The high-resolution seismic method can provide acoustic reflectivity images of shallow marine geology structures. In South Vietnam, the demand for construction materials like sand is high; therefore, the exploration of its deposits is considered in this study. This study investigated an around 200-square-kilometer area offshore Bac Lieu using 2D seismic sub-bottom lines. We employed the process…
Initiatives such as the United Nations Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development and Seabed 2030 promote seabed mapping worldwide. In Brazil, especially on the Espírito Santo Continental Shelf, high-resolution seabed mapping has revealed an unknown complex seascape. Circular depressions (CDs) were mapped for the first time in the Costa das Algas Marine Protection Area. Herein, we aim…
Geophysicists interpreting seismic reflection data aim for the highest resolution possible as this facilitates the interpretation and discrimination of subtle geological features. Various deterministic methods based on Wiener filtering exist to increase the temporal frequency bandwidth and compress the seismic wavelet in a process called spectral shaping. Auto-encoder neural networks with convo…
Seismic inversion can be divided into time-domain inversion and frequency-domain inversion based on different transform domains. Time-domain inversion has stronger stability and noise resistance compared to frequency-domain inversion. Frequency domain inversion has stronger ability to identify small-scale bodies and higher inversion resolution. Therefore, the research on the joint inversion met…
Utilization of subsurface resources is essential to achieve energy sustainability including large-scale CO sequestration, H storage, geothermal energy extraction, and hydrocarbon recovery. In-situ visualization of fluid flow in geological media is essential to understand complex, coupled, physical and chemical processes underlying fluid injection, storage, extraction. X-ray Computed Tomogra…
Accurate detection and characterization of seafloor morphologies are crucial for marine researchers and industries involved in underwater mapping, environmental monitoring, or resource exploration. Although their detection has relied on visual inspection of detailed bathymetries, few efforts to automate the process can be found in the literature. This study presents a novel MatLab computer code…
Targeting reservoirs below seismic resolution presents a major challenge in reservoir characterization. High-resolution seismic data is critical for imaging the thin gas-bearing Khadro sand facies in several fields within the Lower Indus Basin (LIB). To truly characterize thin beds below tuning thickness, we showcase an optimally developed deep learning technique that can save up to 75% turn-ar…
The emission of dust particles, mainly from arid and semi-arid lands, as a result of climate change and human activities, is known to be a global issue. Identifying dust emission sources is the first key step in dealing with the hazardous consequences of this rising phenomenon. This study is an attempt to address one of the major challenges in mapping dust emission sources. Accordingly, an inno…
Micro-CT, also known as X-ray micro-computed tomography, has emerged as the primary instrument for pore-scale properties study in geological materials. Several studies have used deep learning to achieve super-resolution reconstruction in order to balance the trade-off between resolution of CT images and field of view. Nevertheless, most existing methods only work with single-scale CT scans, ign…
High-resolution digital rock micro-CT images captured from a wide field of view are essential for various geosystem engineering and geoscience applications. However, the resolution of these images is often constrained by the capabilities of scanners. To overcome this limitation and achieve superior image quality, advanced deep learning techniques have been used. This study compares four differe…
