Abstract

Developing a picture of the large scale structure of the reservoir is the primary objective of geophysics within the context of reservoir management. An image of the reservoir structure is obtained by initiating a disturbance that propagates through the earth's crust and is reflected at subsurface boundary interfaces. The reflected signal is acquired, processed, and interpreted. This chapter discusses the physics of waves, describes the propagation of a seismic wave through the subsurface medium, and discusses the analysis of seismic data. It also discusses the physics of waves, propagation of seismic waves, and acoustic impedance and reflection coefficients. The chapter also elaborates on acquisition, processing, and interpretation of seismic data. It illustrates seismic resolution as well.
