This third edition is a vides the theoretical and practical foundation for tack- major update of the second edition. Sections dealing ling present and future challenges of petroleum seis- with interpretation have been greatly revised in accor- mology, especially those related to seismic survey dance with improved understanding and availability designs, seismic data acquisition, seismic and EM of data and software. Practice exercises have been added, as well as a 3D seismic modeling, seismic imaging, microseismicity, and res- survey predesign exercise. Discussions include: conceptual and historical foun- ervoir characterization and monitoring. The initial chapters progress from the dations of modern reflection seismology; an overview of seismic wave phenom- first principles of physics to the fundamentals of elastodynamicwave propaga- ena in acoustic, elastic, and porous media; acquisition principles for land and tion. Then modern developments in petroleum seismology are discussed, in- marine seismic surveys; methods used to create 2D and 3D seismic images from cluding multicomponent data, wavefield decomposition, multiple elimination, field data; concepts of dip moveout, prestack migration, and depth migration; amplitude variation with offset and azimuth analysis and inversion, anisotropy, concepts and limitations of 3D seismic interpretation for structure, stratigraphy, linear anelasticity, and nonlinear elasticity.
