⦿ 3) Instantaneous frequency
⦿ - sometimes aids in recognizing changes in bed
thickness and bed spacing.
⦿ Anomalous values of Instantaneous frequency
(negative values or unbelievably high positive
values) are particularly useful for recognizing:
⚫ Edges of reservoir compartments
⚫ Subtle faults
⚫ Stratigraphic pinchouts
⦿ Seismic Stratigraphy
⦿ A siliciclastic rock deposited in a high-accommodation environment contains
numerous vertically stacked stratal surface.
⦿ Marine Seismic
⦿ Source
⦿ Air gun – most common
⦿ Water gun – a piston is driven through the water so
fast that a vacuum bubble is produced. When this
bubble collapses, acoustic energy is radiated. The
pressure signature from a water gun has pressure
variations ( a precursor) before the main pressure
pulse. This precursor is caused by the initial
acceleration of the water, and special water gun
processing (signature deconvolution) must be
performed.
