The Near-Surface Seismic Investigation Consortium (NSSIC)

The Near-Surface Seismic Investigation Consortium (NSSIC)


 

  

 

Consortium Objective and Approach

           

The Consortium will be devoted to the investigation of near-surface effects on petroleum seismic data using a multidisciplinary approach that includes several branches of Science and Engineering.  The Consortium’s approach can be summarized as follows:

1.      Development of realistic models of near-surface features using available geophysical, geological, and engineering information. 

2.      Analysis of existing real data gathered over areas with specific near-surface features (e.g., sand dunes, karsts) and comparing it with results of our models.

3.      Performing small-scale and large-scale field experiments to calibrate our models.

4.      Development of scaled physical models of the near surface.
