Abstract
In the June 2010 issue of The Leading Edge, we reported the successful completion of the SEAM Phase I project. However, we have been fortunate to receive additional financial support from the Research Partnership to Secure Energy for America (RPSEA) to conduct simulations on the existing variable-density acoustic model and the development of resistivity, shear-wave, and tilted transverse isotropy (TTI) parameters for the existing SEAM model. RPSEA will also support the simulation of acquisitions on the new models. We previously reported (TLE, February 2010) on the development of the nonseismic (controlled-source electromagnetic, magnetotelluric, and gravity) models used for simulations conducted as part of the RPSEA-supported effort. We now report on simulations we conducted on the existing SEAM Phase I variable-density acoustic model where the free upper surface is replaced with an absorbing upper surface (AUS). These simulations complement a modest AUS data set that was simulated as part of the SEAM Phase I project and reported on in the October 2009 issue of TLE.
