Event Description

 
 
"Improved Seismic Imaging Using MultiFocusing Technology"
 

Multifocusing, as a non-CMP based imaging method, opens a new perspective for optimal approximation of the zero-offset sections. It is based on a new time moveout correction which can be obtained considering wavefront propagation in the depth domain. The new moveout correction is valid for arbitrary subsurface models and for arbitrary observation geometry. Stacked sections obtained by the MultiFocusing method are superior to those obtained by the conventional DMO/NMO processing: they are characterised by a higher signal-to-noise ratio and better approximate the actual zero-offset sections. Parameters (wavefield attributes) estimated by the MultiFocusing method have clear geophysical interpretation and can be used for several important applications such as velocity model building, migration, structural and stratigraphic interpretation. This talk will cover the basis of the MF method and illustrate its efficiency on real data examples.

Biography

During her 25-year career in the oil industry, Marianne has worked worldwide in geoscience with leading service and operating companies. Her main professional passion centers upon the development and commercialization of cutting edge, advanced geoscience technologies. These technologies are not restricted to seismic and its derivatives but also include potential fields and imaging such as hyperspectral. Besides the technical aspect, Marianne has also done technical marketing and business development and has been instrumental in establishing various companies in the oil market place.
 
Marianne also keeps one foot in academia by teaching continuous education courses in conjunction with the University of Oklahoma and publishing articles in peer reviewed journals. She is also supervising graduate students at University of Houston and Curtin University in Australia. Marianne holds a Ph.D. in Physics from Karl Franzens Universitaet, Graz, Austria.
 
Marianne has lived and worked in numerous places but since 1999 calls Houston home.
