Bayesian Lithology and Fluid Prediction on the Mikkel Field using a geologically constrained prior model
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2017;, Master thesis, 2017-06)The main objective of this project was to predict lithology and fluid classes from prestack seismic data at the Mikkel field in the Norwegian Sea. Segments 5 and 7 on the flank of the main field are of special interest ... -
Coupling of trishear fault-propagation folding and ground process modelling.
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2017;, Master thesis, 2017-06-15)This thesis couples two processes, tectonics and sedimentation, by simulating the kinematics of fault-propagation folding with sedimentary processes in the form of erosion, transport, and deposition, in a 3D numerical ... -
Converted wave imaging and velocity analysis using elastic reverse-time migration
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2017;, Master thesis, 2017-06-22)Along the continuous evolution of exploration seismology, the main objective has been producing better subsurface seismic images that lead to lower risk exploration and enhanced production. The unique characteristics of ... -
