Book Description
Books published during recent years in the field of applied geo physics can be, in general, divided into two main types. The first type covers such multiaspect books as "Introduction to Geophysics", while the second-special works on fundamental theoretical prob lems with an elaborate mathematical description. The books of the first type are mainly intended for beginner students and specialists in adjacent fields. The books of the second type may be useful for teachers and theorists. However, there are also books of another (third) type. These books describe the experience in geophysical in vestigation under specific conditions or propose solutions to concrete geological problems, being a methodological guide for geophysicists and concentrating ideas both for advanced students and researchers. Authors hope to give the readers a book of this kind. Interpretation of geophysical fields is a complex consistent pro cess. Its successful realization requires: (a) knowledge of geological regularities and geological situation; (b) availability of petrophysical support; (c) mathematical methods of solving direct and inverse problems of geophysics (i.e. computation of geophysical fields from a known source and determination of source characteristics from known fields); (d) application of statistical and logico-informational procedures to the analysis and synthesis of observation results for revealing desired objects and peculiarities of the geological structure.

Geophysical Applications of Artificial Neural Networks and Fuzzy Logic
Author: W. Sandham
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9401702713
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 336
Book Description
The past fifteen years has witnessed an explosive growth in the fundamental research and applications of artificial neural networks (ANNs) and fuzzy logic (FL). The main impetus behind this growth has been the ability of such methods to offer solutions not amenable to conventional techniques, particularly in application domains involving pattern recognition, prediction and control. Although the origins of ANNs and FL may be traced back to the 1940s and 1960s, respectively, the most rapid progress has only been achieved in the last fifteen years. This has been due to significant theoretical advances in our understanding of ANNs and FL, complemented by major technological developments in high-speed computing. In geophysics, ANNs and FL have enjoyed significant success and are now employed routinely in the following areas (amongst others): 1. Exploration Seismology. (a) Seismic data processing (trace editing; first break picking; deconvolution and multiple suppression; wavelet estimation; velocity analysis; noise identification/reduction; statics analysis; dataset matching/prediction, attenuation), (b) AVO analysis, (c) Chimneys, (d) Compression I dimensionality reduction, (e) Shear-wave analysis, (f) Interpretation (event tracking; lithology prediction and well-log analysis; prospect appraisal; hydrocarbon prediction; inversion; reservoir characterisation; quality assessment; tomography). 2. Earthquake Seismology and Subterranean Nuclear Explosions. 3. Mineral Exploration. 4. Electromagnetic I Potential Field Exploration. (a) Electromagnetic methods, (b) Potential field methods, (c) Ground penetrating radar, (d) Remote sensing, (e) inversion.

Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 302
Book Description
Paleomagnetic data are useful in many applications in Earth Science from determining paleocurrent directions to analyzing the long-term behavior of the geomagnetic field. In this book, an attempt has been made to draw together the various principles and practices within paleomagnetism in a consistent and up-to-date manner. It includes many practical examples that illustrate various applications of paleomagnetism. A companion software package implements the theory explained in the text. Audience: This volume is aimed at professional Earth Scientists using paleomagnetic data for their research. It is also suitable for use as a text book for students in courses with a paleomagnetic content. In addition, this volume will be of value to other professionals with an interest in the analysis of vector and tensor data in general.

Électrographies de fond de mer – une révolution dans la prospection pétrolière ?
Author: SAINSON Stéphane
Publisher: Lavoisier
ISBN: 2743064331
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 564
Book Description
L’électrographie de fond de mer (EFM) regroupe les méthodes électromagnétiques d’exploration du sous-sol marin et plus spécifiquement celles dédiées à la prospection des hydrocarbures en mer. Apparues commercialement en 2000, ces techniques, avec plus de 500 opérations industrielles, présentent après 10 ans de succès commerciaux un taux record de découverte de près de 90 %, et semblent aujourd’hui bouleverser la donne en matière de recherche pétrolière offshore. En proposant un indice de présence d’hydrocarbures sérieux, l’EFM couplée à la sismique réflexion est probablement la première méthode fiable de détection directe des hydrocarbures. Complétant les concepts structuralistes de la prospection indirecte en vigueur depuis les années 1920, l’EFM modifie aujourd’hui radicalement l’approche et les philosophies d’exploration, en particulier celles incluant en aval les activités de forages et de diagraphies de fond de trou. S’appuyant sur les lois de l’électromagnétisme (équations de Maxwell), Électrographies de fond de mer décrit et analyse en détail les principes physiques, les méthodes, les techniques et les technologies mis en œuvre ou en voie de l’être. De plus, une note historique montrant l’évolution des idées, des concepts et des matériels depuis les années 1930, dates des premières tentatives, complète chaque chapitre. Synthèse unique, cet ouvrage abondamment illustré constitue un véritable outil de réflexion sur l’utilisation en prospection de l’énergie électromagnétique en milieu conducteur (eau de mer) fixant ainsi les limites théoriques et pratiques de ces investigations pour les développements à venir. Destiné aux géophysiciens et géologues du pétrole, il sera également utile aux physiciens du globe, aux ingénieurs réservoir, aux diagraphistes, aux log analysts, ainsi qu’à tous les étudiants en géosciences.
