Introduction to Petroleum Seismology, second edition (SEG Investigations in Geophysics Series No. 12) provides the theoretical and practical foundation for tackling present and future challenges of petroleum seismology especially those related to seismic survey designs, seismic data acquisition, seismic and EM modeling, seismic imaging, microseismicity, and reservoir characterization and monitoring. All of the chapters from the first edition have been improved and/or expanded. In addition, twelve new chapters have been added. These new chapters expand topics which were only alluded to in the first edition: sparsity representation, sparsity and nonlinear optimization, near-simultaneous multip...
Currently, the acquisition of seismic surveys is performed as a sequential operation in which shots are computed separately, one after the other. This approach is similar to that of multiple-access technology, which is widely used in cellular communications to allow several subscribers to share the same telephone line. The cost of performing various shots simultaneously is almost identical to that of one shot; thus, the savings in time and money expected from using the multishooting approach for computing seismic surveys compared to the current approach are enormous. By using this approach, the long-standing problem of simulating a three-dimensional seismic survey can be reduced to a matter of weeks and not years, as is currently the case. - Investigates how to collect, stimulate, and process multishooting data - Addresses the improvements in seismic characterization and resolution one can expect from multishooting data - Aims to educate the oil and gas exploration and production business of the benefits of multishooting data, and to influence their day-to-day surveying techniques
This series contains short biographies of deceased members of the National Academy of Engineering.
A beautifully illustrated tour of the visual culture of medieval falconry in Europe and beyond. Medieval falconry was not just about hunting; the practice also signified sovereignty, power, and diplomacy. In The Art of Medieval Falconry, Yannis Hadjinicolaou describes the visual culture that sprang up around these practices, tracking how imagery, equipment, and even the birds themselves moved through the medieval world. Indeed, Hadjinicolaou shows that falconry has been a global phenomenon since at least the thirteenth century. This beautifully illustrated book offers a unique glimpse at how cultures across the globe adopted and adapted the visual culture of medieval falconry.
Herrscherbesuche sind für die gastgebenden Eliten im vormodernen Italien ehrenvolle Ereignisse, die mittels Wandmalereien dauerhaft an den Wänden der besuchten Häuser inszeniert werden. Im Zeitraum von 1300 bis 1750 lassen sich in der Toskana, dem Aostatal, der Lombardei und in Venetien Wandmalereien beobachten, die das Motiv des Herrscherbesuches vielgestaltig thematisieren. Von spätmittelalterlichen Throndarstellungen über komplexe heraldische Anordnungen bis hin zu frühneuzeitlichen Historienbildern inszenieren die Malereien den empfangenen Herrscher, aber auch und insbesondere die elitären Gastgeber. Oszillierend zwischen historischer Realität und visueller Fiktion lassen sich fÃ...
