Waveform-based estimation of Q and scattering properties for zero-offset vertical seismic profile data
(Society of Exploration Geophysicists, 2020-05-14)Estimating Q using downgoing waves in zero-offset vertical seismic profiles (VSPs) can be challenging when scattered waves from near-borehole heterogeneities interfere with direct arrivals. In any Q estimation method that ... -
Reservoir geophysics’ contributions to the energy transition and climate change challenge — Introduction
(Society of Exploration Geophysicists, 2026-03-09)Achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 represents one of the key scientific and societal challenges of our time. The energy industry plays a central role in this transition, which requires a rapid shift from ... -
Revisiting numerical validation of Gassmann’s equations: Open-pore boundary condition
(Society of Exploration Geophysicists, 2026-04-01)Gassmann’s equations are widely used to predict the effective moduli of fluid-saturated rocks from dry properties and basic petrophysical parameters, yet pore-scale validations that explicitly demonstrate numerical convergence ...
