20140153366 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR VELOCITY ANOMALY ANALYSIS - Methods of analyzing velocity models include defining velocity anomaly models for a subsurface region under study. The velocity anomaly model is overlain on a seismic stack image to produce a hybrid velocity/amplitude model. Regions in which stack amplitudes are coincident with velocity anomalies may be interpreted as representing structures of interest. In an embodiment, clathrate deposits are identified using the hybrid model. In an embodiment, geobodies are identified, and velocity anomalies are constrained by the geobodies for revising migration models. | 06-05-2014 |

20140254321 | METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR DETERMINING CLATHRATE PRESENCE AND SATURATION USING SIMULATED WELL LOGS - Methods and systems for determining a presence and saturation of clathrates are provided. One method includes identifying a potential zone of clathrates based on observed seismic data, the observed seismic data including an observed signal amplitude at the potential zone of clathrates, and assigning subsurface sediment types within and around the potential zone of clathrates. The method includes creating one or more lithologic type logs based on the interpreted subsurface sediment types, and creating from each of the one or more lithologic type logs a plurality of synthetic logs including compressional velocity at a plurality of possible clathrate saturation levels. The method includes matching expected signals from one of the plurality of synthetic logs to the observed signals in the observed seismic data to determine a best-fit match synthetic log to the observed seismic data, thereby determining a clathrate saturation level from among the plurality of possible clathrate saturation levels. | 09-11-2014 |
