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 ...

Oil wells often dry up far earlier than predicted, leaving companies baffled about the “missing” reserves. A Penn State team ...

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 ...

Combing through historical seismic data, researchers using a machine learning model have unearthed distinct statistical features marking the formative stage of slow-slip ruptures in the earth's crust ...

This course is designed for those working with reflection seismic data to understand and appreciate the underlying principles and processes leading to final images and associated attributes. Basic ...

Penn State team uncovers hidden structures missed by traditional seismic scans that prevent oil extraction. A frequent challenge in oil drilling is that wells can stop producing even when seismic ...
