Elements 3rd edition

Work is progressing well on the 3rd edition of Elements of 3D Seismology. I have hand-edited the hardcopy book through Chapter 21, revised MS Word documents through Chapter 20, and developed several new figures for the interpretation section. Here are a couple of the new figures.

Figure 1. Integrated seismic/well depth map for top of Mississippian Limestone formation in SE Kansas. (a) Horizon time structure map t(x,y) from 3D seismic data (2 ms contours). (b) Contoured average velocity map v(x,y) from seismic datum to top Miss using 4 wells (10 ft/s contours). (c) Depth map created by grid math z(x,y) = v(x,y)•t(x,y)/2 then corrected for seismic data to subsea depth (10 ft contours).

Figure 2. Geobody extraction for gas bright spot in the North Sea. (a) Vertical seismic line from 3D survey showing bright spot amplitudes. (b) Connected area amplitude threshold geobody grown from a single seed. (c) Map view of geobody colored blue and seed point in red. (d) Map view of geobody colored by z values with shallow points red and deeper portions yellow to gray.

Back to work....

As some of you know, I am revising my book Elements of 3D Seismology for a 3rd edition to be published by SEG.  My method, after much consideration, has been to mark up the printed 2nd edition version by hand, then I will edit the doc files and push them off to SEG for later work.

The 2nd edition has 557 pages, not counting the bibliography.  Right now I am on p333.  I think it was Samuel Johnson who said "A man can turn over a small library to make one good book", and I know what he means.  Here is a photo of p73 with my hand edits. Going through my ~80 book geophysical library I find much confusion about Fresnel zone, mainly uncertainty about whether the author is talking about diameter or radius of the zone.  Wiggle words like 'width', 'size', and 'dimension', don't help. I'm sticking with 'radius' in the 3rd edition...



Elements of 3D Seismology 3rd edition (revision in progress, p73 of 557).

Here is the 'yellow pad' version of part of p73 that will be in the 3rd edition.

New Donations: SWN and CGG

This was a great month for UA Geosciences.  We received a 3D seismic project donation from SWN (thanks to Damien Friend for championing), and HR-10 seismic analysis software from CGG (thanks to Brian Russell).

SWN Desoto 3D data includes 9 sq. mi. of seismic data and inversion attributes such as acoustic impedance (AI).  Cool colors are low AI and hot colors are high values. The green Low-AI interval is the Mississippian Fayetteville Shale, a prolific gas producer.  Within the Fay Shale interval an anomalously low AI interval is evident, likely a zone more rich in organic matter. 
AI data allows more intuitive correlation between seismic and stratigraphic column for surface exposures in the Ozark plateau of N Arkansas. 
There is a natural connection between the SWN data donation and the HR-10 software donation, namely acoustic impedance.  A key strength of HR-10 is ability to do AI inversion of seismic plus well data.  This is a good space for UA geology graduate students to work, inversion is an important skill, much in demand in the petroleum industry. Here is a figure from HR-10 documentation.

Got this query by email today:


Hi Chris,

I read your blog from time to time and was curious if you had any Mathematica/Manipulate packages that were downloadable for others to use in their courses?  I will be teaching an Environmental Geophysics course in the fall using Burger/Sheehan/Jones, and would like to use/create some Manipulate packages that would help the students better understand seismic refraction/reflection, magnetics, etc.

Thanks in advance for any help/advice that you might have.

Best,
Scott

This makes me think of the many M codes I have written that do not get out to the geophysics community.  Could be a good time to fix that.  The main things of interest, at least initially, will be Manipulate codes.  Let's set up a template (I'm open for better suggestions):

Title : Simple 3 D seismic bin size manipulator
Version: Mathematica 9.0.1.0
Author : Christopher Liner (U Arkansas)
Date : 21 May 2014
Status : Open source
Interface image:         









The download comes from my dropbox. Of course, the notebook is only useful if you have Mathematica.  Can't help you there.  Compatibility issues with different version of Mathematica may pop up.  If you get complaints about the notebook being from a newer/older version, just push on and it will likely work. Perhaps Scott could test the notebook and report back via blog comment.

Greater Northwest Arkansas

It has taken some serious time and effort, but I can finally make GMT dance a little bit.  This map uses the NOAA ETOPO1 elevation model (1 arc-minute grid) that is a 933MB file for the entire earth surface.  Fayetteville AR (FAY) is shown as red dot, with high-elevation Boston Mountains south and East of the city. Red outline is the MArkUP study area in which we are researching Mississippian carbonates.

Petroacoustics Book (free online)

I got this email today from Patric Rasolofosaon, whom I met at my DISC lecture in Paris. He is a world authority on poroelasticity and has a new book co-authored with Bernard Zinszner.  They have altruistically made the book free online. Chapters 1-3 (of 7) are available now

It is a rare treat when a first-class scientist writes a book synthesizing the state of knowledge and experimental evidence in any field.  On behalf of geophysicists everywhere, thank you Patrick (and Bernard)!

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear Colleagues,

My co-author, Bernard Zinszner,  and myself are pleased to announce the publication of our book entitled ‘Petroacoustics – A tool for Applied Seismics –‘ on the website of the eBooks of IFP Energies nouvelles
(http://books.ifpenergiesnouvelles.fr/ebooks ... Free download!).   We are very much interested in your feedback. So please do not hesitate to contact us.

By the way, please could you pass the info among your students. Indeed we are also very much interested in  Students' feedback.  Because as we wrote somewhere in the book,  the Rock Acoustics courses taught at IFP School and at the Universities Pierre et Marie Curie and Denis Diderot of Paris, and the numerous questions of the students have also greatly stimulated the writing of this book.

Thanks very much in advance for passing the information.

Best regards,

Patrick Rasolofosaon and Bernard Zinszner

OpendTect project portability

I have been doing many 3D seismic interpretation projects recently using OpendTect (OD). I have written elsewhere about its many wonderful features, but for the last week it was driving me nuts.

The back story is that I work across four different machines: Mac laptop, home iMac, office Mac Pro, and office windows machine.  OD data directories are on each machine, plus a common repository on my 1.5TB USB drive.  That is 5 data locations that have to be synced as interpretation goes forward.

When you start using OD, an OD data directory must be established and this holds project folders.  Within each project there are several folders to hold various kinds of information and files:


Two kinds of files are at issue in this note, session and horizon files.  First, session files (xxx.sess) live in the Misc directory and hold information to restore workspace exactly as it was when you saved the session.  Second, horizon files are stored in the Surfaces directory.  As a horizon is created, tracked and then saved, two files are created (xxx.hor and xxx.ts).

Now to the issue.  Earlier this week I was working on a small area inside a 3D seismic survey in SE Kansas.  I limited the work area, got a couple of lines open and a time slice, tracked new horizons (Miss and Woodford), then saved the session.  All this was on my laptop.  To sync my USB version of the OD data, I dropped the session file into the appropriate Misc folder and the horizon files into the Surfaces folder.

Later in the week, I was working at home and copied the new files to my OD directory on my iMac, launched OD, and opened the new session file. Or at least attempted to.  That is the rub, even though I could see the new .sess file from the Mac finder (it was there), the session load dialog box in OD did not show it.  The same thing happened with the horizons, they were there in the correct folder but OD did not see them for loading.

I suspected different operating systems (nope, all same version of OS X), different OD versions (nope, all 4.6).  I examined the new session file and compared to older ones that loaded; was there any difference in permissions or other properties? Nope.  Suspected the creation date was the issue, so manually changed it with unix command line; nope. Only the machine that created the session file could see it, ditto for surfaces. This cut right to the heart of project portability.

Diving into the Misc directory with a unix command line, I noticed an invisible .omf file.  Looking inside I saw something like this:
dTect V4.6
Object Management file
Fri 15 Aug 2014, 09:43:20
!
ID: 100070`7
!
Misc: 1
Miscellaneous directory: dGB`Stream
$Name: Misc
!
Radcliff: 2
Session setup: dGB`Stream
$Extension: sess
$Name: Radcliff.sess
#Created.At: Mon 14 Apr 2014, 18:25:14
#Created.By: Steve Milligan
!
Then it dawned on me. This is a database file that is updated when a new session or horizon is created.  By only copying the .sess or .hor/.ts files to other machines, the .omf did not get updated on that machine and therefore the new files could not be loaded.  Eureka!!

So the answer (now) is simple.  OpendTect project portability is a snap.  When you create a new horizon or session and want to port it to another machine, drag the whole Misc or Surfaces folder to the new machine and replace the old folder.  The .omf file goes along for the ride and your work will be available on the new machine.  Sweet.

Followup note: OD uses these invisible dot files as a native unix database. I find this far superior to other interpretation systems that hook into a commercial database.  In teaching my 3D seismic interpretation class, we have up to 30 students working across a network via shared drive. Database problems always arise requiring IT staff intervention, a major pain that can be completely avoided with OD. Maybe for some level of complexity a commercial database is necessary, like too many wells or surfaces or multiple users interpreting the same project. But I have not yet bumped into that limit. The chance to run an interpretation class across multiple platforms without any database is very appealing.

Irregular xyz data and GMT

After much tribulation (I will spare you the embarrassing details), I was finally able to install GMT on a macintosh and figure out the cryptic, yet powerful, GMT commands and options.

Mississippian tops gridded and displayed using open source GMT software. For well tops there are other tools, but for gridding general (x,y,z) data this is fabulous.

Might not seem like much, you could probably do it in Petra, Matlab, etc. But how about 1200 electrical conductivity values? No problem, but forget about posting the data values, just points this time.

About 1200 ground conductivity readings from an EM31 meter.  Negative values indicate metal objects in the near surface.  Conductivities between 5-20 mSm relate to areas with fresh groundwater.  High values (>30) probably represent shallow contamination by a conducting agent.

Here is the content of the raw text file miss.xyz, columns are (line, trace, depth)

Research cruise on Beaver Lake

Beaver Lake in NW Arkansas has 480 miles of shoreline along the flooded White River valley, much of it with important geological exposures. Our first exploration trip on July 18 logged 34 new locations and 700 high resolution photos for lab analysis.

Measuring section

A kayak (exactly 10 ft long) is a convenient scale bar when operated near the rock face.  Students John Gist (shown) and Thomas Liner are experienced kayak pilots, a benefit of growing up in Arkansas. 

Miss Boone outcrop L160 with kayak near face for scale and water line as natural level.
Import photo to ImageJ, zoom to Kayak and pull line tip-to-tip, then set scale of this distance to 10 ft.  Walah, a scaled photo with 0.1 ft resolution.  Of course, there is a bit of distortion above the line of site, but certainly more accuracy than a graduate student hanging off a rope down a 100 ft cliff. 

Full image with a few elements marked up using ImageJ. Since the Boone is known to be about 300 ft thick, this one site represents about 1/3 of the entire formation.

Candid moments
