  1. Elements of 3D Seismology:Introduction to Interpretation Christopher L. Liner University of Tulsa November 2003

  2. Synthetic Seismogram Assume: Zero offset, zero dip, and v(z)

  3. Synthetic Seismogram • Travel times • Layer thickness and velocity • Reflection coefficients • Velocity and density

  4. Synthetic Seismogram • R0 is important • Reflection coefficient • Normal incidence (zero offset) • Values [-1,+1] • Commonly [-.3,.3] • I = acoustic impedance • Rock property influences • Mineralogy • Porosity • Pore fluid • Seismic peak amplitude ~ R0

  5. Synthetic Seismogram Wavelet

  6. Synthetic Seismogram Wavelet

  7. Synthetic Seismogram Is peak amplitude ~ R0 …. ? Modeling can supply the answer.

  12. Vertical Resolution

  13. Tuning and Resolution • Tuning and resolution thickness are equal • Wavelength/4 = v/(4 f) • v is interval velocity of the thin bed • f is dominant, or average, frequency • About 20-40 Hz • Subresolution thickness mapping • Difficult because top/base events commingle • Tools • Tuning curves, spectral decomposition,+
