversão em questão, mas nada significativo, pelo menos nos exemplos de seção CMP utilizados nessa dissertação. Apesar de todas as tentativas de se obter uma medida de coerência que apresente melhores resultados com um baixo custo computacional, ainda assim a semblance convencional continua a apresentar resultados semelhantes aos outros métodos e com o menor tempo computacional para o seu cálculo
Abstract: One of the main steps of seismic processing is the velocity analysis. This is one of the methods that uses seismic data arranged in common midpoint (CMP) gathers. Finding predetermined curves (such as hyperbolic ones) that fit the reflection traveltimes the best possible way is of great importance in the CMP process. Moreover, it is necessary to correctly determine the parameters that define those best-fitting curves, as these parameters convey important information to be extracted from seismic data. Therefore, it is essential to establish a measure that determines if any curve fits the travel time. The semblance function is such a measure that determines the degree of coherence (or alignment) of the seismic traces along trial curves. Conventional semblance is a robust and easy-to-calculate measure, and for these reasons it has been the most used among other measures. Recently, two variations of semblance have been proposed in the literature: Weighted Semblance and AB Semblance. In this thesis, we show by means of numerical examples that Weighted Semblance provides better resolution in the sense that the semblance sections present more pronounced peaks than conventional semblance. However, the values obtained by the two functions are rather similar and the computational cost of calculating the weighted measure is much higher. Therefore, the effort is not worth it. AB semblance tries to be superior to the conventional function for data presenting an amplitude trend (for example, a polarity reversal). In our numerical tests, the AB function indeed provides a small increase in its values in the region of a polarity reversal, but nothing significant, at least for the CMP section examples used in this dissertation. Despite all attempts to obtain a coherence measure that offers better results with a low computational cost, conventional semblance still maintains similar results to other methods and the lowest computational time for its calculation
