Abstract
Introduction to Petroleum Seismology provides the basic theoretical
and practical background needed to tackle present and future challenges
of petroleum seismology, especially those related to seismic data
acquisition and imaging and to reservoir characterization and monitoring.
The first part of the book evolves from first principles of physics
to the fundamentals of elastodynamic wave propagation, the building
blocks for seismic analysis. The second part discusses modern developments
in petroleum seismology such as multicomponent data, multiple elimination,
amplitude variation with offset and azimuth analysis and inversion,
anisotropy, and linear anelasticity. Aspects of Fourier and wavelet
representations of seismic signals and the fundamentals of higher-order
statistics for analyzing seismic signals also are treated. The comprehensiveness
of this book makes it a suitable text for undergraduate and graduate
courses that target geophysicists and engineers as well as a guide
and reference work for researchers and professionals in academia
and in the petroleum industry. The book is illustrated with color
figures and provides a wide range of examples and problems.
