00:00 We will, we will, so will begin this afternoon with addressing the

00:07 that you emailed uh to me uh the last time I saw you and

00:14 uh if you didn't email me then it right now. So let us

00:21 check my email. OK. So one from Carlos. Wow. So

00:44 is AAA really good question. And um so Utah left, uh So

00:52 me uh recover the zoom session. uh folks can uh can, can

00:57 hear me, give me a thumbs , Carlos, can you hear

01:01 OK. So Carlos asked under what can we consider that the R MS

01:08 is equal to the NMO velocity? . So that's a really good

01:13 So we just derived the, the out velocity. Uh uh uh

01:20 and so we'll, we'll shortly see to correct for the move out velocity

01:26 a lot of assumptions, right? what, what were those assumptions?

01:29 the, the assumptions were that the was flat layers. And furthermore,

01:35 was uh an unstated implication that they be co flat layers. That is

01:42 layers should be um um uh uh thin layers, what are thin

01:49 thin layers are thin compared to the wavelength. So of course, we

01:53 lots of seismic wavelengths uh uh in the seismic signal, right, we

01:57 all a whole spectrum of frequencies and have a whole spectrum of wavelengths.

02:02 but uh some of them uh are energetic than others, some of them

02:08 more power at, at that frequency others. And so what we say

02:13 is that consider the dominant wavelength, sort of corresponds to the dominant uh

02:20 , which you can see and on workstation with the, the uh the

02:26 extent of the arrival. So if arrival is uh uh uh uh you

02:30 , a pulse of, of energy with uh uh over about uh 50

02:36 , then we can sort of consider the dominant frequency even without doing a

02:43 year analysis. And then there will a corresponding um uh uh a corresponding

02:49 wavelength uh to that. And the corresponding to that frequency depends on the

02:56 velocity, of course, but you sort of make an estimate. Uh

03:01 And uh so, uh uh it turns out that the dominant wavelengths in

03:07 signals coming from reservoirs, you a few 1000 ft down uh that

03:14 uh wavelength is a couple of 100 long. So normally, uh the

03:22 are a lot thinner than that. , right there, you have an

03:25 of an assumption that we made as were deriving the dick's relationship for

03:32 uh so, uh for the R velocity, uh and for the move

03:40 , uh uh uh that's AAA an where uh we made an assumption which

03:46 obviously wrong in our experience. the beds are a lot thinner than

03:53 . And so, uh uh what did we assume? Well, we

03:56 that the individual course beds were And so that's probably not true

04:04 So these are bo uh both instances the R MS velocity is not equal

04:10 the NMO velocity. Remember the NMO , we are going to determine empirically

04:16 our um workstations by uh uh by c by testing a lot of different

04:23 and choosing that, that, that of which flattens the gathers, which

04:28 corrects for the move out for uh for the gathers in the data.

04:36 gonna talk more about that process but that's enough for now. So

04:41 see that the move out velocity is empirically determined thing or as the R

04:46 velocity is a property of the it's, it uh we calculated it

04:52 a function of the um uh layer and the local velocities uh everywhere in

05:00 over birth. So that's sort of property of the subsurface. And uh

05:06 um uh we will be addressing um shortly uh issues that arise when we

05:14 the difference between R MS velocity and velocity. But uh uh uh that's

05:23 very good uh question, Carlos and uh that sort of thing is gonna

05:29 up time and time and again. , what I'm gonna do right now

05:35 uh let's see, I don't think shared my screen have. I,

05:38 don't think I've shared my screen with . OK. So, uh we

05:42 need to share the screen uh Let me go back and see what

05:46 questions we have. Here's one from uh le le and she says uh

05:52 uh on slide 61. Why is curl free part used to derive the

05:59 wave and the divergence free part is sheer wave. OK. So let's

06:05 uh uh uh let's go back to slide. So what I'm gonna do

06:12 get out of the email remembering that gonna do slide 61. Oh What

06:29 an elasticity. Yes. Yes. oh OK. Any, any

06:35 OK. So, uh uh before do that, I am going to

06:41 up that slide from elasticity and its on a second. Here we

06:58 Um All right, here we got elasticity. OK. So uh now

07:13 a good time to share the And so here we go, share

07:18 screen and this is what I'm gonna . OK. So everybody can see

07:25 screen now. And yes. Uh this beginning slide of that. So

07:32 me just go down to slide 62. Mm 62. I don't

07:42 that's the right one. Oh So I think it's a wave

07:51 Yes. OK. So uh I'm stop sharing this file and go back

07:59 uh the powerpoint oops powerpoint and uh get out of this and find a

08:10 equation would be extra three. Here go. And now I'm gonna

08:23 OK. She uh share the OK. So here is now um

08:35 lecture three. OK. So now looking for slide 61. Uh Is

08:52 the one? OK. So um , uh sure I ask,

09:01 I think everybody can see this. . Yeah, everybody can see

09:06 So, um uh now, so uh start at the beginning. Uh

09:14 had an equation. We have uh uh uh let me just back up

09:19 slide. OK. So if the medium is uniform, we have the

09:28 equation. Uh can everybody see my here? OK. So uh that

09:35 uh uh everything is in there that all uh uh uh uh this is

09:41 , the particle displacement and that's uh particle displacement resulting from all arrivals depend

09:49 uh uh uh direct arrivals, reflected . Uh um uh ground roll,

09:56 is in there. OK. So uh uh key waves and she

10:02 everything is in there. So so the next step we're uh we're

10:06 go to uh uh uh uh the by uh uh Mr Helmholz German physicist

10:16 in the 19th century. And uh , he proved to us that for

10:23 we have um uh a vector quantity the displacement, which is defined everywhere

10:31 space and time, then we can divide that into a part which has

10:37 curl and a part that has zero . So we call this the curl

10:42 part and the divergence free part. so, uh now the question,

10:47 , what uh uh Lily is asking why do we call this thing

10:52 the curl free part, why do call that the P wave part?

10:57 the, the reason is that uh that's sort of a, I think

11:00 a pretty good English description of the A P wave goes through uh a

11:08 as it goes through, it's squeezing rock back and forth. It's not

11:12 the rock at all. So that's we say it's curl free. Maybe

11:16 should have said twist free. But mathematicians have the word curl for uh

11:23 a particular operation um um of, vector calculus. Uh So, uh

11:31 a, a certain combination of derivative we're, we're gonna go back and

11:37 that in a second. And uh it's a pretty good English word

11:41 say that uh that uh that, combination of uh of uh derivatives uh

11:51 that uh the uh the, the field like displacement has zero curl.

12:00 in the same way, the other has zero divergence. And uh when

12:04 think about as a sheer wave goes a rock, it's twisting the rock

12:09 it's not uh uh squeezing it and unsqueeze it. So it has

12:13 convergence and it has no divergence. . So the divergence uh part is

12:19 uh is a part where the divergence this part here is zero. So

12:25 re uh let's uh review uh shortly we mean by the curl of a

12:32 field and the divergence of a vector . OK. So, uh I

12:38 these are good English names, you , taken from the German names.

12:42 are good uh uh English names for the portions of this total displacement field

12:49 are due to P waves and to waves. OK. So now I'm

12:53 go back uh uh I'm gonna go uh back here. Uh So I

13:05 uh you, I, I think not sharing anything now. Is that

13:10 ? Yeah. Not, not sharing now. So I'm going to uh

13:14 to the powerpoint and I'm gonna find ? Yeah. OK. So now

13:30 gonna share again, I share my again. And so OK. So

13:45 think you can see this now, is the entry screen for the math

13:50 F. So let's find in Uh Let's see. Uh So this

13:57 the, the fourth topic is uh calculus. So I'm going to find

14:04 in the file. And uh so can see right here, that's the

14:09 topic and that it would all get calculus right here. OK. So

14:20 , let's uh see. So we uh uh uh oh, good,

14:27 . Thank you your time. Just second here. OK. We define

14:41 vector and it's a vector operator and has uh uh three components of 12

14:49 three. And each component is this derivative with a corresponding partial derivative with

14:56 to X of I. And so vector looks kind of funny, isn't

15:01 ? And it has no meaning. when it uh when it operates on

15:06 vector, uh uh then it has meeting. So we're gonna go to

15:10 next slide. OK. So this the second slide in this uh uh

15:19 . So if this vector operator del this delt, if it's applied,

15:25 it operates on a scalar, then uh uh uh uh the resulting quantity

15:33 called the gradient and that's a So you can see here that this

15:39 we just defined back here, you verify this for yourself. So uh

15:44 operate uh that on a scale, got three components. Each one of

15:48 is uh uh uh a partial derivative respect to the corresponding uh position

15:57 And we have five is in. that's, this is a spelling out

16:03 this means Dell operating on five. . No, it also says that

16:12 can be applied to a vector and uh Adele applies to a vector.

16:17 so you see that same operator partial spec X I uh uh operating uh

16:24 this vector U I. And now see that the I is repeated,

16:28 uh it's uh twice. So this , this is a sum I equals

16:33 to 3 du ID X one plus I uh uh du two D uh

16:41 two, et cetera. And of , you see how that's different back

16:45 , we made a vector. And uh uh Ooo over here, we're

16:52 um uh a scaler by summing up three derivatives. And how did that

16:58 ? Because we're operating with Dell on vector. Whereas back here we operated

17:04 Dell on a Scaler. OK. , there's another way that Dell can

17:11 on a vector. And here is uh that other uh way this is

17:18 the curl operation. So we have cross U makes a vector. And

17:24 are the definitions of the vector. you see that's a lot more complicated

17:29 this one. And let me see , what do we have next?

17:34 , next to you uh uh uh goes on to. So this is

17:40 for now that we can uh uh this is the operation of uh of

17:46 and uh going back to Helmholtz, that Helmholtz said that there was,

17:51 was a uh uh any vector field can be divided into a part,

17:57 part where divergence of U is zero another part curl of U is

18:03 And so the, and the part is divergence of 0 to 0,

18:07 the uh uh the shear wave and uh part with the curl is zero

18:14 the P wave. So does that your question? Really of?

18:21 So that's sort of a review And, and uh so um let

18:28 uh get out of this and go to uh the email. OK.

18:44 . So here's another question from le slide 114. Does the reciprocity of

18:51 of elasticity have the condition that the is elastic? Um OK. Uh

19:01 So then she's got some more These are really good questions,

19:04 OK. So uh can everybody see ? I don't think so.

19:12 No. Yeah, no, nobody can see it. So hold

19:15 . Uh I, I share this for there were money. OK.

19:25 this is my email inbox and this um uh from a late, so

19:31 talking about the slide 114. I this is um uh I forgot which

19:39 uh I think this is the E election. So she says, does

19:44 reciprocity theorem of elasticity have the condition the medium is elastic. And of

19:50 , that the answer is yes. uh When we uh we didn't derive

19:55 uh uh theorem of elastic, the theorem. But um because it has

20:01 name elasticity in there, the, answer to this question is yes.

20:05 uh But now here comes the really question actually are all the rock property

20:12 elastic. OK. So the answer that is no, in fact,

20:20 of the rocks in the subsurface are , none of them. Why is

20:27 ? Because Mr Hook in the 17th defined elasticity for homogeneous materials, you

20:35 , like uh uh copper and like and like iron and rocks are not

20:43 that, right? Uh rocks are rocks have grains and pores and who

20:48 what else. And uh uh so its face, none of the rocks

20:54 the subsurface are elastic. What a . So you should be asking yourself

21:01 then are we studying elasticity? And know that all of your professors and

21:07 of your previous courses assume that the of the, of the uh subservient

21:13 elastic. Well, so uh Mr would have been mystified. He would

21:19 said, well, uh uh uh they're not elastic, they are

21:24 , they have grains and they got and then the pores may be

21:28 maybe oil, maybe liquid and the are gonna have a different pressure on

21:32 than the grains, right? And grains are gonna be different kinds of

21:37 . There's gonna be grains of quartz grains of, of calcite and everything

21:41 . Everything is heterogeneous on the grain on a rock. So Hook would

21:48 said, well, no, of not that my theory doesn't apply

21:52 Ok. So we are going to those issues later in the course.

21:59 we're gonna find out that everything we about elasticity is gonna be replaced by

22:06 more complete theory due to a guy Beau starting in 1941. And he

22:16 about all the complications that arise because are heterogeneous, lots of complications.

22:26 , here's the good news uh uh in uh um in a certain approximation

22:32 we'll get to at that time, uh the results of coral elasticity are

22:40 same as the results of elasticity only certain small changes. You know,

22:48 example, we're gonna find out that later in the lecture, we're gonna

22:52 later in the course, we're gonna out that according to the uh uh

22:58 the theory of chal eas, uh rocks have uh properties which depend upon

23:07 average composition of the rock. Uh But here's a complication. It

23:13 not only on the average um position also on the details of the micro

23:21 . So it makes a difference. example, if um uh if the

23:26 are round or if the pores are , same porosity, you can imagine

23:32 case where uh uh different kinds of different uh details of micro geometry.

23:41 so beau explained to us that under circumstances, the properties of the rock

23:50 be uh uh defined uh using the of elasticity. But recognizing that the

23:57 are heterogeneous and we gotta be talking average composition and uh average uh micro

24:06 uh you know, a a and average pressure, just think about

24:10 Uh uh you know that uh uh , you know that the rocks in

24:19 subsurface are not, are under high , but most of the pressure from

24:23 overburden is carried by their brains and uh pressure in the fluids is

24:34 maybe a lot less or maybe only little bit less. So that's a

24:38 issue for us in the oil and business is to deal with the fact

24:43 I subsurface pore pressure. Yeah. those are all advanced topics which we

24:50 not gonna concern ourselves with. uh we are learning about elasticity knowing

24:58 we made all kinds of, of approximations which are obviously not true and

25:05 smart to be questioning those. I'm you're questioning those. Uh uh But

25:11 uh because you're here at the University Houston, we are gonna go on

25:16 teach you about some of the uh realistic assumptions that is by the end

25:23 this course, we will have um on a lot of, of the

25:30 of the sim simplifications that we're uh, right now. So,

25:34 now I'm teaching you something which, , uh uh Robert Hook would not

25:39 surprised to see what I'm teaching her about uh uh uh divergence free and

25:45 free and so on. Uh um uh those ideas came from Helmholz

25:52 lived, uh hundreds of years after . But the Foot Corp listening in

25:57 lecture, if he were uh listening Zoom, he would have said

26:01 Yeah. II, I believe that came along after I died. That

26:05 hum. And he showed that and , that probably makes sense. He

26:10 book would probably be thinking, I'd like to see a proof but

26:13 , he could see that uh that makes sense and he would be

26:18 he would be 100% with the program till now. OK. Now you

26:24 another question. If one side has gas reservoir or, or there is

26:31 isotropy exiting. Does the reciprocity theorem ? OK. So um now I'm

26:38 sure what you mean here. You one side or one side of what

26:52 uh you, you need to speak a lot more loudly. That is

26:58 we have OK. What's on the side? The seal side? And

27:04 ? OK. So uh uh so you all uh uh di in what

27:10 uh is uh asking now is a case where we have a reflection off

27:17 uh the top of a reservoir and one side, there's a gas and

27:22 uh maybe anisotropy on the other OK. So now these questions are

27:29 because you're um you're talking about uh sides, right? You're talking uh

27:34 the reciprocity theorem only applies to a body, right? So, and

27:40 re reciprocity there, there's no one , there's no the other side.

27:45 I can tell you that the reciprocity applies if that single uniform body is

27:54 . Yeah, we, we the, the reciprocity theorem does not

27:59 uh isotropy and it, it doesn't P waves or sheer waves anything.

28:05 uh suppose uh uh uh uh uh inside a body uh uh uh remember

28:12 ellipse that we had where we talked the rest of the price. So

28:16 inside that body um uh uh where it bounced off of the inside of

28:22 , of the uh ellipse that some it got converted to shear waves,

28:27 know, that happens at a, , in reflection P wave hits on

28:32 uh um uh interface and uh uh of the reflected energy uh is turned

28:40 she waves. So uh uh that's , that kind of mode conversion is

28:47 in the um um um and the it there. And uh so uh

28:59 why I told you the reciprocity theorem is very deep there and uh uh

29:05 hardly any limitations to it. And , when that uh um when,

29:15 that uh puzzle was posed in the , it was now 30 years

29:21 Uh It caused a lot of it caused a lot of discussion and

29:26 lot of people uh uh uh uh more uh were educated during, by

29:33 discussion because uh the theorem uh uh hardly any limiting assumptions to it.

29:41 , the main, the main limiting is that it's uh elastic, like

29:46 said, a on the first. the rest of process works for

29:54 OK. Now, II I, think we didn't, we didn't talk

30:01 this before, but the reciprocity thera a, is more complicated than you

30:12 know. Uh If you, if if you're thinking that the reciprocity there

30:18 the following interchange source and receiver and get the same signal that's a special

30:26 . And so uh we will talk about the rest of the later.

30:32 . So thanks for those questions. now I'm gonna scroll down here.

30:43 a question from um I'm saying that says, I hope I can answer

30:51 myself these questions before Friday and we'll new and different questions by Friday.

30:58 . OK. Now, look at , uh she has the same question

31:02 uh that Lee Lee had, I I did not do a very good

31:07 of uh of uh of uh explaining point for. So that's why I

31:13 like to come back. Uh the day and talk about it.

31:18 Uh So uh uh uh Rosa, you, are you happy with

31:22 Uh uh question now? Yes, , I am. Thank you.

31:27 question she says is for migrating the is the ray pa equation more convenient

31:32 use than the wave equation. So the answer to that depends upon the

31:38 the uh the migration algorithm that we . And so um uh uh when

31:46 left uh uh as you know, used to work for Amaco and then

31:51 BP. And I retired many years when I left BP in 2000 and

32:00 and six, I left BP and retired in 2006. And I,

32:05 that time, I calculated in I looked around inside BP. At

32:11 time, we had 26 different uh to do migration, 26 different

32:19 And I'm sure they have more now some of them, they use more

32:23 others. Some of them are obsolete . But uh all of these uh

32:28 uh uh uh all, all these made different assumptions and uh you

32:34 some of them uh uh were good for uh one dimensional bodies and others

32:40 for three dimensional bodies and so Some were in it or low frequency

32:44 some are high frequency. So some them were K Kirk off migration and

32:49 of them were reverse time migration. you see all the different flavors of

32:55 which are out there. And I'm gonna go into these in any detail

33:00 all. In this course, you another course uh coming up uh in

33:04 few weeks to talk about uh uh with data. And uh that uh

33:11 will tell you about these. I it's Professor Hill, I think it's

33:15 Hill. Is that correct? So he is a real expert in

33:23 things. And so he will tell uh better than me. OK.

33:30 then uh let me stop sharing this I go back to uh so you

33:40 to back to where we were when left off on Saturday? OK.

33:53 I'm gonna uh share that. So this is where we ended up

34:13 uh uh with the uh the dix which is right here. Um And

34:20 also call this the Hyperbolic Moveon Oh I, and I want

34:25 I want to start, OK. I, I think um you say

34:39 need to, I need to uh . OK. So I'm gonna stop

34:45 and I'm gonna start sharing suspension. ? One still sharing screen one.

35:06 Swimming through it. OK. uh uh these are the assumptions that

35:20 made uh that uh Dick made ma many years ago, many years

35:26 you can see there in the lower hand corner and he did this a

35:33 time ago. You can imagine that had computers in that time, which

35:38 hardly anything compared to what we have . As a matter of fact,

35:42 don't think he had any, any whatsoever back in 1959 55. So

35:48 , he was doing this with paper pencil and he was expecting that,

35:53 , people would be implementing this with and pencil. Well, we can

35:58 a lot better these days, of . Uh, But uh we're still

36:01 uh keeping these assumptions that uh uh a one dimensional uh subsurface, you

36:10 , not true isotropic, not Um A small ray parameter. P

36:18 , uh uh so uh that is for short offsets, but for long

36:22 offsets, that's not true anymore. uh uh uh these are limitations on

36:31 formula uh which we are gonna uh upon in the next few minutes.

36:40 . So, uh of course, we, if we did have um

36:45 uh if we did have a uniform uh one D body like we assumed

36:51 , and if it had AAA velocity this, we would get the same

36:58 . Yeah. In fact, the the subs are more complicated than

37:04 Now, I um uh uh we up last time with uh I I

37:13 on this slide here where we said , we're still gonna be able to

37:19 uh this formula, the hyperbolic move equation uh uh even for the case

37:24 dipping layers and anisotropic layers, if regard the move out velocity to be

37:31 processing parameter with, which would be by looking at the data itself.

37:36 when we do that, we're gonna that normally, uh these two are

37:40 equal to each other. That was Carlo's question was um uh beginning.

37:49 , uh uh nonetheless, let us I keep that in the back of

37:55 mind that the about velocity is gonna probably gonna be different than the R

38:02 velocity. But carry on with the that Dick gave back in 1955

38:08 that was almost three quarters of a ago. That's a long time

38:14 And we're still using it today. this is what he thought, he

38:20 , uh empirically, we find out the move out velocity varies with

38:25 And so, uh you know, there's lots of, lots of reflections

38:29 lots of layers. And so here's definition of the R MS velocity at

38:34 bottom of the nth layer. So see we got AAA sum over layers

38:40 equals one to end of uh two the one way travel time. So

38:46 the two way travel time times the uh square in the square of the

38:51 velocity. And then we're dividing by uh so these are like weights,

38:58 the two way travel time is the for the um for this Irish.

39:08 I wanna make sure that you are my use of the English word

39:13 Uh, that means that uh, turn in this average has a,

39:21 a, a weighting of this And down here the sum of the

39:25 so we can repress the sum of weights as a total travel time.

39:31 that's the definition at the bottom of nth layer. So the,

39:37 the bottom of the overlying layer looks same way except it's got uh uh

39:42 got the sum only goes up to minus one. And the bottom here

39:47 the, is the to travel time to the bottom of the overlying

39:56 So then just by um uh uh by manipulating those two equations, we

40:06 find the uh the uh the, interval velocity IV I in that nth

40:14 . So uh this is the formula we had for uh the bars velocity

40:20 the bottom of the nth layer that out the, the top term leaving

40:26 other N minus one terms here. what we're doing here. And uh

40:35 so this quantity here from the previous is given by this time parameter,

40:43 way travel time to the bottom of up overlying layer times the R MS

40:51 down to the overlying layer. And you dissolve for the N solve for

40:57 parameter here, and uh B we the velocity in that nth layer.

41:02 see it, it's uh uh it's to the uh uh the travel time

41:08 the bottom of the nth layer times R MS velocity at that bottom of

41:14 layer minus the corresponding from overlying layer by uh uh uh run by

41:27 yeah, divided by uh by a total time plan. And so we

41:32 call this dick differentiation and this was course uh derived by dick a

41:39 long time ago. Now, why we want to do this? It's

41:47 we want to know all of those velocities so that we can find the

41:53 depth. So we know the travel uh directly from our workstation. And

41:59 we know the local velocities in each . So we can just add them

42:03 and find the depth. But think this, remember the question that Carlos

42:18 , he said, what happens if is not equal to VR MS,

42:24 the previous calculation to determine these these local velocity that would be

42:30 And so we would get uh we calculate the wrong depth. So we

42:36 call this a time depth miss And it's very common, very common

42:44 uh uh processing data, you calculate in this way uh or uh an

42:52 way using migration velocity. It's very that you get the wrong depth.

42:58 how do you find out that you the wrong depth? Well, you

43:01 a hole and when you get down the predicted depth. Uh uh the

43:06 uh boundary is not there. And uh that makes uh uh uh your

43:14 angry that you told him that he gonna find uh uh this reflecting boundary

43:19 uh uh 10,125 ft and it's not . So uh that's a problem for

43:28 . So we are going to uh uh understand that problem more by the

43:34 we get to the end of this now for many years. And I

43:39 many years, this was a sufficient . I would say for 50

43:45 that was a sufficient approximation. And is it that what? Because surveys

43:51 designed where the maximum offset was about to the target depth. So if

43:57 looking for um a target about 10,000 down, you make a uh the

44:04 of uh of uh maximum offset is 10,000 ft. And so with

44:13 with that limitation, this limitation uh one of the, one of

44:20 assumptions that Dix made is approximately he assumed a small ray parameter.

44:26 if you limit the maximum offset, do limit the maximum ray parameter.

44:33 about the time I came into this , we invented a VL. And

44:39 we began to extend the surveys to offsets. Why is that?

44:43 if we want to uh uh use VO uh uh the longer uh

44:50 we have the more amplitude variation with , we're gonna have and so we

44:56 to have longer offsets. Well, thing we found is that our hyperbolic

45:04 was not sufficient. I remember I the one inside Amma who discovered

45:13 And my boss said, you I've, I've sort of been wondering

45:17 that and uh congratulations, you explained us why uh the hyperbolic equation do

45:25 work for long offset because uh uh violated the, one of the assumptions

45:31 we made. And so uh what need to do uh is uh find

45:36 better approximation than the hyperbolic move out . So let me just show you

45:43 picture of that here is actual data AOL. And uh and from those

45:49 days, by the way, th is probably um um 25 years

45:54 And so here we have a time and you can, and this is

45:58 data and you can see that the has been flattened uh at uh um

46:04 for short offsets. And uh uh further off, this is not

46:13 And furthermore, uh uh can you here at, at deeper uh uh

46:19 layers, it's flatt for further offsets this, this layer is flat for

46:25 offsets, but this one begins to right about here. And furthermore,

46:30 loses the uh frequency right here. what should we do about that?

46:36 , so there was a smart uh a friend of mine uh uh

46:41 too bad. He's now deceased. uh uh uh His name was

46:46 This was a student of his and said, well, you know,

46:50 looking back at the derivation that we for the uh hyperbolic equation, we

46:56 some uh tailor approximations there. So just add another term to the tailor

47:03 approximation. Remember uh uh uh go and check about the discussion in math

47:10 about the tailor approximation. And you'll that what we did before was equivalent

47:15 assuming uh that uh uh uh uh when you have a function um um

47:25 function of, of uh here's a function. But let's talk about a

47:29 function, the square of the time talk about that as a function of

47:35 that has a value at zero offset by this. And the variation with

47:41 that we derived from uh using Taylor's to come up with the hyperbolic

47:47 Our equation was we added this term and this is a little bit different

47:52 than we had before. But you see that's exactly what we had

47:55 And so what Taylor said was if not good enough for you, you

48:01 add another term which is the has see th this term is non

48:06 let's just take that same term and it and then add another parameter

48:10 And then you can do that again again, if you want. And

48:14 uh let's just add a term like . And so what is this quantity

48:19 to star that's here is a to uh in, in terms of quantities

48:25 we've already defined uh uh uh R velocity. But look at this,

48:31 is something called R MS four. is that here is RM four.

48:37 is a, a, an average of like the R MS average,

48:41 that it involves the average of the power of velocity. Whereas when we

48:49 with the uh R MS average, an average of the square velocity.

48:58 . So uh uh this quantity obviously be computed from these right. Uh

49:04 uh uh If you take this um uh uh literally as uh dix

49:12 you can uh uh decide what are these in these interval velocities in the

49:18 all the way down from the top the bottom. And then you can

49:22 uh calculate this quantity using those same . It's obviously gonna be a different

49:29 when you end up. Uh oh the way, this is the fourth

49:32 just like this is the second power RMX because you can see it,

49:37 has the dimensions of velocity squared. this one has dimensions of velocity of

49:42 . So this is the fourth And if we want to know what

49:45 RM four by itself, we just the fourth the of the inverse fourth

49:51 of this. No. Now, this seemed like a very good

50:03 Uh I just recognize that we might , I see here. Sorry,

50:09 should have, you should have interrupted . Uh uh uh There's my leisure

50:18 . OK. So, so you see this, uh uh this

50:23 RM four appears in the expression for to star, which is in

50:27 And you can see the weak and principle calculate this from quantities already known

50:34 we just go ahead and do the . But it's gonna be subject to

50:40 assumptions that we already made. And those assumptions were wrong, maybe this

50:46 the wrong thing to do. But uh this is what um uh Tanner

50:52 . So now, uh it seemed a good idea but um uh what

50:57 means is look at it carefully, is at, at, at large

51:04 . This means that the square of increases according to the fourth power of

51:09 which is not physically reasonable. Uh uh uh at large RS of

51:15 this term is gonna dominate uh this because this has X to the fourth

51:20 there. And so we're gonna have squared increasing to the fourth power off

51:25 . So that's not what we But so in 1995 a colleague and

51:35 owes this modification of the Tanner and uh uh algorithm, we said,

51:42 just uh use our physical intuition and without appealing to um to uh Taylor

51:49 all, we're just gonna add a in here, add a chart and

51:55 gonna be one plus a term which as the square of offset. And

52:01 gonna be choosing a so that we have so that we get the correct

52:06 long offsets. And uh uh we very proud of ourselves for this.

52:11 uh You, I'll show you what , uh we did uh at large

52:16 uh this uh uh becomes this. um uh why is that at large

52:29 , this term dominates the one. so uh uh X squared takes away

52:35 of these X's here. And so left with X squared again. So

52:40 , so I, so at large , we, we do get square

52:46 increasing with a square of offsets but a different velocity and it's not gonna

52:51 the R MS velocity, it's gonna a different velocity depending on the value

52:56 A. And so we're gonna define , in terms of the horizontal velocity

53:02 . If you put that in then at the largest uh uh

53:08 uh uh the square of time is according to the square of offsets with

53:12 horizontal velocity rather than the R MS . So, we were very proud

53:18 Marsa. So, um uh uh so we showed this to our colleagues

53:34 Amaco and they said, oh, , what is the horizontal velocity

53:39 we don't know the horizontal velocity. uh uh And so we said,

53:45 , uh let's think about that. , uh who want to derive the

53:50 velocity in the terms that we've already ? That is we already know uh

53:55 the assumptions that dick made, we all the layer thicknesses and all the

54:00 uh uh all the local velocities. so previously, we had found these

54:07 exact expressions, these are before, we made um uh any tail expansion

54:15 , you go back and uh uh , let's see here. Oh

54:21 Uh If, if we were doing with an SCG version of this

54:26 we would just click on this uh link here and it would take us

54:30 a few slides. You'll have to back yourself in the files and find

54:36 we started with these two exact And uh uh then at that

54:43 we found the limiting solutions here for and Great Proctor. Now we're gonna

54:48 uh seek the limiting solutions at right Proctor. So we're gonna define

54:55 uh uh the horizontal velocity as the of offset divided by time in the

55:02 where the angle approaches 90 degrees. putting in uh all these uh uh

55:10 the uh for uh the offset and the arrival time, the expressions that

55:16 found before. Uh we can uh see what we do. Oh

55:23 we uh we substituted for the ray that this is the definition of the

55:34 part stuck that right in there. uh then we used Lopes rule,

55:42 know. So first let me uh you the name of the Lopes

55:49 That's a French name. And it looks if you were, if

55:53 were an English name, you would hospital. But in French that's pronounced

55:59 and the man's name is loyal with an L and um oh quotation mark

56:10 . So, uh let me ask uh the class uh Lily, do

56:15 , do you know lo pal's OK. Uh So uh uh a

56:22 already uh uh I'm uh given the that some of the class doesn't know

56:32 loyal. So I think I, we're a bit behind schedule right

56:38 I, I don't want to um back to math 101. But if

56:43 , after class you go back to 101 and you'll or maybe to the

56:49 . Yeah, go to the glossary you will find under the L's parts

56:53 , of the glossary, you'll find and loyal is uh uh uh uh

57:04 uh local rule is AAA way for to deal with a situation where you

57:11 zero divided by zero. So uh here in, in this formula at

57:18 near to uh uh 90 degrees cosine is near to zero. So we

57:27 uh uh we have zero here. in the numerator and the denominator.

57:33 uh so we have infinity here, we have another infinity here. So

57:39 is infinity divided by infinity? so uh that's the problem that was

57:44 by loyal in the 19th century. you will see the answer given there

57:50 the glossary and using loyal though, able to, to convert this thing

57:57 this. And you can see here this is the average value of the

58:03 uh uh uh uh this is the value uh uh of the local

58:10 It, it differs from the R uh uh average. So this is

58:15 a of meric average and that is horizontal velocity. So I'm gonna leave

58:20 to you all to uh go back , and uh and, and uh

58:25 go back to uh the glossary and loyals rule and you'll then convert this

58:33 , which is pretty messy, I say to this expression, which is

58:37 simple. And then you'll recognize that is simply the arithmetic average velocity.

58:49 now uh the uh the ab we'll this the abnormal move out equation.

58:55 uh uh uh when we had the move out equation, that's often called

58:59 normal move out equation. So we're call this the abnormal move equation.

59:05 means not normal. And so uh it is and everything is specified.

59:12 uh so, oh you can uh uh you can calculate everything in here

59:23 uh by observing how the R MS changes with depth. So,

59:31 it is common to regard a to as empirically determined, just like we

59:37 the NMO velocity. See right back , we had the R MS velocity

59:42 , and now we have the no here and we're gonna empirically determine another

59:47 a of star. And I can you it's gonna be different. Now

60:02 these corrections, the move out can flattened out to longer offsets. And

60:07 practice, it is frequently asserted that calculate coefficient A on previous rate is

60:13 sufficient to flatten, gather it very out ie not as far out as

60:18 a ratio of two. When you to maximum offsets as far as two

60:24 the target depth, you um uh previous expression does not work. And

60:31 what we're gonna need in uh in case is anti oxen. So that's

60:37 than 10. So let's have a . Uh li li is this statement

60:47 or false? You think it's Let's read it carefully for a single

60:54 D isotropic layer but not. Uh , you know, I if you

61:05 back and, and uh look at um uh at the discussion and you'll

61:10 that in that case where it's a single one B isotopic layer,

61:15 It's simply the uh the hyperbolic moveon is simply a statement of the Pythagorean

61:22 from plane geometry. So that would true. Um So uh Carlos it

61:36 the Hyperbolic move out equation is an based on the assumption that the rays

61:42 straight. Is this true or I think that is true. Professor

61:48 . Uh uh This is a AAA question. It can be thought of

61:52 way except that that's not how we it. We did not derive it

61:58 that the rays are straight because we the rays are not straight. Uh

62:02 We assume that uh using the assumptions uh you know, one day isotropic

62:08 and small ray parameter. And so is that um statement of assumptions was

62:15 explicitly about five or 10 slides So this statement is wrong.

62:23 Mhm uh So versa. Is this ? I think this is not

62:37 Uh uh So uh I think that Carlos answering. So, what did

62:41 say Carlos? Yeah, they say not, it's not connected right

62:45 I don't know why but I yeah, we were, we were

62:48 that this is false most of the . Yeah. Th this is

62:53 Uh uh But many times uh you might find uh some cases where

62:58 true, but usually you're gonna find it's false. OK. So uh

63:07 Rosa uh can you hear me? that? Yes, Rosa. Can

63:13 hear me? Yeah. Uh are you um she, she's not

63:20 ? She's not online. Oh She's online. Ok. So I had

63:25 . Uh OK. So uh we'll turn to um uh Lily.

63:29 So uh uh what it says here the abnormal neuro equation uh in,

63:35 quotes. Oops, let me get um pointer. I don't know how

63:40 lose this pointer. Give me a . Yeah. Yeah, we say

63:51 back online right now. Oh welcome back. Uh uh Thank

63:57 Sorry. Something with my connection. . Uh So you're just in

64:01 So this question is for you. uh It says uh the abnormal move

64:07 equation, true or false is just second order tailor expansion in X

64:13 So it could be called the fourth move out equation. Is this true

64:17 false? Uh I am not sure true. Well, remember what we

64:31 about. I remember I showed the of uh uh a tanner with a

64:35 in his mouth. Uh So, so that um uh that slide showed

64:43 uh 1/4 order uh move out That was what he posed, but

64:48 not very good, it's not physically . And, and instead of better

64:53 uh uh uh a better um uh uh was given by uh Twin and

65:01 . And that's what we call the liard equation. And it differs from

65:06 second order Taylor expansion uh by having , a physically motivated correction term in

65:13 denominator of the final term. And that was what corrected the uh the

65:21 the travel times that far off sets to have the correct functional form.

65:27 because of that, because of that physically motivated correction factor, uh that

65:37 is not just a second order tailor . So the answer to this one

65:42 not as false. OK. Uh to you Lily. So uh it

65:55 has a better approximation. The abnormal out equation has from each vertical travel

66:01 T zero. It has um uh empirical parameter, 23 or a three

66:09 quantities calculated from these. Uh So le let's go these uh one at

66:16 time. Um uh As a matter fact, what I'm gonna do is

66:20 gonna uh put Lee Lee on the for uh uh for A and I'm

66:26 go to Carlos for, on the for B and I'm gonna go to

66:31 on the spot for C. Lili uh does it have one empirical

66:37 plus quantities calculators from this? So think it's three? OK. So

66:45 , so you, you jump to right uh uh to the right answer

66:49 uh right away. So uh guess Carlos you're off the hook, guess

66:55 ? You're off the hook, you Lili a cup of coffee. Uh

66:58 time you see her because she answered your behalf. OK. Well done

67:05 . So now, um so you that what we've been looking at is

67:13 the simplest of all possible problems. so now we wanna look at uh

67:18 some complications that can arise. And let's look at interfering ways.

67:25 so as we learned before, when have the sum of two solutions,

67:29 also a solution. So for for the scalar wave equation, if

67:35 have this for uh one solution would one. And if P two is

67:40 a solution, then the sun is a solution. And what this means

67:45 that um uh you can, that you can have many solutions uh a

67:53 synthesis thou thousands of times like that the, as um described by Mr

68:01 . And they have gonna have different and frequencies that is still a

68:08 Now, since any solution of the equation can be separated into those

68:14 these can be a uh uh a separately. And what that means is

68:20 intersecting waves which have different sources, wave vectors, et cetera, et

68:25 simply superpose then pass on without So I have a, a cartoon

68:33 . So uh uh look at this uh with uh uh uh uh

68:39 this wave going down and this way coming up at the first time here

68:47 the, at the, at the time this wave has gone down,

68:51 wave has gone up at the next uh that continues and you see at

68:57 point they begin to overlap, begin overlap. And at this time,

69:04 peak, the ongoing peak exactly is at the same time as this upcoming

69:09 . And guess what? It made single peak with twice the amplitude.

69:15 then this wave here which is going , continues up and this wave here

69:21 was going down, continues down They are. And you see at

69:26 more time steps they have separated. , so uh this is what happens

69:33 when the two waves are passing each , when the polarities are the same

69:39 similar, see right there, the amplitudes add together. And by the

69:49 , you see that, that uh trough is uh uh uh uh uh

69:54 is a trailing trough and this is leading trough. This difference in time

69:59 the same as this difference in time . So these two waves simply add

70:05 making this single um uh this single with twice the amplitude. Now what

70:15 if the amplitudes are opposite? So one going down is the same,

70:21 , this one going up as a um clarity, you see the peak

70:28 a negative peak, whereas up here the peak was a positive peak.

70:32 the same thing happens, they get and closer and guess what at at

70:38 they are exactly on top of each , they exactly cancel out. So

70:44 looks like nothing is happening. But course, inside here, uh the

70:49 atoms are still moving the uh the and so after the um uh uh

70:58 at the next time step, this false going up is still going

71:04 you see it emerges on the other without uh uh being changed. And

71:09 positive one going down that emerges on other side and they separate just like

71:15 were before. Except that now the pulse is down here and started off

71:21 here. So here the amplitudes So this happens because of the linear

71:32 of the wave equation. And it's of puzzling. I mean, when

71:36 look at this seismic gram right you say, well, there's no

71:40 present, but in fact, there's ways present which exactly cancel each other

71:45 at this point in time. But have momentum and they have the,

71:49 atoms are still moving and uh uh uh they come out the other side

71:55 that. Now, uh here's a , we have been assuming that uh

72:05 uh as we derive the wave we use Taylor's approximation several times.

72:11 in there, we assume small amplitude displacement. And so if the displacement

72:18 is uh as large, then uh I just told you is not

72:25 then there can be nonlinear effects which not included here since we uh uh

72:31 at the beginning that the strains are . So you can go back at

72:35 beginning of our uh derivation of the equation, the, the,

72:40 the waves are small, that's how got to have a linear equation.

72:47 uh all sorts of good things come of uh uh of uh linear

72:54 And that's one of them. yeah, uh uh if it's not

73:02 , if the amplitudes are large, there's all kinds of uh of,

73:07 other stuff can happen. But we're gonna discuss this uh in this course

73:13 uh our time is limited. So Carlos, this one comes to

73:19 Yes, when waves collide, they with one another, just like billiard

73:24 on a table and they conserve energy momentum in the collision. Is this

73:30 or false? They think it's true . No, no. Look at

73:36 . Look at this right here. had these two waves collide and they

73:41 , they didn't bounce off of each this way going down here and this

73:46 is going up here. They, did not bounce off of each

73:51 Um Is that so uh waves are like particles, they're not like builder

73:59 . And I can tell you that at the beginning of the last

74:03 there was a lot of discussion in physics community are are light waves waves

74:09 are they particles? And uh uh it was a tremendous um revolution in

74:21 in physics because at that time, had good proof that uh waves were

74:28 light cause waves and everybody was pleased themselves, you know, that,

74:35 was uh established by uh uh Maxwell's for electromagnetic waves. Everybody was pleased

74:42 them be themselves because they um uh them, but they had proved that

74:52 was made out of waves. By way, Isaac Newton didn't believe that

74:56 Newton thought that that uh uh light particles. You know, he was

75:02 brilliant guy, one of the, greatest uh scientists of all time and

75:07 was wrong on this point and Maxwell him uh uh wrong. And so

75:14 was very pleased with themselves except that showed in 1905 that sometimes light acts

75:23 particles. And by the 19 uh uh uh the theory was fully

75:29 of quantum mechanics where we understand that quantum mechanics, light sometimes acts like

75:36 waves and sometimes like particles on the scale on the scale of atoms.

75:45 , in our business, we're not with that tiny scale so that we

75:49 in our business, we have uh sound waves acting like waves, not

75:55 billiard balls. OK? But they , they are still conserving the

76:03 Yeah, they are conserving. that, that's, that's uh that

76:09 that, that, that is true and energy. So this comes to

76:15 Brier when waves collide they superpose back , we said they interfere but uh

76:22 they superpose with amplitudes adding together then through each other like ghosts is

76:28 True. False, true. yeah, that's true. Now,

76:33 uh uh somebody might say, they, they, they don't always

76:37 it together. Let's go back to cartoon. So here's a, here's

76:41 example where they subtracted from each But uh subtraction is just like addition

76:46 a minus sign there. So I'm , uh uh I'm gonna say that

76:51 straight. OK. This one comes you uh uh relate when waves

77:03 they superpose with phases added together, pass through each other like ghosts,

77:11 or false. Now see you, not reading the question carefully. Let's

77:16 back to the previous question. So , your question really was the same

77:20 this question number two. But here amplitudes, here it says phases.

77:27 . So, so this one is whereas this one is true. Go

77:31 over what we, how we described . The phases don't add, it's

77:36 amplitudes of that. OK. So know that all of you have been

77:42 uh in your minds as we've been about PW. But let's consider now

77:47 wa OK. So isotropic elastic uh shear waves are similar to P

77:59 for example, they have short spread and Google except they travel slower.

78:05 The shear wave velocity is given by expression um uh Instead of the P

78:10 velocity expression, remember P wave velocity we had right here an M instead

78:18 a mu and we know from previous that M is equal to a plus

78:25 thirds mu. So that's obviously a n bigger number than mu. So

78:29 waves travel faster. Here's another um case of um similarity, the shear

78:37 are polarized transversely to the wave So, so this wave vector points

78:43 the direction the wave is traveling for waves uh uh the polarization that is

78:49 displacement is pointed in the same But in for sheer waves, it's

78:54 perpendicular plan. Now inside a uniform , uniform isotropic body, it's the

79:06 for all polarization. But at a , sheer waves reflect and refract differently

79:13 on the polarization. So that's uh uh you've heard the phrases sh waves

79:23 SV waves. So uh uh there uh the, the, the H

79:29 the V referred to the polarization vector to uh uh the horizontal direction or

79:36 vertical direction. And so, uh the body uh uh without any um

79:45 , without any reflecting boundary nearby both these waves travel at the same

79:55 even though gravity is there, Gravity is always pointed out. But

79:59 these waves are traveling with velocities which depend on gravity, they depend on

80:06 . And so uh inside a uniform body, those two waves vs and

80:12 uh VSH and VSV travel with the velocity. But when they hit the

80:18 , then they interact with the boundary as it says here, And

80:24 we can say that the sheer velocity of a medium affects the P wave

80:32 amplitude at, except at normal that's kind of amazing, isn't

80:38 Here? You have a P wave in to a reflecting boundary being reflected

80:43 a P wave. And yet even the properties of the sheer waves of

80:48 boundary helped to determine the amplitudes. that amazing? And so we're gonna

80:55 more about that in lesson six. that is the secret behind a

81:04 Now, usually we try to exclude shear waves from our P wave

81:10 I'm sure that uh uh you're familiar these ideas. So in, in

81:16 , uh there are no share waves uh uh share waves can't travel through

81:20 ocean. And so we're uh we're our data on hydrophone data in the

81:25 and there are no share waves. so uh that's a clever thing to

81:29 uh in the marine environment in land . Uh uh We usually put out

81:35 geophones only. Why is that? , lots of reasons. But one

81:40 is that the sheer body waves are recorded on vertical uh geophones that is

81:48 say whatever sheer waves are coming up the subsurface nearly vertically, they're tra

81:55 polarized transversely to that upcoming he And so that means the polarization is

82:04 horizontal so that it's not gonna record much on this Radical gear film.

82:11 uh it'll report some but not uh not a lot. And furthermore,

82:17 sources are designed to maximize P wave and to minimize two wave power.

82:25 an example of that. Normally these on land, we do not use

82:30 . When I first came into this , we did use dynamite and there's

82:35 lot of, lots of reasons uh we don't use dynamite anymore. But

82:40 reason is that it's dangerous. So learned a long time ago that uh

82:46 clever thing to do is use for , for sources on land. Uh

82:53 Oh Wow. Uh We're gonna use vibrator as it says here. But

83:03 the, the, you know, the cartoon says it's a horizontal.

83:09 let's look here at the vertical So we're uh we're making P waves

83:14 vertical vibrators and that has maximum power the P wave is downwards.

83:21 we shouldn't call this a P wave because it does make shear waves.

83:25 maximum power for the sheer waves is and vertically. The sheer waves do

83:32 some power near vertical. They make power. Um um But so

83:39 that's why we shouldn't call this a wave vibrator. We should call it

83:42 vertical vibrator. And uh uh when , and that was, this was

83:54 a long time ago, uh when came for just about the same time

83:59 I came into the business in the 19 eighties. Uh uh we invented

84:04 vibrators uh to make uh um uh shear shear waves. And so the

84:11 vibrators maximize the power of the shear . Um oh uh uh down going

84:21 wave is in the vertical direction. shear wave is maximum and the P

84:27 power is maximum horizontal. You can that if you're vibrating horizontal here,

84:32 gonna be pushing a P wave out way and out this one.

84:43 Um No, why would we want have a horizontal library? Um The

84:58 we wanna have a horizontal vibrator is maybe we maybe uh you know,

85:04 had all these good reasons for minimizing wave in our data and those are

85:12 good reads. And sure enough, use those most of the time,

85:17 there might be other case, other where we actually might want to maximize

85:23 share waves. And so that's why invented horizontal library. And that was

85:28 by a company. Uh uh It , it was done by uh Conco

85:34 called Conocophillips. About the time that I came into this business now that

85:44 use more techniques for excluding she uh energy of uh from our P wave

85:52 . For example, in processing, gonna get sheer waves on our vertical

86:01 fault created by our, our uh vibrators. Anyway. And most of

86:09 uh shear waves arrivals are surface waves called ground wall. And it's traveling

86:15 horizontally parallel to the surface and vibrating . So those um uh uh those

86:26 are gonna be strongly uh recorded on uh instruments. And so we wanna

86:33 rid of those. And so uh do we do those? Uh we

86:38 uh use a technique called FK filtering I think we're gonna talk about,

86:42 think the professor Joe is gonna talk you about FK filtering. And then

86:47 way is to uh uh to stack we filter these out, we're gonna

86:54 and migrate with P wave velocities. so that means we're gonna make

86:59 the P wave arrivals reinforce each other the sheer wave arrivals cancel each other

87:05 by these techniques. OK. um before we leave this topic of

87:17 waves, I wanna say for anisotropic , there are many new shear wave

87:29 . No, it says all rocks are an I should drop. And

87:33 most of our data is P wave , there is no point in discussing

87:38 shear waves further, we're gonna talk an isotropic shear waves in less than

87:49 . OK. So that's all we're say about sheer waves at this

87:55 So uh coming to you uh Carlos is this true or false sheer waves

88:03 the scalar wave equation with this sheer velocity. Is that true or

88:09 That is true for us? now think about that um uh of

88:19 scalar wave equation uh was in a equation and the scalar phi and it

88:26 say anything about polarization. Mhm So would say this is false because it

88:36 the vector wave equation with this Yeah. So if you go back

88:43 look at at um oh uh what , how we derive uh the vector

88:49 equation for shear waves, you'll see a, it's an equation with

88:53 not the scale. So uh So uh this is a good time

88:59 me to remind you all that when doing the final exam, you have

89:04 have plenty of time. So you look at this uh uh If you

89:08 this question, a question like this the final exam, you should

89:11 oh I think I know the But let me go, let me

89:15 back and see what, how we the v the, the wave equation

89:20 sheer velocities for sheer waves. And see that it's a vector wave

89:25 So you immediately know this one is . OK. So, uh for

89:32 bead, is this true or You have a P vibrator. Uh

89:38 it does not generate share ways, or false, it's false.

89:42 it's false. Uh uh We talked that explicitly. Uh uh it generates

89:47 P waves, also share ways. uh um uh so uh because it's

89:53 vertical mark, that's a better way describe it. OK. I shall

90:02 , says inside an isotropic formation. waves propagate just like sh waves except

90:10 the difference in polarization. Is this or false? You say false?

90:17 what are uh uh tell me what's about this? What that uh

90:30 So uh it says except for the . So except for that polarization

90:37 what we said before is they have same velocity. Yeah. So this

90:42 be true. OK. So we've done P waves and we've done

90:51 waves. Now, we're gonna combine to do converter waves. So we're

90:57 learn in lesson six that when we uh a reflecting horizon, we're gonna

91:04 converted waves. Here's an incoming P and we have a reflected P wave

91:10 a reflected shear wave and a transmitted uh P wave and a transmitted shear

91:17 . So these sheer waves coming out a reflecting horizon uh uh happen uh

91:29 at uh a boundary between um elastic . If it's uh of course,

91:36 it's a boundary between two fluids, there's no share waves at all.

91:40 if there's ela elastic, if there's mediator or, or rocks, we're

91:45 get conversions here. And it's a thing if we have an incoming SG

91:51 . But this is uh the, , the normal situation here, incoming

91:56 wave, outgoing four waves here. we've gotta have conversion of a conservation

92:05 energy going, we can't have any being left behind. So that means

92:12 uh that uh uh we, we to, we have to get,

92:19 have to get the energy for these she waves from that reflected P wave

92:25 the reflected transmitted P wave. So why the P wave A O has

92:32 shear modulus in the reflectivity. where do we use these converter

92:42 Uh uh They're uh important in two . One is ocean bottom seismic and

92:48 is sheer wave logging. OK. , um first let's talk about ocean

92:55 seism. So here's a cartoon of of an ocean bottom seismometer sitting on

93:01 sea floor. And we're gonna have conventional source up here at the

93:06 And we're gonna be uh we wanna an image of this reflector down

93:12 So only gonna be able to make waves coming out of this source.

93:18 here's the P wave coming down reflecting back up to the receiver. And

93:24 can see the receiver has three vector and one hydrophone component. So it's

93:30 a four component receiver. So there's more thing that happens here. Some

93:36 the energy that comes with this reflection past the sea floor up to the

93:42 surface reflects back down and hits the again with a, a two day

93:49 , a two way delay coming from month. So that's why we have

93:57 uh uh the hydrophone in here. by uh by being clever, we

94:04 combine the data from uh the hydrophil from this vertical com uh vertical component

94:11 the GEO O to eliminate this water multiple. So we don't get interference

94:19 the multiple and the primer. So uh that's a topic outside of the

94:26 this course. But you can see in principle, we do wanna get

94:31 of one or the other and normally want to get rid of the water

94:36 multiple of the water, the surface and leave only the primary. The

94:43 we do that is by a certain uh combination of the hydrophone and the

94:49 geophones. But there's something else that here. Some of this energy is

94:56 be converted to shear wave energy come here and it's gonna come back

95:02 Um uh uh uh polar is transversely this upcoming shear wave. So it's

95:09 register on mostly on the two horizontal and then they, they might not

95:17 aligned um uh in the, in uh plan of the figure like

95:22 But uh you can see that they're both be, that's why we need

95:26 of them so that we can uh all the upcoming shear wave energy.

95:32 , there is another conversion mode which here when the uh uh uh the

95:41 happens at the reflecting horizon, not the sea floor. And it turns

95:48 that this one usually is much more than this one for reasons involving rock

95:55 , this conversion is usually we and one is strong. And so we

96:02 conventionally call this one converted at the , we call that the sea

96:11 So uh this has been known uh for a long time. And so

96:16 AAA cartoon picture of that situation isotropic layer, uh flat reflector down here

96:25 show here, a B wave reflecting the midpoint and a sea wave reflecting

96:32 here at what's called the conversion So this previous reflecting point is reflecting

96:42 the midpoint. That's a geometrical That's just geometry. It's, it's

96:48 one half. But over here, conversion point is determined by Snell's

96:55 And Snell's Law works to make sure here's Snell's Law uh uh uh shown

97:01 this way, the sign of this angle divined by the sign of the

97:07 angle is equal to the ratio of velocities. So this conversion point

97:17 the uh the, the conversion which gonna be received here at X.

97:22 gonna happen at X of C following Law. And you see this is

97:27 physical argument, not a geometrical Uh So it's gonna make things

97:39 It means that in order to even where this thing is uh oh

97:47 we have to know the velocities or least we have to know the velocity

97:52 . Whereas to do a P wave for the P wave, we,

97:56 don't, uh we're gonna say this converts at uh this reflects at the

98:03 . And we don't need need to the velocity the P wave velocity to

98:07 that we can just say, of , it's gonna be reflecting at the

98:12 . So this is a more complicated . OK. So when you work

98:19 the implications of this, what you is that the image point offset varies

98:26 the depth of the reflector. So a uh a simple situation where the

98:31 velocity and the sheer velocity everything is with depth. And uh um here

98:38 have uh a source and receiver and midpoint is here, all the P

98:42 are gonna be uh uh P waves off of any one of these layers

98:47 gonna be reflecting here at the But for this event here, which

98:52 converting at this layer here, um that's gonna be converted uh here and

99:02 up to the receiver. And if trace out all of the uh um

99:06 conversion points all the way down, gonna follow this black curve here.

99:12 so you can see that at large , it converges asymptotically to this point

99:20 , which we call the asymptotic conversion , asymptotic conversion point. And so

99:27 is uh uh done uh non So this means either great depths or

99:34 shallow times, either a great depth Charlton. Uh So, because of

99:45 variation of the, so the, , the conversion point is gonna be

99:50 at for every one of these layers here. And so you can't sort

99:57 traces into a common uh uh uh can't do what you do with P

100:10 for P waves. If you want have a, a AAA common reflection

100:15 gather, it's the same as a midpoint gather. But for converter

100:19 you can't do that with a simple operations. You have to know both

100:25 throughout the overburden. And in order calculate a common conversion point gap,

100:35 normally to do these to determine these , you need to have a common

100:41 part gather. So you need to this gather to get the velocities and

100:46 have to have the velocities to get . So you have to do an

100:50 workflow. It's complicated. So, uh I'm, I'm thinking that uh

100:58 know, at this point, none you students. And I'm thinking you

101:03 also uh uh you never worked with wave data. Is that correct?

101:09 . So uh uh you can see here that it's uh a lot more

101:14 than P wave data. And so have to have a good reason to

101:18 it. You wouldn't uh you uh you, you wouldn't do

101:22 In most cases, in most you want to, you know,

101:26 the converted waves in the same way we suppress sheer waves. Uh So

101:31 wanna concentrate on P waves. But , in other, in uh some

101:36 , you actually want to look at converter waves uh especially and uh we'll

101:42 some uh cases like that during this . Yeah. No, I want

101:54 return to this and I want to uh to talk about this asymptotic conversion

102:06 . There's a simple formula. So define some notation, let's have the

102:12 of the vertical velocities and we'll have ratio of move out velocity, call

102:18 gamma zero, call this gamma move ratio of vertical lo and then this

102:23 effective is defined to be the square the move out ratio divided by the

102:30 ratio. Then the asymptotic conversion point given by gamma effective, divided by

102:41 plus gamma effective. It's a simple uh with but uh to know that

102:47 have to know all these other things you don't know these when you first

102:52 begin to process the data. So have to do an iterative process for

102:59 learning how to uh uh uh uh all these things and then compute where

103:06 conversion points are happening, right? uh Just think about this, you

103:12 a source and you have a receiver you receive a converted wa where did

103:17 , where did it convert? You're imaging that part of a

103:21 where did it convert? Or you know if it's a P wave

103:26 you know, because it's at the but uh for a converter wave survey

103:30 don't know. So you got to this elaborate um uh computation to even

103:37 out what you're looking at. So about the move out velocity? So

103:48 for short offsets, the move out hyperbolic, just like we had for

103:53 waves, except that it's got the C wave move out velocity in

103:59 . And now that C wave move velocity is can be can uh it

104:04 be constructed from the P wave move velocity and the she wave move out

104:09 with these gamma functions. And remember gamma subzero is the ratio of the

104:16 of the VP to vs for vertical zero A. And the reason I'm

104:25 you this complicated formula is that you encounter even today, you might encounter

104:33 uh uh papers or references to a formula which in the different formula,

104:41 square of the C wave move out is equal to this product of P

104:46 PNML and SNML. Um uh but only true for a uniform isotropic layer

104:54 that's not true in uh in OK. Next topic is uh is

105:06 . So the the amplitude of the waves are zero for normal instance.

105:12 just think of a P wave going and converting to sheer waves coming back

105:17 . But if it's, if the wave is traveling vertically, it doesn't

105:23 whether the upcoming shear waves should be this way or polarized that way.

105:28 it doesn't do either one. It back with zero amplitude for the converted

105:33 at normal incident. It has opposite for positive and negative offsets.

105:41 if you have your uh uh uh uh can, can you see

105:46 my hand here, I've got my hand shy as a ocean bottom

105:51 receiver sitting on the sea floor and got my source over here coming down

105:55 a P wave and it's gonna, be hitting this uh uh um

106:02 it's go, it's gonna come down then come back up and it's gonna

106:07 a AAA, it's gonna have Oh it's, it's gonna be hitting

106:18 receiver like this at an angle. so it's gonna be picking the receiver

106:24 my right. Meanwhile, if uh then uh uh I shouldn't say

106:31 suppose the, the source boat keeps coming on over here, coming on

106:36 here and eventually it gets to where source boat is over here.

106:40 the key wave goes down, reflection back up and kicks the uh the

106:46 the other way. So that's what mean when I say here, it

106:50 opposite polarity for positive and negative right? This polarity reversal is a

107:01 of the scale of reciprocity there, we talked about before, which says

107:07 scale of reciprocity theorem says that interchange and receiver that leaves the data

107:13 So obviously, uh uh in, a case, like I just showed

107:16 here for opposite polarity, uh uh not true. The two side,

107:22 you have a common midpoint gather of a common conversion point gather, that's

107:28 to make. But a common midpoint is easy to make. And

107:36 uh when you, uh so, you're expecting that far up.

107:42 the two halves of that common midpoint to have opposite polarity on your workstation

107:52 . So it's common in split spread to multiply one side by minus

107:56 So they can easily stack it and it. OK. That's been understood

108:03 a long, long time. This of uh um a clarity difference on

108:09 two sides of uh of the of midpoint gather. But let me show

108:16 something else which uh uh which caused lot of uh uh puzzlement. When

108:24 first saw it, we out here a non symmetric split spread, common

108:32 gather. So this is a common gather of real data and negative raw

108:38 here and positive offsets here. And you can see that uh uh that

108:47 uh that on the left side, flat and on the right side,

108:53 not flat on over here to the of the figure we see a velocity

109:01 . And I think you all are with this. Uh Let me talk

109:05 little bit about velocity spectra here. have uh uh uh uh for all

109:12 at all velocities from very slow to fast. We stack the data with

109:19 velocity and then we compute a quantity symbols. And that's what's shown here

109:27 color. And when we compute the the, uh when we stamp the

109:32 with the wrong velocity, like I'm here with my cursor, that's the

109:37 velocity. So the uh the the L uh uh and the two

109:46 the flat and gather is really not flat. So when we stack

109:50 we get positive canceling negatives and we low semblance. But if we stack

109:56 at the right velocity, then the we calculate is a big number.

110:01 so we say this is the right for this reflector. Let me uh

110:07 a ask you uh li are you with this kind of velocity spectrum?

110:12 , Carlos, are you familiar Are you there? Are you familiar

110:20 this kind of a velocity uh spectrum ? Maybe not because you are,

110:26 are a geologist I remember. Carlos, are you there?

110:30 professor. Yeah. Are you familiar this idea of a velocity spectrum?

110:41 not uh uh uh having connection Yes, I am. Mhm

110:48 So uh uh uh Carlos uh uh let me uh uh see if I

110:54 see you again. Uh Hold Yes. Uh So uh uh Carlos

110:59 are you familiar with this idea of velocity spectrum. Yes. Yes.

111:04 , yes. OK. So uh so now that's what we've, we've

111:09 then the velocity spectrum uh uh for real data, this is an Amaco

111:14 set. And you can see that in the uh uh in the interpreter

111:19 selected uh these velocities all and that's sufficient for flattening these gather, but

111:27 on the one side all on for negative offsets for the positive offsets that

111:34 work. Yeah. And so I uh uh I should tell you that

111:43 uh uh 11 side of this has polarity reversed. Um I don't know

111:50 one but uh uh so if you at this, you say uh

111:55 so they are symmetrical as regards but they're uh they're not uh symmetrical

112:01 regards move out. Mhm Now like we said, it has zero

112:10 at normal answer. Mhm But we a big problem here that we're uh

112:21 we have not properly corrected the positive . So this was the first converted

112:29 data set that we ever looked at Amazon. And I was in charge

112:33 processing this data. And I looked that and, and I thought this

112:38 be true. The reciprocity theorem tells that for we have a common midpoint

112:45 , it's got to be symmetrical. I puzzled over it and puzzled over

112:50 . And finally, I went to colleagues who were better data processors than

112:55 and better um mi mi migration, imagers than me. And they said

113:03 true. It's got to be Uh uh uh yours is not

113:07 That's pretty obvious here, it's not . So uh uh uh you must

113:12 missed messed up your geometry somewhere in uh in the process. You go

113:17 and, and, and fix up geometry and you'll be OK. So

113:21 did that and sure enough, everything OK. So uh here are my

113:28 MFO colleague were telling me that it's to be symmetric but it's not

113:34 So uh in desperation actually read the of thera and I found out that

113:45 uh the Russia policy theorem does not that what these two uh uh halves

113:54 the common midpoint gather, it does say they should be sank.

114:01 let me before I tell you the of this um uh inconsistency is wanna

114:11 out to you over here on the spectrum. You see there's another velocity

114:15 here. The, the, the has picked this one but maybe he

114:21 have picked this slow one. So happens if we do pick the slow

114:27 ? OK. So here we picked slow one. Now the one side

114:35 uh now it's flat and the other is over fracture. OK. So

114:42 I'm gonna tell you more about the of therapy. This is what I

114:47 from actually reading it. This is statement of the reciprocity. Uh oh

114:56 we talked about this in less than . It says if you have a

115:00 A and you have a place B you take the force at a,

115:06 a vector dot product with the displacement a source from B. That vector

115:13 product is equal to um um the at B dotted with the displacement at

115:22 sourced from A. So that's where , all, all, all,

115:29 , all of this rotation means. here's the, here's the, the

115:38 of the rest of process there. is a cartoon of what we uh

115:43 we had um uh uh uh when , uh when I recorded that data

115:53 I just showed you on the one , we have uh um a source

116:02 a sending down a P wave reflecting converting here coming up as a sheer

116:15 through this anomalous. Uh We call a gas cloud. This is an

116:21 in the overburden where over geologic time has uh leaked up out of the

116:29 collected in the overburden and it slows P waves, but it doesn't slow

116:35 shear waves as this shear wave is through the uh cap the cloud of

116:41 . It's, you know, low of gas in these overburden rocks as

116:48 shear wave is going through there. doesn't care whether the gas cloud is

116:51 or not, it's not compressing the , it's sharing the gas and uh

116:57 is sharing the gas pretty much like a liquid, sharing a brine.

117:01 doesn't care um whether uh that, gas is there or not. So

117:07 comes up with a normal sheer velocity here and then recorded here. But

117:13 the other hand, if we have source at B sending a P wave

117:19 through this same ga cloud of this V wave is slowed down by

117:27 slowed down by the uh gas It converts right here. This shear

117:33 is coming up with the same velocity much as this one here because um

117:40 shear wave doesn't care whether it's gas not. So right here from this

117:45 immediately, you can see that uh uh the, that when the interchange

117:53 and receiver, these two are not be the same data set, it's

118:01 not true. The reciprocity of there uh uh as it was understood universally

118:11 we did this work or simply not . Instead, the reciprocity theorem is

118:18 by this. And this one this one does not say interchange source

118:27 receiver. You get the same uh on the same data. This is

118:33 vector dot product between these two vectors look here uh uh le let's count

118:39 on, on the left side. this is the force and A,

118:42 the force and A is given in black direction here, the data at

118:48 source from B is coming up as sheer wave, it's polarized perpendicular to

118:53 . So there's you perpendicular to uh uh uh the black vector A.

119:01 all this says is it zero equals . And the same on this side

119:06 you were zero equals zero because the is perpendicular to the force. So

119:16 converter wave data, the reciprocity theorem true, but it does not con

119:21 our data for P wave data. we have is a special case of

119:27 RS theorem in which this number uh this vector is pointed in the same

119:35 as this one. So it's uh uh it's a scalar equation, not

119:41 vector equation. And of course, arrange for the force attitude to be

119:45 same as the force amplitude over So we just cancel those out.

119:49 in that special case of uh uh application of the reciprocity of the,

119:56 have uh uh this displacement equals this displacement. But that is a ap

120:04 that's for P waves only this, was convertibles. So uh uh we

120:13 all of that in 1997 and it a sensation when we uh uh revealed

120:21 to the uh uh wider community and presented it, we got awards for

120:26 and uh and, and all that of stuff. Uh uh but it

120:30 uh it was a real eye opener a lot of people. No,

120:38 is all for isotropic rocks. For isotropic rocks. There's a wide variety

120:43 interesting new phenomena. So we uh there's little point in discussing isotropic sea

120:50 further. We're gonna go on, talk more about this in less

120:57 OK. So uh I think it's you, Mesa sorry, is this

121:05 a false conversion of wave of energy to S and RS to P happens

121:11 an, at every interface with elastic is that to our fault? It's

121:18 . Yeah, that's true. And we'll see the reasons for that

121:24 we get to less than six. So uh uh coming to you Lily

121:30 this tur false, the sea wave mark is displaced from the midpoint towards

121:35 source by an amount which depends upon velocity ratio or a false.

121:41 that's false because it's uh it's displaced the receiver. Very good. So

121:47 was a trick question change one word , and changes the answer very

121:53 OK. Uh Carlos for very long relative to the reflector depth, the

121:59 P is not a very good This is the asymptotic conversion point is

122:05 uh uh is that true or Yes, I think it's false

122:16 Well, so, and now this an example of a question which I'm

122:22 to ask you on the final exam I did not tell you the

122:29 I didn't, I definitely did not you the answer uh uh today or

122:35 . Uh, anyway, I did teach you the answer to this but

122:39 did give you what you need to . Um uh Yeah. OK.

122:48 , I gave you what you need know to answer this. Mm.

122:56 let us, uh uh you know . So let me, let me

123:01 you, I, if you got question like that on the exam,

123:04 say you'd think to yourself. I remember Professor Thompson saying anything about

123:09 So then you go back to your . And so what we're gonna do

123:14 is uh we're going to stop sharing and we're gonna go back to the

123:24 powerpoint final. Oops Yeah. Hold a second. I'm gonna go back

123:31 the powerpoint final. Um And do right. Thank you. So now

124:12 gonna come back to the ST for . So I need to present,

124:25 it first. Hold on a OK? Now I'm gonna come back

124:33 the uh OK. Mm Back to zoom session and I'm gonna share this

124:46 . Yes. OK. So you remember this slide? Mhm I

124:56 , I chose the wrong screen. , hold on a second. Let

125:00 see one second. Share the Yeah, it is. OK.

125:48 Yeah. OK. I think you see this. Now, remember this

125:54 and so uh uh the conversion points reflector depths are given by uh gonna

126:01 OK. Hold on a second. myself a pointer. OK.

126:15 So uh uh all the conversion points all the different layers are given by

126:21 black line and for great depths, asymptotic conversion point is uh uh pretty

126:28 , but at shallow depths, not good. So that's why that,

126:33 , that uh uh uh so remember picture and so now we're going to

126:43 and I think I'm just gonna page it here. OK? I can

126:47 for it. What time if I for? So, so for very

126:59 offsets relative to the person that the is not a very good approximation.

127:07 . Uh oh and hurt in Yeah, for short off offsets,

127:22 AC P is a very good approximation long offsets. It's not a very

127:26 approximation. Uh uh because of that that I just showed. So uh

127:35 you uh if you encounter something like on the final exam, it's

127:41 You go back to uh uh your back to the slides, you will

127:45 the answer every uh And so what should do of course is you should

127:51 your memory and you apply your understanding then go back and check uh because

127:59 uh you will have plenty of You're not gonna be time limited in

128:03 way. Uh uh uh uh go and check uh uh what uh is

128:09 in the in the material. So the next one I think is

128:16 versa. It says uh uh true false versa. The vector reciprocity there

128:21 not valid for C white. It true. Yeah. Uh uh Now

128:30 the scale of reciprocity theorem is not , the vector reciprocity theorem is

128:37 Oh OK. And trick question, gotta read every word carefully.

128:45 Now, so we talked a lot equations and so on. But I

128:51 that most of you are thinking in, in your minds, you're

128:57 uh uh in, in uh as thinking about wave propagation, you're thinking

129:04 , you're not solving differential equations in mind. You're thinking uh of what

129:08 call the convolutional model. And this what I mean by that a wavelet

129:14 composed of many waves, all of have seen many plane waves, all

129:19 which have a single frequency. And combine to make a waveform which is

129:24 in top these uh these waves uh on forever, right? Uh plane

129:29 oscillates forever. It gets it's combined with lots of others to make a

129:35 which is localized in time. in a uniform personal elastic medium,

129:41 all these waves all travel together. is that? It's because the wave

129:46 is linear, that preserves the wave shape only decreasing in altitude due to

129:52 spreading. So this is I'm sure is the way you all think about

129:57 uh uh um the waves traveling in the earth, whenever these waves

130:04 an elastic interface, it reflects without the shape. And so the current

130:10 uh the resulting seism gram can be down like this. Here is the

130:17 uh here, here's the data and this a is the incident amplitude,

130:25 a reflection coefficient, there's the incoming . And uh uh so that's defined

130:31 um at the source and uh then delayed in its arrival time uh uh

130:38 by uh uppercase D. This is arrival time. This is the local

130:44 within the uh the um within the . So if the wavel it extends

130:52 uh uh uh uh if it w at your um uh receiver, you

131:01 , say it's starting at, at 0.99 seconds and it's uh and,

131:09 then it has a peak and it's by uh 1.1 seconds. So

131:14 that uh that's the time here. I just spelled out to you and

131:21 is uh the arrival time at one . Now, that's for a single

131:28 . More generally, we can model s room as a sub with many

131:33 . So here's our s data, we're looking for it on the uh

131:39 uh uh on the workstation. And a complicated expression. But let me

131:45 you through this, here is the strength here, we're gonna walk through

131:51 in as sort of as a time of the downgoing upcoming way so that

131:56 have a certain source strength, it it. And that includes all kinds

132:02 complications uh involving the mechanics of the and the nonlinearity of the near source

132:10 and the interaction with the free surface all included in here, that makes

132:16 initial wavelength which propagates down and inside downward operation here, all kinds of

132:24 stuff that uh uh uh I don't talk about here, but you can

132:28 this geometric spreading transmission coefficients focusing and uh to uh because of velocity variations

132:37 the old word attenuation, all those are happening inside here and then it

132:44 and comes back up and we have such reflections. OK. And then

132:52 when it gets to the receiver, kind of some kind of a receiver

132:56 function which depends upon the mechanics inside receiver. And it also includes the

133:03 with the free surface because the receiver always at or close to the surface

133:09 then it gets in the computer and uh in the computer before you ever

133:14 the data has done something with And that, that's what you're looking

133:19 on your workstation. Oh And then course, there's noise. So that's

133:24 what I call the controversial model. an intuitive implementation seismic ray theory.

133:33 , here's what we do in our . Since the convolutions commute, we

133:38 arrange this so that all these features I just, I mentioned here uh

133:44 uh uh are come together, which uh uh um uh leads uh we

133:54 these a name and uh this is uh uh the amplitude, the resulting

133:59 where the wavelet, not the, the initial wave because the initial wave

134:04 been affected by all that stuff that . But it's a wavelet uh that

134:09 can see on your w on your uh on your workstation. And uh

134:15 gonna have an, an ample which can see and it's gonna be reflected

134:20 , it's gonna be caused by uh uh uh a reflection sequence, some

134:27 the reflectivity which we showed before. that's the same as the abbreviated form

134:33 started with before. So if you back a couple of slides, you

134:37 that this form is the same as we had before now. So let's

134:43 some questions about this from your Did we assume anywhere that the various

134:50 are well separated? So the uh wavelengths do not overlap. Did we

134:56 that Carlos you? We assume? . Yeah, I think that uh

135:08 , that I think that assumption is . Yeah. Uh Well,

135:13 when, when you, when you at your um at your data,

135:17 normally the uh uh the reflections do . And so what you want,

135:23 one of the first things you wanna is uh what we call uh uh

135:29 uh whitening the uh um uh the so that uh you are pre whitening

135:36 data so that each wavelet uh it a shorter and shorter uh in

135:45 So they don't overlap. Uh Professor Joe is gonna talk about that,

135:49 we, what we can do to separate out the various uh uh uh

135:54 arrivals. So they don't overlap. uh uh in uh my definite,

136:01 discussion just previous of the contribution we do not assume that the various

136:06 are well separated. If they're not separated, then they just overlap.

136:11 in the same way we talked about waves before they overlap and it,

136:17 can confuse you. And so that's we have wave, we have uh

136:23 processing techniques for sharpening up the various arrivals. So they uh o overlap

136:31 . Uh It's normally not true that have zero overlap. Yeah.

136:38 So brace that uh I is this only for P waves and we,

136:48 apply it mostly for B wives and I, and I didn't have

136:54 uh uh uh uh as I presented , it's for um uh yeah,

137:02 scalar waves, but it's uh uh uh pretty uh uh clear that you

137:08 generalize that to make vector waves that sheer waves and converter waves with the

137:14 uh uh basic uh uh uh And so uh I'm gonna call this

137:22 the answer to this one false. . Now, I wanna turn myself

137:28 to imaging, this course is a about wave propagation, not about

137:35 Uh Professor Joe is gonna tell you about imaging but um um I,

137:41 just want to say a few words that here. Uh uh There's a

137:46 variety of algorithms and the oldest and of these is the NMO stack and

137:52 can easily show you how that So here we have it in,

137:55 a uniform medium, we have our neuron equation. And I um uh

138:02 uh we know that this is exact a simple problem. And uh um

138:09 so we, we rearrange this, get what we can make a stretch

138:14 . So we, we uh the factor is the ratio of the uh

138:18 vertical travel time divided by the travel has moved out, that's always a

138:24 less than one. And we just all the times by this factor.

138:29 so the all the arrival times come at T zero because we multiply all

138:35 arrival times, all, all the of all the offset traces by this

138:40 , thereby flattening the gather. And why do we want to flat?

138:46 reason is that we can average the thereby reducing noise. This is called

138:53 . It's the single most effective imaging . Um So um I I I'll

139:02 you uh uh uh an example in particular, this simple procedure is

139:10 robust even though it has assumed all things and none of them are

139:18 Uh uh We still often use these . So for example, if we

139:24 many layers, the way we reflect each one of these interfaces following Snell's

139:31 , the image point is still at midpoint we found for short offsets this

139:37 uh hyperbolic Robotic Equation. Now here , I wanna to challenge your

139:46 I challenge your understanding here. We that for short offsets this hyperbolic move

139:51 equation where the RMX velocity function is by this. It's the,

139:56 it's an average of the squares of velocity. Now, I'm gonna pose

140:00 the question, why is it this spread about velocity? Why isn't it

140:08 , the uh the ari metric average of the R MS average? I

140:13 , after all, we assumed that uh uh uh these rays are going

140:22 uh uh with very short spreads. think think of, of uh not

140:27 angle, but think of a, a ray going down like this.

140:31 as it's passing by here vertically, traveling with the vertical velocity. And

140:38 it's obviously making the uh uh the a the arithmetic average here rather

140:48 the R MS average. So why it that we use the R MS

140:54 here instead of the vertebra? Can tell me why? So um this

141:06 a question that you should have asked before. This, you should have

141:12 to yourself. Uh We, we that this is only around for short

141:17 , for short spreads, all the are traveling nearly vertically. So why

141:22 we measuring the R MS velocity instead the earth metric average velocity here?

141:31 so the answer is we do not at any time, we do not

141:37 the change of arrival time with de , we measure the change of revival

141:45 with horizontal offset. We measure this and that brings in the geometry of

141:54 . And so that's why uh that's we have the uh uh uh the

142:01 neurotic equation in the limit of uh uh in the special case of a

142:06 of a single layer. Uh uh that is, is the Pythagorean

142:11 So that's why we have uh the MS velocity appearance and remembering uh that

142:18 uh in practice, we uh instead trying to calculate an RM SS

142:24 we empirically determine using our workstation we and Berkeley determined and an

142:36 Furthermore, normally we have uh uh we also determine uh uh it the

142:43 move out parameter a to stop. when we flatten the gathers and then

142:51 them all together, that does wonderful to um yeah, uh eliminate noise

143:00 to make good sub C subir Normally, if the um layers are

143:07 flat lying. That's all you Normally, you don't need reverse time

143:13 to uh image um gathers coming from line layers. You only need that

143:21 of uh complicated algorithm when the subservient is a lot more complicated.

143:31 as another example of robustness, let's a dipping reflector. So this is

143:35 common with sub service. And uh we're going to be able to

143:41 um uh uh um yeah. Uh let me not go so fast when

143:52 have this kind of a of of a dipping reflector. Uh let

143:59 have a source here and, and up dip uh uh uh event and

144:04 down dip event. And you can that the zero offset image point is

144:12 directly beneath here, it's not It's uh uh it's over here.

144:18 so uh by uh following through all uh trigonometry, which I am uh

144:25 want to um to do at the , but is discussed in the uh

144:30 the glossary. You can uh find the result of this move out is

144:37 hyperbola. And the main difference is the, the, the, the

144:42 of this hyperbole is not here directly the source, but it's offset this

144:48 . So that's the image point where mi where this hyperbola has its minimal

144:55 here. And how much is the uh offset or depends upon the depth

145:01 the reflector? And it depends upon dipping angle of the reflector. And

145:09 we uh so that this is the why we use the word migration.

145:14 say that the image point has In other words, it, it's

145:20 from the midpoint up dip and you see it right here. Now,

145:27 Professor Joe is gonna uh uh talk you about is the main thing that

145:33 do is to make images of the . And we, we can't make

145:39 images when instead we make fuzzy In other words, they're band limited

145:46 uh uh we cannot uh in include frequencies in our uh analysis. You

145:54 only include all uh uh in all frequencies. And so it's uh the

146:00 band is limited. So the image fuzzy and we want it to be

146:05 located in space or time. And so now, most of um uh

146:15 , I should say that modern imaging avoid many of the assumptions of animal

146:22 . And so they often lead better , but they do rely more strongly

146:27 your determining accurate subservient philosophies. Think that. Suppose the rocks are

146:37 then you have to determine accurate an philos. So that's a problem.

146:43 we're not gonna solve that problem Uh But we will uh you will

146:49 we will discuss that problem later in course and you'll learn uh learn a

146:54 more from uh imaging from Professor So let me summarize here, we're

147:01 late for the break. Let's summarize . Uh What we learned, we

147:06 how the wave equation has P wave and how simple plane wave solutions get

147:12 together making wavelets which are compact in . We learn how when you have

147:20 radiating from source point, they are in crucial ways and particularly the curve

147:28 how uh uh how such waves can described intuitively in terms of rays,

147:34 waves but rays which are the high of confirmation how these arrivals move out

147:41 a recording spread with hyperbolic move out short offsets, non hyperbolic move out

147:47 further offsets. And we learned how ways types superpose with one another with

147:54 another. Then we learn how a the wave equation has shoe wave solutions

148:00 converter wave solutions and how uh we think about these. And it's legitimate

148:06 us to think about these in terms what I've called the convolutional model.

148:11 for uh advanced imaging techniques, your is gonna be using uh uh wave

148:18 rather than the convolutional model. And we talked briefly about how to make

148:24 excitement image. So this is a place to stop at 330. And

148:30 let's have a break now for 15 and come back and we will talk

148:35 the next topic which is uh uh and body weights. So when I

148:49 , I finished with a mi spoken , I said the next section was

148:56 body wise, but I meant to next section is surface wives. And

149:02 uh let us then uh consider surface . No. Uh Here's a list

149:14 , of objectives for this lecture. gonna find out how the wave equation

149:25 different kinds of solutions. And there many kinds of solutions. And what

149:31 gonna be talking about here is how solutions travel along the surface of the

149:37 . No, it, I wouldn't that this would be necessarily obvious.

149:45 um the solutions we're talking about are be talking about not like body waves

149:52 happen to be traveling horizontally. these are solutions which are affected by

149:59 presence of the surface. And you know, when we talked about

150:04 uh uh the previous body wave we didn't talk about any boundary

150:10 We did talk about surf uh initial , we talked about having a source

150:14 so on how that makes radiating waves of plane waves. But we did

150:19 talk about boundary conditions now uh um the earth because our receivers are always

150:27 or near the surface. Uh uh We, that there is um uh

150:34 boundary to the problem and we need uh consider how that affects the solutions

150:41 the wave equation. Now, many , but the most prominent of these

150:46 rail waves, that's what t uh about. Uh But when you have

150:51 same ideas applied at other surfaces. uh We're gonna get other types

150:57 of surface waves, for example, know, the uh the surface at

151:01 bottom of the ocean. How about ? There is a surface which is

151:05 make surface waves traveling along that which are uh gonna be detected by

151:12 bottom seismometers. But they're strictly not wise because they don't have a free

151:20 a, a half a free half above. Now, because of this

151:27 of this nearby surface, we're gonna out the solutions intrinsically depend upon

151:33 Whereas uh and uh uh we did of the conversation about body waves without

151:40 much about frequency. There's another class surface ways called love ways uh different

151:48 railways. And we have in the holes, we're gonna have similar waves

151:53 along the borehole surface, the borehole and those are called uh uh uh

151:59 waves. So, uh all of are, are new ideas. And

152:07 would say that uh uh this lecture one of the more difficult lectures in

152:17 sequence in this course because there's a of mathematics to it. And so

152:24 , I just want to sort of you an idea about how the uh

152:31 uh how the surface leads to different , different kinds of waves in

152:39 different kinds of surface waves. So some general considerations. So whenever you

152:47 any differential equation that's what we The wave equation is a differential equation

152:52 it involves differentials and it tells how change from place to place and from

152:58 to time. But yeah, it tell you what the solution is.

153:04 just tells you how things change. so if you wanna know what it

153:10 , for example, if you, you wanna know what is the displacement

153:13 a certain point within the body, have to couple the equation which tells

153:21 things change with more ideas about how started out or what happens at the

153:30 . So normally in uh an equation in this, in any solution to

153:36 equation, there's gonna be constants and gonna often ignore those until it's time

153:42 solve a particular problem at which time bring in the boundary conditions and or

153:48 initial conditions. Now, previously, didn't talk about any boundary conditions,

153:57 now we are. So our first with boundary conditions is surface lights.

154:04 we normally conduct our surface, our surveys, not in an infant

154:10 No, it it's in a medium is can be idealized as a half

154:16 with nothing above and complicated stuff Uh And uh uh normally the sources

154:23 the receivers are at the free So that's gonna bring in this uh

154:28 conditions in an essential way because of surface, there are additional modes of

154:36 which propagate from source to receiver. they do show up on our records

154:41 prominently. And normally we regard this noise and we try to remove

154:46 But first, we have to understand . So what are the boundary conditions

154:51 the free surface? So bound? this is um uh uh the first

154:57 of the boundary condition that the free , it says that 33 components of

155:05 are all zero at the boundary. we're gonna say the boundary is the

155:11 where Z equals zero. And so do these uh components of, of

155:17 all have in common? They all one of the indices. Sh is

155:22 , at least one of the indices three. And so the three indicates

155:28 we're talking about the surface which is to the three axis. And it

155:34 that uh uh uh all the forces all these stresses are zero, that

155:39 the forces on that horizontal plane at surface are zero at all times all

155:47 . No. What would happen if were not true? If there were

155:51 forces, the surface itself would And of course, it does

155:56 but it doesn't accelerate infinitely, it up and down with the oscillations as

156:02 waves come and go. Uh but doesn't oscillate, it doesn't accelerate infinitely

156:08 as it would if uh if uh forces were not zero, these stresses

156:13 not zero. So just below the , say a foot below the

156:19 the uh stretches are not zero, they smoothly go to zero at the

156:26 . So now, uh let's implement idea in the first case with

156:32 So here's what we're gonna do. gonna have a wave traveling in the

156:36 direction here is the free surface. here's our coordinate system here with one

156:42 to the right and three pointing We're gonna be considering waves which lie

156:49 this plank. So they're gonna be uh they're gonna be, excuse

156:54 they're gonna be traveling it uh uh horizontally to the right, but the

157:00 is gonna be uh lying in the at some angle down here. So

157:06 first person who uh uh analyzed these uh Lord really. And so

157:11 in those days, uh it was uncommon to have uh uh members of

157:18 House of Lords, which is the the senior body of parliament in the

157:24 to be scientists. And so here a scientist uh uh Lord Railing,

157:29 think he was also a rich but he uh was definitely not a

157:34 . He uh uh he, he a scientist and he was the first

157:39 to do this analysis back in the century. So let's look at,

157:46 uh at what they look like in data. Well, so here we

157:50 a common source gather. So the is here. And uh so uh

157:55 it, it looks like a very um uh sem doesn't it, by

158:00 way, this is taken from the which I mentioned to you before and

158:06 , all of these high frequency uh amplitude signal that you see here is

158:13 uh is noise. And if you uh if you filter it with what's

158:22 an FK filter, Professor Joe will to you what that means, then

158:26 can see below that. Uh once uh high frequency uh noise has been

158:33 , you can see the reflections uh uh underneath here at lower amplitudes uh

158:39 with a hyperbolic move out right in . But you see this move out

158:44 definitely not hyperbolic and the amplitudes are high. So that's the stuff we

158:50 to get rid of and to get of it, we have to understand

158:54 it is. So the stresses are by Hook's law. So now on

159:01 uh uh uh on the free surface has index three, the three

159:06 uh the three stresses are given here 13, C 23, C

159:12 And using S uh Snell's Law uh that uh results in these expressions here

159:21 showing the strain explicitly. Now, is uh um this is for oh

159:31 isotropic bodies only in this sum which seeing here. There's many other terms

159:39 all go to zero for isotropic bodies of the properties of the, of

159:45 elasticity stiffness. Matrix stiffness tensor for bodies. So this is simplified substantially

159:55 the assumption of isotropy, which is uh not stated here. But uh

160:04 you know, that's what I've I . No, no, uh we

160:11 to solve for railway. So these , these uh uh strain um components

160:18 which have a strain in the two , those are not railway. So

160:23 , so, so we're just gonna those to zero. And furthermore,

160:27 going to uh use the common names the stiffness. So we're uh gonna

160:32 call uh uh air. Uh uh let's see here. Oh Yeah,

160:48 here. The common name for this here is MU and also for this

160:55 here is MU. And so um , I introduced uh a two out

161:01 front because there are two terms But also there's a one half which

161:06 from the um definition of strength. the definition of the strain has the

161:12 half and it has everything in And so, uh uh this is

161:18 of the reasons why we are, found it useful to include this one

161:25 in the definition of strength. For 33 component of stress. We have

161:33 different um name for the uh for stiffness elements. Uh C 3311 and

161:43 3333. Those names are lambda for one and M for this.

161:53 And you see that we have, gonna have displacement in the one direction

161:58 displacement in the three direction. Both these are gonna be varying in the

162:02 one direction and in the X three . OK. Now, uh because

162:11 these boundary conditions, the solution will neither curl free nor divergence free.

162:18 these uh uh these boundary conditions have uh both the one component and the

162:30 component in there. So because of , the solutions will be neither curl

162:36 nor divergence free. If they will , if they were curl free,

162:41 the solutions would be P weights. they were divergence free, the solutions

162:46 be sheer weights. But because of grounded conditions here, neither one of

162:52 is true. However, we still he Umholtz theorem. So the solution

163:01 will have a curl free part and divergence free part. OK. So

163:08 curl free part we can express as gradient of a scalar potential. And

163:15 do we know that because such a has zero curl. So we can

163:21 this in terms of a scalar Similarly, the divergence free part can

163:28 uh has since it has zero it can be expressed as the curl

163:35 a vector potential. These are properties the curl operation and the divergence operation

163:47 are discussed in uh um uh math as we went over earlier today.

163:56 the curl free part will obey the free wave equation. That's this,

164:02 a scalar wave equation as we had . And the divergence free part will

164:07 the divergence free wave equation. This the uh uh the di this is

164:13 wave equation for the scalar potential si we saw before. Now, I

164:22 you to think of these quantities VP vs just as elastic parameters, they

164:29 not governing the velocity of the which we're gonna derive, they are

164:36 the velocity of body waves. But not what we're gonna do. We're

164:40 do surface waves so that the R will travel with the velocity V of

164:46 . And R obviously stands for Yeah, this is a AAA vector

164:55 of three components of the three components we need. Well, so

165:00 the curl of this equ uh of curl of a, of a vector

165:06 side has expressed it in this you can remind yourself about that going

165:12 to math 101. And you'll see the definition of a, of the

165:17 operation. And for a rail uh these terms are, are gonna

165:23 uh uh zero. Why is it be zero? Because uh the displacement

165:33 gonna be uh uh gonna be zero , in the two directions. And

165:40 , uh uh um this quantity which in the true direction that's gonna be

165:47 . And this quantity here which varies the two directions that's gonna be

165:51 So we're gonna be left with, of all these terms, we're gonna

165:55 left with on only these two. notice that both of these involve only

166:04 uh the uh the two component of, so that's a, a

166:12 simplification. So, so specifically, terms of phi scalar potential phi and

166:21 I two, the displacement is given uh uh by uh these terms

166:28 Uh so that uh here, here the, uh the, the displacement

166:34 the sum of both terms. And one is given by uh um uh

166:43 oh yeah. The first term of gradient of, of the scalar potential

166:52 this term, I'll, I'll go here. Uh uh This is,

166:56 is what we got for the curl si in the one direction. That's

167:01 term here. And of course, got the displacement in the two direction

167:05 zero because we're doing rail waves, something else. And then similarly,

167:12 uh U three is uh given by sum of terms coming from the

167:19 Yeah, the third term of a plus the third term of this um

167:27 vector potential which is given right OK. So now we are,

167:37 know that I'll take out the, boundary conditions at Z equals zero.

167:45 we uh yeah, what we have um C 13 and well,

167:58 in a second, we'll do Tau . But uh for Tau 13,

168:03 was our definition of Tau 13. so we have a derivative with respect

168:08 X three that's given right here of one which is given here uh

168:13 on the previous page, we saw you one is given by this term

168:19 uh this expression here in terms of two potentials. And similarly, uh

168:26 we need to add to that the in driven with respect to X one

168:31 right here. And U three is right here. And similarly, for

168:36 33. So now this uh uh if we were mathematicians, we would

168:46 at this point. But since we're and geophysicists, what we're gonna do

168:51 we're gonna guess the solution and then verify the guess. So we're gonna

168:57 that scale potential five is given by plane wave solution. And the uh

169:06 two component of the vector potential side also given by plane wave. And

169:12 see here, uh let's look at plane wave, it's got a consonant

169:16 front which is probably gonna depend upon and it's got AAA plane wave uh

169:24 here. And you recognize that omega minus um uh K dot X with

169:32 I out in front. And that be familiar to you from the same

169:38 of notation as we had for pea earlier. I think what we did

169:44 here for the, the size or one we have uh this we remember

169:50 two because that's the same two as have here. But we'll add on

169:54 a zero to our minor ourselves. is just a constant, uh an

169:58 constant which uh may might depend upon frequency. And here is the plane

170:05 factor. But look, it's got different name for the wave vector.

170:11 , this wave vector is called H this wave vector is called K.

170:18 , what is uh what do we ? Uh we, we know that

170:22 is gonna make the uh uh the vector. Uh This is gonna make

170:27 scalar wave equation work if and only we have the square of K is

170:34 to omega squared over VP squared. is the square of K is the

170:38 of the squares of the components? we gotta have this condition which relates

170:46 of K to the frequency that's for scalar wave equation. But for the

170:53 for, from the equation which governs two we have vs here. So

171:00 square of H is related to omega uh divided by vs squared. See

171:07 complicated this is getting because we uh the boundary conditions are tangling together

171:14 the girl free part and the divergence part that really showed how the uh

171:22 f free part leads to this This G for uh uh for Phi

171:28 uh the diverse free part leads to G for the wave vector component.

171:34 so what we have to do, have to basically determine these two coefficients

171:41 the components of the two waves. uh we uh uh 22 slides

171:54 we found this expression for the sheer at the surface. This was the

172:00 we found. So we just put gas that we uh uh here's our

172:05 right here. So uh uh we that gas right into here And uh

172:10 this is what we come up After we execute these uh derivatives,

172:15 have uh no more derivatives anymore. we have uh a wave vector components

172:21 K and we have wave vector components H and we have the same two

172:28 same two functions. This is not zero, this is phi original uh

172:34 phi and uh uh you know, uh this is the whole plane wave

172:39 here. And uh I will multiply times new and that whole thing is

172:45 to zero. So we expand and terms. Um uh So you can

172:51 right here uh shy is short right . You can see uh it's spelled

172:57 and similarly uh uh here with collected and uh notice here that we have

173:05 set uh that uh Z equals So we only have uh uh uh

173:11 one here and X one here, don't have any uh uh uh X

173:18 uh because we set that to be zero. This is only valid at

173:23 surface. OK. Now, let's at this. Uh uh So there's

173:30 trivial solution here, which is when subsurface has mu equal zero, see

173:37 equal zero. And this thing is regardless. That's what it says

173:42 So that means that there are no waves on the surface of the

173:48 So that's cool. That's why marine uh always looks so much uh uh

173:53 than land data because it doesn't have waves in there. Because uh of

174:00 condition right here, the boundary condition that this expression for the sheer stress

174:08 got to be 01. Easy way make that happen is by setting zero

174:13 zero. So there are no really at the surface. OK. But

174:19 um uh we're not really interested in trivial solution. Uh We're gonna divide

174:26 the uh uh uh the M and E of auto I Omega T and

174:32 left with this expression and this has to be true at all values of

174:37 . So it must be then that uh see, oh yeah, this

175:03 , this has got to be true uh for all values of X

175:08 And so right here, this varies X one according to K one.

175:13 varies with X one with X one to H one. If we're gonna

175:18 this to be true at all. uh uh uh for all X

175:22 then these two exponential factors have to um the same and then we'll cancel

175:30 out. So, so uh then uh uh that's what we have stated

175:38 . So this is gonna be the then of the railway velocity and it

175:44 have uh either positive or negative. the railway waves can be either going

175:48 or left, they're gonna be traveling this velocity defined by this wave

175:55 So then we just divide out the . So that simplifies things down to

176:01 , solving for that we find the of these two amplitude consonants to be

176:09 by this combination of the wave. Yeah, you can see right here

176:16 the, not that date solving this , we get this. Now,

176:27 we already found uh uh uh uh horizontal ray ray number. So the

176:33 ray number are given by uh for , K three square is equal to

176:39 squared minus K one squared. Following uh uh uh uh A squared equals

176:46 sum of this one and this So a three square uh is gonna

176:51 just this difference. And so this here involving K that's involving VP.

176:58 that we, we got that age , just a couple pages ago.

177:02 uh this one, we got just uh uh in the previous page.

177:06 , there's the V uh VR right and in the same way uh uh

177:12 three squared is given by this difference H squared is related to VS squared

177:20 uh H one squared is the same K one squared. That's this.

177:28 uh with all of that, uh all that together, the scale of

177:33 becomes, this becomes 50 times. uh uh Yeah. Uh The,

177:43 to plan factor K dot X here the uh uh K one dot X

177:49 the K three dot Z America. And so I'm gonna separate out the

177:57 three dot Z part over here and gonna leave this part, the K

178:03 dot X I'm gonna put in there K one in terms of V sub

178:08 right there. And similarly, uh uh the vector potential has a similar

178:16 and it's, it's got the same factor here is the I omega T

178:23 X over VR see, right? is the same as this one but

178:27 notice that this expression here uh is from this one. And of

178:33 the amplitude factor out in here in is different. So that was all

178:38 this year's film. And so this now the normal term count 33,

178:43 go through a similar uh better stuff similar logic as before collecting terms and

178:50 using the ratio of specter that we before collecting term. And uh uh

178:57 so collecting terms, we looking at but uh this is a little uh

179:03 more complicated than, than it needs be because watch what we do to

179:07 . On the next page, we the M over M into VP squared

179:13 vs squared. And these will be body waves of body waves, um

179:20 waves traveling in that same medium. wave is gonna be traveling with the

179:25 uh with the railway, it's gonna traveling with VR uh You don't see

179:31 on this equation uh yet, but gonna see it. Um um We're

179:36 uh uh replace K one squared by over the P square. And let's

179:44 here. Uh Then we're gonna simplify and we're gonna be able to uh

179:49 yeah, look here, we're gonna cancel VP squared with VP squared leaving

179:55 squared and um it, it simplifies to this. You'll have to verify

180:04 uh for yourself. After it, gonna collect uh uh uh terms further

180:10 uh uh uh simplifying life cell. then uh furthermore, we're gonna put

180:16 here uh uh uh for K one , we're gonna have uh and here

180:22 , we find uh um uh the wave velocity come back in, coming

180:27 in. There's, and again, , uh from what we did before

180:35 know that the vertical wavelength number equations like this. And so combining all

180:41 together, we come, we finally this equation for the regular wave velocity

180:48 . So let's look at the uh have to verify for yourself uh afterwards

180:53 we did all this properly. And look what we have here. We

180:58 only VR and vs, there's no in here. Also noticed that

181:07 that the frequency had disappeared. So told you that the wave a

181:13 the way the surface waves were gonna frequency dependent, but it's not true

181:19 this simple case. And by the , this is pretty complicated,

181:23 But it's uh uh this is the case of ground roll. So many

181:30 the assumptions we made here, which true in the earth. For

181:34 this is for an I A homogeneous in the realer, the, the

181:40 has lots of layers and uh uh many things about the subsurface which are

181:46 true here. But uh this was first problem that uh Lord Raley solved

181:53 and it had, it teaches us lot. OK. Now, um

182:01 have in here in this equation, have all a um a bunch of

182:06 and squares of squares and also square and so square roots and difficult to

182:13 with. So the way we're gonna this is we're gonna square the whole

182:17 so that we get rid of those roots. And so when we do

182:21 , we get 1/4 order equation and is the unknown? The unknown is

182:27 square. So here is the unknown here, raised to the fourth

182:32 So I know that you know how solve quadratic equations in your head.

182:38 probably don't know how to solve cubic in your head. And you certainly

182:44 know how to solve fourth ordered poisons your head. So you should be

182:52 uh discouraged at this point because uh gone and here we have the simplest

183:00 case and yet it's so complicated. we, we, we did

183:06 after a complicated line of argument, did find this equation which is not

183:14 uh comp comp complex except for this power. OK. So watch this

183:23 that the term on the left, is independent of VR that if,

183:29 we expand, if we multiply this four times, we are gonna find

183:34 term uh on the left hand side is a minus two to the fourth

183:39 . And that's a 16. And , the corresponding term on this side

183:45 16. So multiply these two together uh we got a plus one times

183:52 for the uh for the term independent VR. And so these two constant

183:59 cancel uh uh they just subtract off each other. So then we can

184:05 both sides by VR squared obtaining a order equation in VR squared. So

184:13 order is better than fourth order, still cubic equations are complicated. So

184:20 what we're gonna do. Um taking of our predecessor geophysicist going uh probably

184:28 back to Lord Raley, but probably analysis is confined to geophysics, not

184:34 physicists. But you can con we're conclude that VR is numerically a bit

184:43 than vs so we're gonna re primer that. So we're gonna say that

184:50 uh we're gonna replace VR squared by squared times one plus the quantity zeta

184:58 minus the quantity zeta. And then , and we know from this previous

185:04 experience, we know that zeta is . So then we're gonna do tailor

185:09 all geophysical track and we're gonna keep the first quantity in the first order

185:17 small zeta. And so that is expression here. So this is,

185:23 is expression for zeta assuming that zeta small. And from that, um

185:33 from this solution for zeta, we uh back substitute and get a,

185:40 expression for VR in terms of things we're familiar with. So I,

185:46 think this is not so complicated. got in here uh vs and VP

185:52 a bunch of uh constants and square and this and that, but it's

185:56 so complicated and it makes a graph looks like this. So this is

186:01 graph of VR non dimensional as a of repeatedly s non dimensional. And

186:09 you can see that uh um for uh repeated vs is say two,

186:19 the velocity ratio is 93% of the but our kind of rocks are usually

186:28 larger values of uh uh of, the VP to vs. So say

186:34 , if the, if the, the body wave velocity ratio is like

186:38 , then the uh railway wave velocity 95% of the uh of the sheer

186:46 . So you see that justifies that is a small number. Now,

186:55 back to the vertical wave numbers, had this expression here and we rewrite

187:00 in terms of zeta. And uh is for K three. And so

187:07 uh this is for K three So let's see here. Um

187:21 so that uh uh uh uh this for the uh the three component of

187:29 wave vector for the uh for the free Park. Oh The railway,

187:38 expressed in this way and it can simplified down to this. Uh

187:43 this is just a simple uh algebra it's similar for the uh for the

187:49 component of the other wave vector. now we are proven is that both

187:58 these vertical wave wave numbers are pure quantities. So you see the eye

188:04 and the eye here, there is real part to this. I'll see

188:13 uh very shortly there are consequences of . So uh after having done all

188:20 work, we have found out that two potentials have these forms here where

188:24 both propagate. See here is the um um it, it, here's

188:32 propagation factor with the same really wave of velocity in both cases, different

188:41 uh amplitudes for the. And here the, we uh we separated

188:47 remember we separated out the, the component of this and it's a,

188:53 frequency independent. And now uh and this, this, we did before

189:01 the uh these two wavelength components K and H three have these um

189:10 So let's rewrite these in terms of uh showing the I explicitly and uh

189:19 uh uh this, these uh vertical are mean the absolute value of K

189:25 . So that absolute volume includes the uh the square root and the uh

189:31 and the uh uh uh and vs but it does not include the

189:36 same thing down here with H Now, we, what we have

189:41 two choices of plus or minus. we're gonna choose the negative sign in

189:46 exponent. So that uh uh what deduce then is uh uh what,

189:53 we've concluded, remember we had these here and now we're gonna rewrite these

189:59 here using this logic down here and gonna choose the minus sign here instead

190:06 plus sign. And what we're what we get to these two expressions

190:11 . Um And why is this It means that as we've written

190:23 we have reduced the, these, of these functions decrease exponentially with

190:31 where does that come from, that from the minus sign here and the

190:35 sign here. And inside these absolute science, that's a positive number.

190:41 is a positive number. So this thing decreases exponentially with depth. So

190:48 as you go further away from the , it goes uh it just goes

190:53 . So that's why we call this surface wave because it's confined to the

190:59 . Now, it propagates horizontally part this factor because this has the uh

191:05 has the um uh the, the quantity I still there. So this

191:11 oscillating and this is decreasing and, exponentially. So you have the right

191:19 say, OK, so this thing getting to be less and less as

191:23 go deeper and deeper. How far we have to go before we can

191:28 this? So we can uh uh this, uh we can express uh

191:35 um numbers like so in terms of of sheer sound. So this says

191:47 the uh the K three vector decreases uh uh uh it has an exponential

191:54 factor of about um uh six divided the wavelength of sound. Remember

192:00 it's gotta have dimensions of minus And here is the length right

192:06 the appropriate length is approximately the wavelength the cheer wave um um velocity uh

192:18 , the, the, the wavelength shear waves at this frequency. And

192:23 uh I I look here this uh three is smaller or by the square

192:31 of uh be of zeta. Zeta a small number. The square root

192:35 it is gonna be a bi bigger , right? Um I say

192:40 if ZTA is 5% then the square of 5% is a bigger number than

192:50 . Both of these uh show that a given frequency, the wave reaches

192:55 only a fraction of the wavelength. furthermore that uh uh uh side reaches

193:03 than uh zeta because this scale factor uh AAA larger exponential decrease. Now

193:17 a bit of um mathematical jargon because imaginary part of the wave vector is

193:28 to the real part, right, imaginary part of the wave vector is

193:32 running down and and the real part porting sideways. So because it's not

193:40 , this railway is called an inhomogeneous . That's what math math mathematicians call

193:50 inhomogeneous wave when the imaginary part is parallel to the real part. So

193:59 a real opportunity for confusion here because talked about in homogeneous equations and we

194:05 about non homogeneous media. But this a description, a mathematical description of

194:11 wave, not the equation or the . And it's called inhomogeneous wave because

194:19 the imaginary part is not parallel to real part. So and now here's

194:29 fun fact, uh one can show the uh the elastic wave equation only

194:37 in homogeneous waves whose imaginary parts are as we found out here. Uh

194:43 If you have any elastic media, not true that uh so that's gonna

194:48 postponed to less than nine. At lower frequencies, the exponential decay

195:11 weaker. We just showed that both these wave, both of these vertical

195:19 of the wave vector depend linearly on . So the exponential decay is weaker

195:27 lower frequencies because of this, our friends here in the J department

195:36 the University of Houston who study Those people can use these kinds of

195:44 waves, surface wave to go to hundreds of kilometers into the earth.

195:51 exploration geophysics. We don't uh uh not interested in what's going down,

195:58 on 100 kilometers down. So we higher frequencies because um uh our um

196:06 friends use very low frequency with uh of hundreds of seconds. And

196:15 the very low frequencies, they uh into something which we call the modes

196:21 free oscillation of the earth where the itself is ringing like a bell.

196:28 here is a picture of uh Raley um mhm motion. So try not

196:38 get dizzy and fall out of your to you. Uh uh to you

196:42 that first thing I want you to is that this wave uh uh uh

196:49 it going to the right or to left? And you see it's going

196:55 the left, well watch this point , this peak is going to the

197:00 excuse me, it's going to the , watch this peak right here.

197:04 it's go it's following my. So it's moving to the right. Uh

197:11 that uh the amplitude at great depth less. So th this is decaying

197:16 depth uh uh or whether decay scale which is comparable to the wavelength that

197:23 see here. Notice that the wave is growing it, it goes

197:30 see it as it goes. this wave is going backwards. But

197:37 , the way the particle is going while the wave is going forwards.

197:44 this is a ni a nifty um which was uh um uh constructed by

197:50 guy Daniel, a Russell whom I not know. Uh I hope that

197:56 he put this out in the public , he made it available to us

198:01 free. I found it uh for . And so I think it's kind

198:07 cute. So uh um yes. so yeah, when we derive this

198:23 , uh we found that the radio velocity is independent of frequency.

198:29 the data will show whenever you look data. Uh and you're gonna see

198:35 such surface waves of arrivals, rail arrivals and real data always show frequency

198:43 . So uh uh the reason for is um uh that in our uh

198:50 , we only did a homogeneous subsurface the real earth has a layered

198:57 So uh when you do the layer wave expansion of rail layered ra wave

199:06 , it's a straightforward extension of what did here, but we're not gonna

199:10 it. Of course, in uh of course, I think that

199:13 discussion was already sufficiently complicated. So , I suppose that at this

199:21 your eyeballs have rotated into the back your head. Uh But you can

199:28 this after class, I want you go through this uh uh all this

199:32 and you'll see it and all this and you'll see what the Lord really

199:38 uh over 100 years ago. Uh maybe the essence of it is uh

199:45 here in the, as this is here in these questions from the

199:53 OK. So first question, I this goes to Carlos. Hey,

200:01 , this is for you. It we already derive uh body wave

200:06 Uh uh So why are these surface equations for radio waves so complicated?

200:13 it A B or C uh uh ? So, uh I, I'm

200:17 um um ask you uh Carlos only you. I'm gonna ask you only

200:22 a uh is this true since uh uh is this part true here?

200:36 It says since really waves are neither waves nor S waves, a new

200:41 equation was required. Is that Is that part of it true?

200:48 not sure. Professor I think. . Uh uh So uh I

200:54 I think it's false. I think false. Yeah. Yeah, it

200:57 false. We, in fact, use the same wave equations that we

201:01 before. We use the uh uh the uh same wave equations for Phi

201:07 the same way wave equations for P only instead of being independent they were

201:13 together. Mhm OK. That's why so complicated. So, uh so

201:19 statement about a new wave equation that's . Well, good for you

201:23 So Brisa, next one is for , since ra waves are located,

201:28 this uh is this, does this the question? Since rail waves are

201:34 near the surface considerations of broader conditions required? Is that true? And

201:41 it answer the question, bris are there? Sorry. II I thought

201:54 didn't have this one. I think , it's true. Yeah, that

201:59 true. Uh uh uh And it answers the question. They're so

202:06 because of these boundary conditions. But wanna go on uh uh uh le

202:10 let's go on to see here. uh cubic equations are complicated by their

202:16 . Is that true? And does answer the question? Yeah, that's

202:21 . It is true, but it answer the question back to you,

202:25 . It says uh uh are needed uh they travel in the X action

202:31 are polarized in the XY plane. that true? And doesn't answer the

202:43 . So yeah, they travel in X direction. That's true.

202:48 polarizing the Zy plane uh oh not the Zy plane, polarizing the ZX

202:57 . So this one is false. . That's good. Very good.

203:03 let's see what's next second uh course uh that says uh the boundary conditions

203:12 the surface is that the stresses are . This goes to your mead.

203:18 this true? It is true. uh I want you to go back

203:24 in your mind and look at, the very beginning of this lecture,

203:29 we said is that certain components of stresses are zero. Only those components

203:36 uh uh with a three in uh the subscripts, remember that stress has

203:41 subscripts uh And uh one of them to be three and that aligns the

203:48 uh remember stresses for per unit area the three aligns the unit area with

203:55 surface. And so those only those are zero which have a three and

204:03 the Andes. So you got that wrong. Uh So this one goes

204:09 uh uh to you. Uh it says it says true or

204:15 The Helmholtz theorem says that every vector has a curl free part and a

204:20 three part and these can be separated or false. Yeah, that's

204:25 Good for you. Uh back to Carlos uh in the railway, the

204:31 free part and the divergence free part different wave vectors K and H and

204:36 propagate with different velocities. Is that Carlos? Are you there? Just

204:52 , I'm not too OK. So , let's analyze this. Um They

204:57 have different wave vectors K and Uh Yeah. Uh So we talked

205:02 those separately and uh the K vector the scalar wave equation and the H

205:09 solves uh uh the uh vector wave but they do propagate with the same

205:15 which is VR So this statement is . The first part is correct,

205:21 the, the second part is So the whole thing is false.

205:26 . Uh So back to brice, real parts give the railway velocity VR

205:36 the horizontal direction, true or I am thinking, yeah. So

205:47 , I'm, I'm listening to you , think out loud, think out

205:50 for us present. Well, I was looking back going back to

205:58 , to that slide and it says um OK. So uh the real

206:10 are K one and H one. uh uh uh uh the imaginary parts

206:17 K three and H three. And uh it's these real parts which appear

206:23 the oscillator part of the final Uh And uh uh it has uh

206:30 uh uh wave velocity V uh So this one is trip.

206:36 So uh uh back to you the uh the imaginary parts make the

206:44 amplitude increase with depth to a false . Yeah. Decreases of depth.

206:50 . So this is a trick Uh uh uh this, if

206:55 that would decrease, then it would true. But it's not um um

207:00 decreased, it has increased. So must be a false when we say

207:04 decreases with depth. That's why we it a surface wave because the amplitude

207:09 away with greater depth. OK. to your college. Since the rail

207:19 has a curl free part, uh wave part and a divergence free ST

207:24 , it travels with a velocity between and vs or false. Carlos just

207:35 trying to find it. I wanna you thinking out loud Carlos.

207:40 I'm sorry. And uh professor, not sure but I think it's

207:47 Yeah. Uh uh I agree with . So the first part of this

207:50 true, it does have a curl part and it does have a diverse

207:55 part but it travels with the velocity for ra which happens to be less

208:03 , vs, right? It's even than, vs. So uh uh

208:11 uh we normally think of a, sheer wave. Uh uh velocity is

208:17 less than P wave, which is . But the really wave velocity is

208:21 less than the shear wave vel less only a small amount, five or

208:27 . But uh sure enough le OK. So let us go on

208:38 uh uh think about other surface This was uh uh I would have

208:44 say, I would say that these waves were complicated and uh uh

208:50 I think that after you look at material um and homework tonight, you

208:58 see that uh uh uh uh uh is explained in a pretty straightforward way

209:04 it, it was complicated. I would be uh not discouraged if

209:10 were you if I didn't follow this uh all because there are so many

209:15 ideas. Uh but um uh complicated . But uh there's more to surface

209:25 than rail waves. We only looked the simplest case of the simplest

209:30 So l let's think of now go Schulze waves. Schulte was another one

209:36 these Germans. Uh And they are uh on ocean bottom seismic data.

209:43 kind of like railing waves, but upper half space is the ocean,

209:49 hair however similar to uh railway, motion is confined to the 13

209:58 The same boundary are the boundary conditions now continuity uh stress, not,

210:06 um zero stress, but continuity of three stress. Uh As before,

210:13 can uh define scalar potentials and vector , both above and below the

210:22 both above and below the surface and boundary conditions to determine the various

210:30 And of course, that means that analysis is more complicated, but the

210:35 are similar. The velocity is uh less than uh in an ocean bottom

210:41 experiment. We do see the shy coming into our data, especially on

210:49 vertical component. They're traveling horizontally, they're polarized vertically and uh mostly vertically

210:57 they decay exponentially away from both sides the boundary. So they decay away

211:03 into the mud and they decay away into the ocean. But we have

211:09 receiver right there at the ocean. me ask you to take uh uh

211:14 bet you can't guess just how slow , these uh shy waves are because

211:24 muck is often very porks, very density m very low shear modulus uh

211:39 the uh in the near sea floor . These sh two waves can travel

211:46 slowly as 100 m per second, m per second. Oh,

211:54 So when we first saw that, thought, what is this? And

211:59 uh uh we asked our buddies and told us about Solti. So

212:03 I had it wrong. Uh this guy Solti was not German was uh

212:10 . And you see he did, didn't uh uh die so long

212:15 Uh I came into this business in . So uh and uh he was

212:25 not dead for very long at that . Now, we can have salty

212:33 on deeper interfaces, interfaces where it's uh uh uh solid um uh both

212:41 and and below the, the, boundary. And uh Uh Now,

212:48 have a new uh a new boundary uh for uh a continuity of displacement

212:55 well as continuity of stress and similar main uh uh uh uh uh more

213:08 . And these are named after um uh after Stoneley. And so Stoneley

213:16 uh uh lived even longer than Sul Schulte. Look at this, I

213:21 , uh uh he was born before and died after s and so these

213:30 complicated and uh uh these uh these uh in internal surface waves of the

213:39 type are complicated. And uh uh I'm gonna uh say we, we

213:46 see them in our kind of So I'm gonna skip over this business

213:51 and I'm gonna come to love So we have only 10 minutes left

214:00 , but that's enough to get us on le on love work.

214:05 um oh OK. So this guy a love, it is the same

214:11 that we uh uh heard about before what he was, he's gonna solve

214:17 similar problem except that he's gonna be for. Uh we gonna have a

214:24 uh subsurface. We're gonna be looking waves traveling in the one direction.

214:28 now this time we're gonna have displacement of the screen. Whereas before what

214:35 word really did was the displacements in screen. OK. So we're gonna

214:40 uh uh displacements out of the So what we're gonna need is a

214:47 source and cross cross line receivers to these. And uh so because we

214:54 have only vertical sources and we normally only vertical geophones. Love waves have

215:01 been not very prominent in exploration However, because we are using more

215:10 receivers these days and since the rocks anisotropic, even our vertical sources can

215:18 love waves. So we're gonna do brief analysis anyway. So as before

215:24 stresses were given by Hook's law, are the stresses that we have to

215:29 . And all of these are zero assumption, these displacements are zero by

215:34 , the strengths are zero, by , these are kind rail wave

215:39 And so we're gonna be only looking this one equation and the, these

215:45 terms are the same and uh uh only uh a tau 23 has a

215:54 tral grounded condition here. It is the previous uh um from the previous

216:01 a slide. And so, uh know the common name for C

216:07 that's a mu. And so then that mu into the previous expression,

216:13 uh uh uh and expressing the strain terms of the love wave displacement,

216:21 know that this is a zero by because this is in the three

216:26 So we have only the displacement in two direction and, and the boundary

216:32 comes down to this and this is only at the surface only at Z

216:37 zero. Now, because now this a sheer component boundary condition only see

216:45 uh no involvement here of heat waves uh at all. So because of

216:52 , the, the solution will be of divergence, it will be uh

216:58 uh so, uh as before, we can define this uh uh sheer

217:05 potential as before. But however, there's only one component of displacement,

217:10 easier to work with the sheer displacement . So here we go, uh

217:17 the sheer vector displacement itself. And we're gonna put in there, the

217:22 wave boundary conditions. This is, this is the love wave displacement

217:28 And again, I want you to of this as not as uh the

217:32 of the resulting wave. That's an of that simply as an elastic

217:40 So we're gonna guess the solution by like before here we go, we're

217:45 guess it's a, a, an constant with an oscillator factor. And

217:50 oscillator factor is uh uh gonna have link. Uh We, we're gonna

217:57 uh the, the wave vector we're call here H instead of K.

218:01 uh the, the square of the is gonna be given by uh the

218:06 wave velocity parameter. Like, like says here. And we need only

218:12 determine the wave vector components. H and H three. We know that

218:23 is gonna be only the displacement is gonna be in the two directions.

218:27 we only have to determine H one H three, the components of the

218:31 vector we found uh the boundary condition this, this is what we

218:37 So uh it has three solutions. II I either mu equal zero.

218:47 we, we can solve this equation three different ways, either mu equal

218:52 which is the marine case. So have no uh love waves in the

218:57 environment. That's good. Uh Either uh U equals zero. That's this

219:04 right here, 20 and implies no at all. So that's not an

219:11 solution or H three equals zero, implies that H one is uh is

219:19 is related to uh vs by this . So this is just an ordinary

219:25 share way. So there is no wave solution. Wow. I bet

219:32 surprised you. I bet that's uh uh that uh we are um

219:40 we just proved that there are no ones at all. Wait a

219:47 That conclusion is based on our previous . So let's go back and remember

219:54 the previous assumptions are in the previous . We thought it was a homogeneous

220:03 . What would happen if we put here another uh medi another layer?

220:08 we got an upper medium and a medium. That's what love did.

220:12 did not give up at the previous . Love didn't give up here.

220:17 said. OK. So uh the case was really simple, may be

220:21 simple. Let's try a, a little s uh complication. Let's put

220:27 here a layer and see what So the uh when he did

220:33 he derived uh uh he, he nontrivial solutions. So uh and those

220:40 called lovely. So uh we will those up starting tomorrow. Don't have

220:46 to uh get into that at Uh Today, we uh uh I

220:54 that up tomorrow, starting at nine . So we will go from nine

221:03 one tomorrow morning and then from two six tomorrow morning, tomorrow afternoon.

221:10 . So let me ask you uh uh come to the um uh come

221:16 the meeting tomorrow morning, uh send uh questions by email um o overnight

221:24 will uh will uh take up your uh and starting for a anything we

221:32 today. Uh We'll take up those tomorrow morning and then we'll start talking

221:37 non-trivial love wave solutions using this more subsurface model. Now, of

221:44 you will realize that in the real and the Real Earth is gonna be

221:48 lot more than two layers to media here. But uh this is a

221:53 in the right direction. So with will stop today. Uh Utah,

221:58 can uh stop the
