• 1. US 4,910,716- March 20, 1990. Suppression of coherent noise in seismic data. Kirlin, Rodney L.  and Done, William J..   A method is disclosed to suppress coherent noise in seismic data. Based on the Karhunen-Loeve Transform, this method trains on a region containing undesired coherent noise. Eigenvectors determined from the convariance matrix of that noise are used to reconstruct the noise throughout the data set. Subtracting the reconstruction from the original data leaves a residual in which the coherent noise has been suppressed. Applying this method to a shot record of marine seismic data illustrates that the procedure does suppress noise on actual seismic data.

  2.  US 5,940,778. August 17, 1999.  Method of seismic attribute generation and seismic exploration.  Marfurt,Kurt; Kirlin, R. Lynn; Gersztenkorn, Adam.  Assigned to BP Amoco Corporation.  The present invention relates generally to the field of seismic exploration and, in more particular, to methods of quantifying and visualizing structural and stratigraphic features in three dimensions through the use of eigenvector and eigenvalue analyses of a similarity matrix. This invention also relates to the field of seismic attribute generation and the use of seismic attributes derived from similarity matrices to detect the conditions favorable for the origination, migration, accumulation, and presence of hydrocarbons in the subsurface. Additionally, the methods disclosed herein provide a new means for analyzing unstacked seismic data to uncover AVO effects. The invention disclosed herein will be most fully appreciated by those in the seismic interpretation and seismic processing arts.

  3. US 5,930,730. July 27, 1999.  Method and apparatus for seismic signal processing and exploration. Marfurt; Kurt J.; Kirlin, R. Lynn; Farmer; Steven L.; Bahorich; Michael S. . Assigned to BP Amoco Corporation.  A method, a map and an article of manufacture for the exploration of hydrocarbons. In one embodiment of the invention, the method comprises the steps of: accessing 3D seismic data; dividing the data into an array of relatively small three-dimensional cells; determining in each cell the semblance/similarity, the dip and dip azimuth of the seismic traces contained therein; and displaying dip, dip azimuth and the semblance/similarity of each cell in the form a two-dimensional map. In one embodiment, semblance/similarity is a function of time, the number of seismic traces within the cell, and the apparent dip and apparent dip azimuth of the traces within the cell; the semblance/similarity of a cell is determined by making a plurality of measurements of the semblance/similarity of the traces within the cell and selecting the largest of the measurements. In addition, the apparent dip and apparent dip azimuth, corresponding to the largest measurement of semblance/similarity in the cell, are deemed to be estimates of the true dip and true dip azimuth of the traces therein. A color map, characterized by hue, saturation and lightness, is used to depict semblance/similarity, true dip azimuth and true dip of each cell; true dip azimuth is mapped onto the hue scale, true dip is mapped onto the saturation scale, and the largest measurement of semblance/similarity is mapped onto the lightness scale of the color map.

  4. US 6,131,071  Spectral decomposition for seismic interpretation, October 10, 2000..Partyka, Gregory; Gridley,  James M.; Marfurt, Kurt J.; Kirlin,R. Lynn ; Assigned to BP Amoco Corporation.  The present invention is directed generally toward a method of processing seismic data to provide improved quantification and visualization of subtle seismic thin bed tuning effects and other sorts of lateral rock discontinuities. A reflection from a thin bed has a characteristic expression in the frequency domain that is indicative of the thickness of the bed: the reflection has a periodic sequence of notches in its amplitude spectrum, with the notches being spaced a distance apart that is inversely proportional to the temporal thickness of the thin bed. Further, this characteristic expression may be used to track thin bed reflections through a 3-D volume and estimate their thicknesses and lateral extent. The usefulness of this invention is enhanced by a novel method of frequency domain whitening that emphasizes the geologic information present within the spectrum. Although the present invention is preferentially applied to a 3-D seismic volume, it is alternatively applied to any collection of spatially related seismic traces.
