Seismic Wave
Seismic waves are mechanical waves that occur as a result of the propagation of energy in
the surrounding medium. The energy initially occur locally and result in oscillations or shifts
position medium particles, pressure oscillations, or oscillations of the mass meeting. Seismic
waves are also known as elastic waves, due to the oscillation of particles occurs due to the
interaction between the medium disturbance force against elastic force, so that the waves
emerging from the interaction of the longitudinal, transverse waves and waves due to a
combination of both. The seismic waves can occur due to natural tectonic earthquakes and
volcanic, but it can also occur artificially, such as dynamite explosions, falling objects, water gun,
water gun and vibroseis (Munadi, 2000).
Snell’s Law
Snell's law (Figure 1.4) (also known as the Snell–Descartes law and the law of
refraction) is a formula used to describe the relationship between the angles of incidence and
refraction, when referring to light or other waves passing through a boundary between two
differentisotropic media, such as water, glass and air.

Figure 1.4 Refraction of light at the interface between two media of different refractive
indices, with n2 > n1. Since the velocity is lower in the second medium (v2 < v1), the angle of
refraction θ2 is less than the angle of incidence θ1; that is, the ray in the higher-index medium
is closer to the normal.
In optics, the law is used in ray tracing to compute the angles of incidence or
refraction, and in experimental optics and gemology to find the refractive index of a material.
The law is also satisfied in metamaterials, which allow light to be bent "backward" at a
negative angle of refraction with a negative refractive index. Although named after Dutch
astronomer Willebrord Snellius (1580– 1626), the law was first accurately described by the
scientist Ibn Sahl at Baghdad court, when in 984 he used the law to derive lens shapes that
focus light with no geometric aberrations in the manuscript on Burning Mirrors and Lenses.
Snell's law states that the ratio of the sines of the angles of incidence and refraction is
equivalent to the ratio of phase velocities in the two media, or equivalent to the reciprocal of
the ratio of the indices of refraction:
by each θ as the angle measured from the normal of the boundary, v as the velocity of light in
the respective medium (SI units are meters per second, or m/s) and n as the refractive index
(which is unitless) of the respective medium.
Huygen’s Principle
The first person to explain how wave theory can also account for the laws of
geometric optics was Christiaan Huygens in 1670. At the time, of course, nobody took the
slightest notice of him. His work was later rediscovered after the eventual triumph of wave
theory. Huygens had a very important insight into the nature of wave propagation which is
nowadays called Huygens' principle. When applied to the propagation of light waves, this
principle states that: Every point on a wave-front may be considered a source of secondary
spherical wavelets which spread out in the forward direction at the speed of light. The new
7
wave-front is the tangential surface to all of these secondary wavelets. According to Huygens'
principle, a plane light wave propagates though free space at the speed of light, c. The light
rays associated with this wavefront propagate in straight-lines. It is also fairly straightforward
to account for the laws of reflection and refraction using Huygens' principle.
Fermat Principle
Fermat's principle or the principle of least time is the principle that the path taken
between two points by a ray is the path that can be traversed in the least time. However, this
version of the principle is not general, a more modern statement of the principle is that rays of
light traverse the path of stationary optical length with respect to variations of the path. In
other words, a ray of light prefers the path such that there are other paths, arbitrarily nearby on
either side, along which the ray would take almost exactly the same time to traverse.
1. Polarity Seismic
Polarity is a depiction of a form of seismic reflection coefficients of wavelet in seismic
waves that are positive or negative. An understanding of this polarity is important to analyze the
seismic amplitude anomalies associated with hydrocarbons. Polarity is divided into two, namely
normal polarity and reverse polarity. Society of Exploration geophysicists (SEG) defines normal
polarity as follows (Sukmono and Abdullah, 2001).
1. Positive seismic signal will produce a positive acoustic pressure at the hydrophone in the
water or on the early movement upward geophone in the ground.
2. Positive seismic signals will be recorded as a negative value on the tape, a negative
deflection on the monitor and the trough in the seismic section.
8
Figure 1.5 Polarity Normal and Reverse Polarity by SEG (a) Minimum Phase, (b) Zero Phase
According to SEG, normal polarity can be linked to the acoustic impedance (IA) of the rock
layers as follows:
1. Reflection at the boundary where the acoustic impedance of the second layer over the first
layer of acoustic impedance, its deflection will be a valley (trough).
2. Reflection at the boundary where the acoustic impedance of the second layer is smaller
than the acoustic impedance of the first layer, the deflection will be a peak.
2. Trace Seismic
Seismic trace is the seismic data that reflects the response of the elastic wave acoustic
impedance contrast (reflectivity) at the boundary layer of the rock with another rock. The basic
model for one-dimensional seismic trace refers to the convolution models stating that each trace is
the result of a simple convolution of the earth reflectivity with seismic source function coupled
with noise. Mathematically, seismic trace can be written by the following equation ( * states
convolution).
4. Acoustic Impedance
Acoustic impedance (IA) is a physical trait that is influenced by the type of rock lithology,
porosity, fluid content, depth, pressure and temperature, so that IA can be used as an indicator of
lithology, porosity, hydrocarbon, and lithological mapping. Mathematically IA is the
multiplication of the speed of the price with price density of a rock, with the following equation:
9
Where ρ is the density and v is the velocity of seismic waves. Acoustic impedance may also be
analogous to the acoustic hardness or hard rock (hard rock) and compressed difficult. For
example, limestone and granite have high IA, whereas soft rocks such as clays have low IA
(Sukmono and Abdullah, 2001). Acoustic impedance contrast prices can be estimated from the
magnitude of the reflection amplitude, the greater the amplitude, the greater the reflection and
acoustic impedance contrast.
5. Wavelet
Wavelet is the character of a wave that has a wavelength component, amplitude,
frequency, and certain phases. Characteristics of a wavelet can be seen from the spectrum of
the amplitude and phase, in which there is information on the conditions and the nature of the
wavelet (Sismanto, 2006). There are four types of wavelets are generally known by the
concentration of energy, namely:
1. Zero-phase wavelet (zero phase wavelet), has a maximum energy concentration in the
middle, has minimal side-lobes, and the delay time zero, so that the wavelet maximum
resolution. Wavelet is also referred to as the symmetric wavelet.
2. Minimum-phase wavelet (minimum phase wavelet), have focused on the energy front.
Compared with other types of wavelets with the same amplitude spectrum, the
minimum-phase wavelet has the smallest change or phase shift at each frequency.
3. Maximum-phase wavelet (maximum phase wavelet), have focused energy to the
maximum at the end of the wavelet, so is the inverse of the minimum-phase wavelet.
4. Mixed-phase wavelet (mixed phase wavelet), the wavelet energy is not concentrated at
the front and at the back.
In seismic exploration, the type commonly used wavelet is zero-phase and minimum (Russell,
1991).
Seismic Interpretation
Seismic interpretation provides an assessment of a prospect’s hydrocarbon potential
and, if favorable, identifies best locations for drilling wells. Interpretation should make use of
all of the following that are available:
Vertical seismic sections (usually migrated)
Horizontal seismic sections
Velocity models
10
Well logs
VSP data
Amplitude versus offset (AVO) analyses
Geochemical analyses
Other information obtained from previous drilling such as the presence of high
pressure zones in the subsurface
Techniques used in seismic interpretation:
Modeling
Tomography
AVO
VSP interpretation (Gadallah, 2009)
Reflection configuration is a form of surface that gives reflection. The interpretation techniques
include:
1. Correlation with well seismic tie.
2. Determination of the mapped horizon.
3. Tracing or follow the layers mapped throughout the seismic data is given a specific color.
4. The entire seismic line which has traced, price two way travel time (TWT) that have been
obtained are plotted on the basis of seismic maps and the same point will be connected to
provide contour lines.
Well Log
Wireline logs or well logs are obtained by means of measuring equipment (logging
tools) lowered on cable (wireline) into the well. Measurements are transmitted up the cable
(which contains one or several conductors) to a surface laboratory or computer unit. The
recording of this information on film or paper constitutes the well-log. Log data may also be
recorded on magnetic tape. A large number of different logs may be run, each recording a
different property of the rocks penetrated by the well (Serra, 1984).
Caliper Logging
A caliper tool is used to measure the diameter of a borehole and how it changes with
depth. It typically works by using one or more spring-loaded arms, which are pressed against
the borehole wall as the tool is raised from the bottom of the borehole. Motion in and out
from the borehole wall is recorded electrically and transmitted to surface recording
equipment.
The simplest caliper tool uses just one arm to record diameter. More sophisticated
tools may have four or more arms each independently measuring distance to the borehole
wall. Multi-arm tools generally give better resolution of the borehole shape than a single arm
tool.
Sonic Logging
Sonic tools work by transmitting a sound (ie. P waves) through the rocks of the
borehole wall. A basic sonic tool generally consists of two modules. One contains the
transmitter and the other contains two or more receivers. The two parts separated by a rubber
connector to reduce the amount of direct transmission of acoustic energy along the tool from
transmitter to receiver. In practice, sonic logging actually measures the “time of flight” along
the fastest signal path. Because this time of flight is dependent on the density of the medium,
it can be used to calculate the average density of the rocks through which the signal passed.
Sonic logging tools were initially developed for the petroleum industry as porosity measuring
devices, and they have a similar use in regolith. In hard rock environments, where porosities
are generally low, sonic logs can be very useful lithological probes. A very important use of
sonic logs is for the correcting of interval velocities used in seismic processing and
interpretation. This leads to better velocity models for seismic processing and analysis. Sonic
log data from shallow holes drilled in the regolith can also be particularly useful as inputs for
static corrections in seismic processing. This can yield useful information about the depth of
the regolith.
Electrical Methods
These methods are also used in regolith studies. In particular, conductivity logs are
often used for ground-truthing airborne EM data, and resistivity and SP logs are recorded in
12
some water bores. The factors, which effect the electrical properties of rocks, are, in order of
decreasing importance (Hallenburg, 1984):
1. porosity and water content;
2. water chemistry;
3. rock chemistry and mineralogy;
4. degree of rock alteration & mineralization;
5. amount of evaporates;
6. amount of humid acids; and,
7. temperature.
Resistivity Logs
If a material containing unbound charged particles is subjected to a voltage difference
then an electrical current will flow. The impedance to this flow is called the electrical
resistance and it is a function of the geometry of the current flow and the intrinsic resistivity
of the material. Some materials such as quartz and muscovite have high resistivity, while
others have more moderate values (e.g. sand) and for some the resistivity is low (e.g. clay,
saline groundwater).
The resistivity and conductivity of a material are inversely proportional quantities. The
measurement is referred to as resistivity when measurements are made with a contact, or
focused, resistivity probe by causing a current to flow in rocks. In these cases the resulting
voltage drop is measured. (Keys, 1988)
Current flow in a porous clean sandstone (i.e. shale-free) is mainly through the fluids
within the pore spaces. Thus, in the absence of shale, the resistivity is mainly
indicative of the characteristics of the pore spaces (for example pore volume, pore
interconnectivity, pore fluid composition).
Electrical conductivity
The term conductivity generally is applied to measurements that are made with an
induction probe, utilizing principles of electromagnetic induction. These measurements can be
made either in fluid-filled or dry holes. Conductivity measurements are important for
calibrating airborne EM data. Physical properties influencing conductivity are:
1. porosity and fracturing;
2. mineralogy;
3. alteration;
4. pore fluid % in pores;
13
5. salinity; and,
6. pore connectivity.
Knowledge of fluid conductivity and the borehole diameter enables application of corrections
for borehole effects.
Radioactive Methods
The principal radioactive emissions of interest in borehole geophysics are gamma rays
and neutrons. Other radioactive products such as alpha particles (helium nuclei) and beta
particles (electrons) can penetrate such small distances through rocks that they are not useful
for logging.
Natural Gamma Logging
The simplest radioactive method in geophysical well logging is the natural gamma log.
These logging tools record the level of naturally occurring gamma ray emissions from the
rocks around a borehole. The simplest of these type of tools records only the total gamma ray
signal. This signal is comprised essentially of gamma ray emissions at different energy levels
from the radioactive isotopes of the elements Potassium (40K), Thorium (232Th) and
Uranium (238U) and the daughter products in the decay series of each. The distribution of K,
Th and U (and their daughter products) varies widely in the continental crust and can also be
significantly affected by regolith processes and by biological activity. As a result, logging of
the gamma ray signal emanating from the rocks around a borehole can provide considerable
information about the geology and the processes that have operated.
In sedimentary rock sequences, relatively high natural gamma counts are recorded in
shales and other clay-rich sediments and relatively low counts are recorded in clean quartz
sandstones and limestones. The high signals observed in clay-rich sediments are largely due to
14
the affinity of clay minerals for potassium. However, many regolith clays are leached and do
not contain substantial amount of potassium. Therefore, this interpretation is not always
applicable for regolith units. More sophisticated natural gamma logging tools separately
record the gamma ray counts of the three decay series. In this way detailed information about
the chemistry of the rocks in the borehole wall can be acquired.
III. GOALS
The goals of the proposal such as:
1. Knowing and understanding the steps of interpretation using seismic data, well log and the
other data supports.
2. Understanding and able to operate the software associated with the seismic
interpretation.
3. Interpreted well log in the process of reservoir characterizing.
4. Provide real work experience as a capital to entered the world of work later.
15
This step is the first step that needs to be done to know and to collect measuring data and to know
the condition of research field.
b. Quality Control of Seismic Data
In the quality control of seismic data, there is Time Shifting that purpose to match the time for one
seismic line to the others, in case of the different time of seismic line causes error when the traces
path of seismic horizon is done.
c. Looping Seismic Data and Well Log (Well Seismic Tie)
The process of looping well seismic data and well log is done by putting the same reflectors
between synthetic seismogram and real seismic. From this process, the well position to the real
seismic depth (in the time function) can be located.
d. Picking Horizon
Picking Horizon is used in the seismic trace with the purpose is to define the target zone that will
be analyzed and used to limit or constrain in making a model for inversion analysis.
e. Mapping
Mapping is a representation of the spread zone from hydrocarbon reservoir in the research area
and it is made from processing data done before.
f. Interpretation
After the processing data and mapping, the next step is interpreting the hydrocarbon reservoir
map.
