There are a number of ways to measure the magnitude of an earthquake. Most scales are based on the amplitude of seismic waves recorded on seismometers. These scales account for the distance between ...

LOS ALAMOS, N.M., Aug. 18, 2020--Combing through historical seismic data, researchers using a machine learning model have unearthed distinct statistical features marking the formative stage of ...

For well over 70 years explorers have used seismic survey techniques and seismic wave amplitude interpretation to discover oil and gas. In that time they have relied solely on the measurement of ...

In petroleum exploration, migration is one of the most compute-intensive steps in the seismic data processing sequence. It accurately images the reflected and diffracted energy and aids in delineating ...

Seismic imaging is the primary subsurface mapping tool in exploration, converting reflected acoustic energy into geologically coherent images to identify and de-risk hydrocarbon prospects before ...

Scientists have long used the speed of seismic waves traveling through the Earth as a means of learning about the geologic structure beneath the Earth's surface, but the seismic waves they use have ...
