Basic Wave Analysis
Authors Enders A. Robinson and Tijmen Jan MoserEditors: Huafeng Liu, Alexey Stovas, Yunyue Li and Wei LiuLanguage: EnglishPublication Date: January 2020More LessWritten in three parts, Basic Wave Analysis provides the information required for understanding the fundamental aspects of the elaborate computer processing schemes prevalent in exploration geophysics. Part 1 addresses velocity analysis. The correct determination of velocity is the most important problem in seismic exploration, and an understanding of velocity analysis is a valuable asset for a geophysicist. Part 2 discusses raypath analysis. Raypaths provide a geometrical picture of how waves travel, so that a person can visualize raypaths in their imagination. Geometrical pictures are as important in seismology as they are in optics. Part 3 addresses wavefront analysis. A person cannot easily visualize traveling wavefronts in their imagination; however, a computer can follow their motion and give the geophysicist the final outcome. Knowledge of wavefront analysis helps a geophysicist understand many modern computer methods.
Alongside contemporary technical information, however, this book also serves to remind the readers of our pioneering ancestors of scientific research. Too often, the study of science pays minimal attention to the historical forbearers to whom we owe much. On the contrary, the stories of these important figures provide fascinating insight into the development of ideas which underpin our work today. Basic Wave Analysis was copublished with EAGE.

Beyond Conventional Seismic Imaging (OTE 1)
By E. LandaLanguage: EnglishPublication Date: January 2007More LessThis book deals mostly with different aspects of time imaging, wavefield parameter estimation and velocity model building. Evgeny Landa introduces some new ideas of non-specular seismic imaging and imaging without using velocity or wavefield parameters.
In this book Landa briefly describes the CMP method and NMO moveout correction. He discusses several non-hyperbolic generalizations of the NMO correction and he introduces two new imaging methods which are not based on the CMP observation geometry. He also introduces imaging based on scattering wavefield rather than on specular reflections. A special chapter will describe a new methodology integrating imaging and prestack data re-datuming to simplify the observed wavefield. At the end of the book a new heuristic method for imaging without knowledge or estimation of velocity information will be described.

EL ORO NEGRO (The Black Gold)
Language: EnglishPublication Date: January 2014More LessThere has never been a lack of oil in the world. By using advanced extraction methods and with higher oil prices, economically accessible reserves are increasing. Because of the new technologies, which I discuss in detail in this book, these reserves continue to increase. Up to now, an average of 20 to 30% of the original oil present in the ground is recoverable. This percentage could rise to 50 to 60%. Production from structures that were previously unproductive is now and continues to become possible. This will lead to hundreds more years of oil extraction.
This book is about oil. But gas reserves (the invisible gold) have also increased sharply, in part due to new technologies, and have more than doubled since 1980 with an average increase of 3% per year. This will provide 253 years of production at current production levels.
It should also be mentioned that this doesn’t take into account new future discoveries and adjusted reserves, which there are sure to be.
