Seismic processing and interpretation techniques provide important tools for the oil and gas exploration of the Songliao Basin in eastern China, which is dominated by terrestrial facies. In the Songliao Basin, a large number of thin-sand reservoirs are widely distributed, which are the primary targets of potential oil and gas exploration and exploitation. An important job of the exploration in the Songliao Basin is to accurately describe the distribution of these thin-sand belts and the sand-body shapes. However, the thickness of these thin-sand reservoirs are generally below the resolution of the conventional seismic processing. Most of the reservoirs are thin-interbeds of sand and mudstones with strong vertical and lateral variations. This makes it difficult to accurately predict the vertical and horizontal distribution of the thin-sand bodies using the conventional seismic processing and interpretation methods. Additionally, these lithologic traps are difficult to identify due to the complex controlling factor and distribution characteristics, and strong concealment. These challenges motivate us to improve the seismic data quality to help delineate the thin-sand reservoirs. In this paper, we use the broadband, wide-azimuth, and high-density integrated seismic exploration technique to help delineate the thin-reservoirs. We first use field single-point excitation and single-point receiver acquisition to obtain seismic data with wide frequency-bands, wide-azimuth angles, and high folds, which contain rich geological information. Next, we perform the near-surface Q-compensation, viscoelastic prestack time migration, seismic attributes, and seismic waveform indication inversion on the new acquired seismic data. The 3D case study indicates the benefits of improving the imaging of thin-sand body and the accuracy of inversion and reservoir characterization using the method in this paper.

This study examines the effect of filtering in the Radon transform domain on reflection amplitudes. Radon filters are often used for removal of multiple reflections from normal moveout-corrected seismic data. The unweighted solution to the Radon transform reduces reflection amplitudes at both near and far offsets due to a truncation effect. However, the weighted solutions to the transform produce localized events in the transform domain, which minimizes this truncation effect. Synthetic examples suggest that filters designed in the Radon domain based on a weighted solution to the linear, parabolic, or hyperbolic transforms preserve the near- and far-offset reflection amplitudes while removing the multiples; whereas the unweighted solutions diminish reflection amplitudes which may distort subsequent amplitude-versus-offset (AVO) analysis.

Our primary objective was to evaluate a method that enhances the resolution of 3D seismic data that does not disturb the relative amplitude preservation. The formations that are the subject of the analysis are Lower Silurian: the Jantar Formation and the Ordovician Sasino Formation (the onshore part of the Baltic Basin, northern Poland). Both formations are seismically thin layers and have been recent targets for unconventional exploration. Resolution enhancement designed to help the structural interpretation may enable precise structural interpretation of thinly layered intervals. The method that we applied is poststack spectral blueing. To verify the effectiveness of the spectral blueing procedure, we designed an algorithm that compares the amplitude values along evenly distributed seismic traces. The algorithm addresses the preservation of the relative amplitude ratio. We did not want to disturb the amplitude values by the enhancement algorithm and introduce information that would be false for seismic inversion analysis. Hence, it was crucial for us to obtain the enhanced seismic volume suitable for structural interpretation that holds relative amplitude relation criterion. The algorithm helped obtain the optimal enhanced seismic volume that is preferable for the structural interpretation of seismic data and possibly could be used successfully for a seismic inversion process. With the optimal enhanced seismic volume, we were able to conduct a more accurate structural interpretation — an entirely new seismic horizon that indicates that the top of one of the formations under analysis was clearly visible and thus possible for interpretation. We applied the acoustic inversion to the original and the enhanced seismic data — the latter enabled the determination of two additional anomalous zones that had not been previously possible to distinguish within the seismic volume.

High-resolution seismic data enables better well ties, structure delineation, stratigraphic mapping, and reservoir characterization. Differential resolution (DR) is a data-driven method to improve seismic resolution, but it can introduce a false spatial amplitude variation in the seismic output due to whole trace normalization. The newly proposed normalization technique decomposes the input seismic trace using a translating Gaussian window and then implements the DR algorithm on each window. The introduced weight factors give the interpreter control of the degree of spectral broadening. These developments enable the algorithm to account for the nonstationary properties of the seismic trace, reduce spurious spatial amplitude variation, and provide broader bandwidth seismic data for detailed analysis. We described the mathematical derivation of the nonstationary differential resolution (NSDR) algorithm and its implementation on synthetic and real seismic data. A comparison of NSDR with the original and DR shows better relative amplitude preservation.

Variation in the energy content of prey can drive the diet choice, growth and ultimate survival of consumers. In Pacific salmon species, obtaining sufficient energy for rapid growth during early marine residence is hypothesized to reduce the risk of size-selective mortality. In order to determine the energetic benefit of feeding choices for individuals, accurate estimates of energy density (ED) across prey groups are required. Frequently, a single species is assumed to be representative of a larger taxonomic group or related species. Further, single-point estimates are often assumed to be representative of a group across seasons, despite temporal variability. To test the validity of these practices, we sampled zooplankton prey of juvenile Chinook salmon to investigate fine-scale taxonomic and temporal differences in ED. Using a recently developed model to estimate the ED of organisms using percent ash-free dry weight, we compared energy content of several groups that are typically grouped together in growth studies. Decapod megalopae were more energy rich than zoeae and showed family-level variability in ED. Amphipods showed significant species-level variability in ED. Temporal differences were observed, but patterns were not consistent among groups. Bioenergetic model simulations showed that growth rate of juvenile Chinook salmon was almost identical when prey ED values were calculated on a fine scale or on a taxon-averaged coarse scale. However, single-species representative calculations of prey ED yielded highly variable output in growth depending on the representative species used. These results suggest that the latter approach may yield significantly biased results.
