The concept of phase permeates seismic data processing and signal processing in general, but it can be awkward to understand, and manipulating it directly can lead to surprising results. It doesn't help that the word phase is used to mean a variety of things, depending on whether we refer to the propagating wavelet, the observed wavelet, poststack seismic attributes, or an entire seismic data set. Several publications have discussed the concepts and ambiguities (e.g., Roden and Sepúlveda, 1999 ; Liner, 2002 ; Simm and White, 2002 ).

Abstract The objective of this work is to describe a comprehensive approach integrating seismic data processing and sets of wireline logs for reservoir characterization of one of the tight gas plays of the Dnieper-Donets basin. This paper intends to discuss a case study from seismic data processing, integrating seismic attributes with formation properties from logs in a geocellular model for sweet spot selection and risk analysis. The workflow during the project included the following steps.Seismic data 3D processing, including 5D interpolation and PSTM migration.Interpretation of limited log data from 4 exploration and appraisal wells.Seismic interpretation and inversion.Building a static model of the field.Recommendations for drilling locations.Evaluation of the drilled well to verify input parameters of the initial model. The static model integrated all available subsurface data and used inverted seismic attributes calibrated to the available logs to constrain the property modelling. Then various deterministic and stochastic approaches were used for facies modeling and estimation of gas-in-place volume. Integrating all the available data provides insights for better understating the reservoir distribution and provided recommendations for drilling locations. Based on the combination of the geocellular model, seismic attributes and seismic inversion results, the operator drilled an exploration well. The modern set of petrophysical logs acquired in the recently drilled well enforced prior knowledge and delivered a robust picture of the tight gas reservoir. The results from the drilled well matched predicted formation properties very closely, which added confidence in the technical approach applied in this study and similar studies that followed later. It is the fork in the road moment for the Dnieper-Donetsk basin with huge tight gas potential in the region that inspires for exploration of other prospects and plays. A synergy of analytical methods with a combination of seismic processing, geomodeling, and reservoir characterization approaches allowed accurate selection of the drilling targets with minimum risk of "dry hole" that has been vindicated by successful drilling outcome in a new exploration well.

Several recent advances made in 3-D seismic data processing are discussed in this paper.Development of a time-variant FK dip-moveout algorithm allows application of the correct three-dimensional operator. Coupled with a high-dip one-pass 3-D migration algorithm, this provides improved resolution and response at all azimuths. The use of dilation operators extends the capability of the process to include an economical and accurate (within well-defined limits) 3-D depth migration.Accuracy of the migration velocity model may be improved by the use of migration velocity analysis: of the two approaches considered, the data-subsetting technique gives more reliable and interpretable results.Conflicts in recording azimuth and bin dimensions of overlapping 3-D surveys may be resolved by the use of a 3-D interpolation algorithm applied post 3-D stack and which allows the combined surveys to be 3-D migrated as one data set.

We present an overview of reproducible 3D seismic data processing and imaging using the Madagascar open-source software package. So far, there has been a limited number of studies on the processing of real 3D data sets using open-source software packages. Madagascar with its wide range of individual programs and tools available provides the capability to fully process 3D seismic data sets. The goal is to provide a streamlined illustration of the approach for the implementation of 3D seismic data processing and imaging using the Madagascar open-source software package. A brief introduction is first given to the Madagascar open-source software package and the publicly available 3D Teapot Dome seismic data set. Several processing steps are applied to the data set, including amplitude gaining, ground roll attenuation, muting, deconvolution, static corrections, spike-like random noise elimination, normal moveout (NMO) velocity analysis, NMO correction, stacking, and band-pass filtering. A 3D velocity model in depth is created using Dix conversion and time-to-depth scaling. Three-dimensional poststack depth migration is then performed followed by [Formula: see text]-[Formula: see text] deconvolution and structure-enhancing filtering of the migrated image to suppress random noise and enhance the useful signal. We show that Madagascar, as a powerful open-source environment, can be used to construct a basic workflow to process and image 3D seismic data in a reproducible manner.
