  2. Reflection seismology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reflection_seismology

    Reflection seismology, more commonly referred to as "seismic reflection" or abbreviated to "seismic" within the hydrocarbon industry, is used by petroleum geologists and geophysicists to map and interpret potential petroleum reservoirs. The size and scale of seismic surveys has increased alongside the significant increases in computer power ...

  3. Bottom simulating reflector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bottom_simulating_reflector

    Seismic reflection is a sound wave bounced back from subsurface at the interface between media with different acoustic properties (density and wave velocity). [3] In geology, the reflections normally occur at the contacts between different rocks, for example, between layers of sedimentary rocks (stratification).

  4. Seismic wide-angle reflection and refraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seismic_wide-angle...

    In comparison to the typical seismic reflection survey, which is restricted to relatively small incidence angles due to the limited offsets between source and receiver, wide-angle reflection and refraction (WARR) data are acquired with long offsets, allowing the recording of both refracted and wide-angle reflection arrivals. [1] [2]

  5. Seismic source - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seismic_source

    An air gun seismic source (30 litre) A seismic source is a device that generates controlled seismic energy used to perform both reflection and refraction seismic surveys. A seismic source can be simple, such as dynamite, or it can use more sophisticated technology, such as a specialized air gun.

    Whenever a new social game creator burst onto the scene with promises of "shaking up the status quo," it's tough not respond with a bit of skepticism. Perhaps it's cynicism. Maybe it's even the ...

  7. Normal moveout - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normal_moveout

    Seismic data is sorted by common midpoint and then corrected for normal moveout. In reflection seismology, normal moveout (NMO) describes the effect that the distance between a seismic source and a receiver (the offset) has on the arrival time of a reflection in the form of an increase of time with offset. [1]
