00:06 OK. The goal today is to how much amplitude you can reflect off

00:12 a boundary. And again, I to introduce the velocity and density changes

00:21 boundary. And that's going to introduce some relationships on how particles bounce near

00:29 boundary. And I'm also going to again a little bit on the physical

00:38 of the wavelengths, amplitude and velocity measurements during wave propagation or go over

01:05 a couple slides. Remember what I you that a GEO phone, it's

01:12 as the wave approaches it, it to know do you come from the

01:17 or do you come from the top ? Which means this never happens.

01:23 theoretically, if you hit the GFO , these are this one is a

01:32 displacement GFO or vertical velocity. So does not record any current coming out

01:39 it. If you hit it that is theoretically. But as you

01:44 know, you hit it sideways, gonna go up and down too.

01:47 gonna move some uh that is against hydrophone which sitting in the water,

01:57 doesn't cure what direction you hit It's gonna record the same wavel any

02:03 you approach it. Sometimes that's Sometimes it's bad. It does have

02:09 advantages because we're able to separate the reflections from the downgoing surface reflectors going

02:19 . So you can, you can energy get done, hit a

02:22 come up, hit a hydrophone, the sea level and come back

02:26 No, no, no, you want that. But if you happen

02:30 have a GEO phone in the both at the same location, then

02:35 can get rid of the energy that back down. That's, that's called

02:38 ghost. We we can get rid those. The other little thing that

02:45 learned was that the hydrophone, it's you uh that you have on it

02:56 proportional to the Jetta phone particle velocity the acoustic impedes which is the density

03:06 the wave velocity. Now all of sudden you have two velocities in that

03:13 . One is how individual particle The other one is how the wave

03:20 is the speed of sound inside a . No. How fast does the

03:32 travel in that particular medium? This V right. Thunder cannot, can

03:40 be changed when the properties of the through the wave it travels has

03:45 Say another another way this wave propagation velocity is independent of time. So

03:53 you're in water, it's 5000 ft second. I don't care. It's

03:57 this side or that side, it's be 5000 ft per second.

04:01 what about the particle motion? if so comes up to that

04:08 All right, let's put a GE up to a geo filme. The

04:11 is gonna start to move up and and push the geophones. Now,

04:16 long as that particle is moving up down, the geophones will move and

04:21 get a recording and the recording is velocity. It tells you how fast

04:28 particle is going up and down. , as soon as that wave

04:33 you don't get any particle motion You don't have any particle velocity.

04:40 will see that again shortly. So thing to remember, wave velocity is

04:51 of time. This depends upon time the earth moving back and forth due

04:57 some wave coming in. What we to know is if you have energy

05:05 a boundary, how much amplitude is be reflected if the amplitude coming down

05:14 be known. Now, obviously, amount that we're gonna reflect off of

05:20 boundary depends upon the two quantities shown acoustic impedes density times wave propagation velocity

05:29 the first medium and the acoustic competes the second. And the East amplitude

05:37 reflects right here going up is going be a ratio of how much came

05:43 to how this goes up. So reflected particle velocity over the incident particle

05:50 , normally we think of the incident having a value of one uh just

05:56 , so what's the reflection coefficient, this ratio? You just kind of

06:00 a value here. For instance, the amplitude going down as a value

06:11 one is so near and this is pulse, if she rated here,

06:19 it goes up right here, it'll the same shape, it'll have the

06:29 shape a as the incident coming So that's the incident going down and

06:35 up, it has the same Now, this is called quiz

06:41 I'm gonna show off. OK. I want somebody here to show off

06:46 me. If I'm going to folks the other side of the world,

06:53 have people looking under their computer. don't know why, but I'm sorry

07:03 we talk about having plus and minus of motion in order to have that

07:14 have to have a reference and what we call? You have to have

07:19 coordinate system. So a lot of we forget about that. So for

07:25 example, here, I'm gonna put surface up here and there's the,

07:29 is the spike of the GFO that in the ground and here's the

07:36 Now, if I'm going down like , I'm going down and I say

07:43 is my pulse. What I am , I have set up a corded

07:48 where going down is positive and going is negative. You have to have

07:56 cod to talking about plus or So I said this is positive going

08:02 . Now, when I reflect and boundary here, I said it's a

08:08 boundary. So the pulse that's going is gonna be reflected. So this

08:15 is going up now that's opposite of downgoing pulse. And I consider the

08:22 pulse to be positive. So this looking as reflected, looking, the

08:29 reflected looking the same way as the , this must be negative when it

08:37 the GEO oe because going down was . So what that means is even

08:46 the pulse is going up has the shape and polarity as that going down

08:52 it hits the GEO filme, you be careful because in reality, that

08:57 really a negative sign. Now she , who cares? Well, when

09:04 buy seismic data and you give there's something called the header and the

09:10 is a little information that data processing tell you. And in that

09:17 they're gonna tell you our standard for polarity. Is this in United

09:27 It says if you come down and reflect off of a positive boundary and

09:33 go back up at the top. United States says if it's a positive

09:40 that's re that's on your seismic data we sent you. If it's a

09:45 value, that means you reflect it of a positive boundary down here.

09:50 reflection coefficient was positive. Now that's our standard. I mean that that's

09:59 the US standard, but it's not right. The correct answer is if

10:06 plus going down, you're going to negative, that's gonna hit a go

10:12 it's gonna record negative, not Now, the English European standard is

10:21 you see a trough on your seismic and you assume that you had a

10:31 source going down, that means the was a plus and that it was

10:36 increase of impede. So that difference not because somebody wants this to be

10:44 . The English have it the correct . But we all grew up with

10:50 peak on your seismic data is a reflection off of a boundary.

10:59 Where it gets tricky as we start look at three dimensional reflections continuity of

11:08 principles. Most geophysicists have this tattooed her forearm. And it says if

11:22 assume my acoustic impedance going down my of the incident is one, then

11:30 amplitude of the reflector, I'm gonna to this acoustic impedance right here.

11:36 says my normal incidence and that's the . Although the reflected or the amplitude

11:45 the incident, that's your normal It's the acoustic impedance difference between the

11:54 and the upper two is the It's 12 down here. This equation

12:03 can be approximately written as the difference density over the sum of the density

12:13 the difference in P wave velocity over sum. Now the difference two minus

12:22 is written as delta, a different . Delta is a different sign.

12:26 the difference in density and the difference velocity is written with a delta.

12:36 underneath notice that row here doesn't have one or two because here row means

12:48 average. Now I am just explaining you what you're gonna see all types

12:56 equation following this with this notation because we went to what we would call

13:03 vo this became very essential shorthand that is gonna be the difference. So

13:14 you see delta beta, what was again, what is it? Secondary

13:26 ? Yeah, and what do we it secondary wave, the sheer

13:31 And so that means what when you a boundary and you see a delta

13:41 way, what does that mean difference what the lower and the upper survey

13:48 ? And you then see in the a beta over here and that means

13:55 average and that's share wave two plus wave one divided by two. Oh

14:04 that's where this too comes in. see here you have the sum of

14:10 two and here that was the So you gotta have two of those

14:16 in order to get the sum road two plus density one. And then

14:24 is to complicate, but it actually very good sense. And that is

14:32 bring out our old calculus book. remember that you, it's probably used

14:36 day in your work as a Yeah, Fred. And that is

14:43 normal incidents. Reflection to fish can written as the difference of the natural

14:50 of acoustic bes between the lower in upper medium. This does not make

15:00 . Fred, we caught Fred Ginn to us. Why is that?

15:06 , look, look up here, just tells you Fred's lying because here

15:12 have a numerator and denominator. where'd it go? You don't have

15:20 down here. How can you get and have a numerated? Numb and

15:25 all of a sudden you do away the numb. Wow, something

15:31 Here. Anybody got a clue. you remember your calculus? I

15:36 I always go, go back to calculus book and look these things up

15:42 you have natural log. What does mean? That means you have 0.5

15:49 this is the natural log of We've got alpha here of two divided

16:05 the natural law of one. In words, when you have a division

16:13 as this, here's the two natural of two mice and natural log,

16:18 acoustic convenience of one. So that's the den denominator, the numerator is

16:26 . Now, why would we like see this right here? Why do

16:32 like that? Because I want to you a little visual quiz. I

16:40 you to tell me how big of reflection you're gonna expect on your seismic

16:46 now as geologists in some GS one two token geophysicists, it's your responsibility

16:55 say what depositional environments am I gonna in this area? And with

17:03 you now and then say, that helps me if I have a

17:07 big reflection, it might be this or model and if I have a

17:12 , it might be this. So examples. You just went into a

17:17 area and you or ask immediately just if I have a gas in

17:24 the shell, how big will my reflection be? Oh, how about

17:31 coal bed beneath? Shall, how is my reflection coat gonna be?

17:38 . Put a limestone beneath you, be but cool beneath the limestone all

17:43 a sudden he got these four cases you, now you pull the seismic

17:48 up on your beautiful desktop screen and start looking at amplitudes. He

17:53 uh that's kind of big, that's quarters of an inch and that's only

17:56 quarter of an inch. Hm. the two possibilities of those two

18:02 What, what could those Ortho So you'd like a way to visually

18:09 this in your mind with ha having look at this equation over and over

18:15 . Now you can compute and give a normal incidence value for each one

18:20 those. But then you could have scenarios that make it difficult. So

18:25 a little clue. Take the lithology make a scale and the scale is

18:36 half the natural log of the particular . So here, limestone is the

18:44 . So it has the largest natural of acoustic pieces and cool is way

18:50 here even below a gas samp. I look at this equation down here

18:55 it says, take the lower medium subtract from the upper and that's gonna

19:03 you the natural log of acoustic at . So we'll do that. Who

19:09 over here? And this says, about a gas sand beneath the

19:17 So I'm gonna come over here and here's the shale and you wanna go

19:25 the Gian. So we have this right here, the shale over the

19:38 and you're gonna come down like I wanna know that normal incidence and

19:43 way this chart is designed, it we're gonna satisfy this equation. I

19:49 take this share value and I'm gonna down to that cast and this is

19:58 normal incidence reflection coefficient that distance. Come on, Fred. That distance

20:03 1 ft. That's not normal Normal in it is uh uh

20:07 no unit on it, right? what are we gonna do? We're

20:11 compare this distance to this distance and , oops, this is a shale

20:20 coal and I can tell my amplitude here on my seismic isn't that big

20:30 here. So I think this most might be a shell over coal

20:35 by the way, it's also negative this is a big negative.

20:40 if I had a limestone beneath a , oops, it's Rhinestone. Uh

20:53 it is cool beneath the limestone. I have the limestone and I go

20:59 to the core, it's negative. a negative direction. So that's gonna

21:04 a big negative amplitude sitting in No, you can see visually,

21:14 can relate these two and it's uh what's, what's the back?

21:19 am I comparing it to what you're it to is normally in your

21:24 you're gonna have shale over a wet . So that distance right there is

21:32 normal background. So you see an that looks kind of constant all over

21:37 area and say, oh that must my shell over a wet sandstone.

21:42 then you compare this to the other that you have. How much bigger

21:48 I than the background amplitude? another benefit of this is what if

22:00 get a new pathology? Well, keep these and you just put that

22:05 lithology in salt and now immediately you start asking what if I have limestone

22:14 on top of salt. Uh You're gonna get a big reflection, it's

22:20 small and salt can almost look like , at least on the normal

22:32 OK. That's, and this little, little spiel right here showed

22:43 I went to my calculus book and up I what's this natural log

22:48 What do we do with that? . Why is the mind show

23:00 Why is the limestone? Why is the only one pointing out? And

23:10 was a, a limestone beneath So I have chill on top and

23:23 on the bottom and the limestone is , harder than shale. And if

23:36 have shell over eight, yes. right here, the gas in has

23:46 smaller acoustic be a, a smaller . OK. Now, here here

23:58 that reflection coefficient equation again. And look at extremes. What if the

24:11 medium? That's this one. What it is really, really a hard

24:18 ? I mean, hard material, mean, really hard compared to the

24:22 of. So we have cotton balls here on top of stainless steel.

24:29 a hard boundary. So the reflection gonna be really, really big because

24:38 medium acoustic competes much bigger. So two much, much bigger than L

24:44 and yet I two or I two two is great big. This is

24:51 . The cotton balls compared to the in that big number over big

24:57 Throw away the small stuff, you one. Now you put the steel

25:03 on top and put cotton on the here. No, your acoustic and

25:11 of the upper medium is real So we could back up here.

25:16 is big, this is insignificant. is big, this is insignificant.

25:22 minus I over plus I one is be minus one. I know I

25:31 have been looked on here. This insignificant, that's insignificant, given us

25:38 two extremes. So the reflection goes plus one to minus one. An

25:49 if I, if the reflection coefficient is related to the properties that you

25:57 here, reflection coefficient, what's it equal to? It says the density

26:04 the same. So I can factor the density. It doesn't matter at

26:09 . But now say what about these ? Well, as it says,

26:16 the lower minus the upper. So lower here is the 20 and the

26:26 is 10 and that's over the sum should be 30. So what we

26:38 is shown here a reflection coefficient of third. If the incident wave coming

26:51 had a amplitude of three, then reflected is gonna be one third of

26:59 incident which have a value of one here and it's positive now switch these

27:07 around and your reflection coefficient is So when that is plotted, we

27:18 its reverse polarity with respect to the wave. Oh That gives you another

27:28 tool to remember if I have a coming up and hitting this boundary,

27:39 going to reflect that. So what the reflection coefficient be at that boundary

27:49 this wave coming up? It's gonna up and come down. What would

27:54 reflection coefficient be negative? One third one third. This is, if

28:13 hit it from the top, it out, it was plus one

28:18 then if you turn around and hit from the boundary, it's just the

28:22 polarity. Well, I'll be Do you know what that tells

28:28 That tells me you see this sand there. I'm gonna go ahead and

28:36 that sand right there and I have shell right up here and I have

28:44 shell right underneath of it. And is plus one third and coming down

28:55 this boundary is minus a third. , for the tricky question, what

29:09 when this thickness becomes small? What happen to this combination of reflections?

29:19 gonna reflect this off the top you're gonna reflect this of the bottom

29:32 . Now, what do you These two reflections get added together but

29:39 coming in almost at the same So what happens? The amplitude disappears

29:47 you get thinner and thinner. If of a sudden the thickness of that

29:53 bed right here, if it's only half of an inch, really

30:00 you get a reflection from the top from the bottom essentially at the same

30:05 . And so you have a pause the reflection coming right on top right

30:12 a negative. But they get so together, you can just add their

30:17 together giving you zero, you get response. So very, very thin

30:24 is gonna be hard to see. gosh, Fred, wasn't that the

30:30 that you asked on that one Yeah. Now we'll begin seeing how

30:36 Mo White's article was. He had factor. His son, your amplitude

30:46 a thin bed is equal to the incidence reflection coefficient times the thickness divided

30:55 the wavelength of the pulse in that . And the core sense of physicists

31:03 this times pi you're gonna have gonna the pilot. OK. Any comments

31:17 questions and you all can see the significance of that. I hope we

31:35 a problem here. Listen, we a problem. What's the problem?

31:42 a formula that we can develop that the reflection coefficient was the transmitted coefficient

31:54 equal to one. Now, what that mean? That means go back

32:01 the previous slide and you had on previous slide that this reflection coefficient coming

32:11 air was one third. So what going to be the amplitude of the

32:23 that continues downward? Well, the says it's gonna be one minus the

32:32 coefficient. So this transmitted wave right , it should have an amplitude of

32:40 thirds that will that will be the coefficient for the wave going through.

32:48 that means if my initial wave had amplitude of three going down, then

32:56 transmitted will be two thirds of that the value two sitting in here.

33:07 Now I'm gonna show you how powerful am most people don't realize it but

33:13 have this power over, over the world. Let me show you the

33:21 that I have. If you reflect deep, real deep, you can

33:29 a way of going up being So if I have a wave right

33:38 and it has an amplitude of three before it hits his boundary.

33:44 what's the reflection coefficient of this Remember this was normal incidence reflection coefficient

33:53 a third. What's the reflection Now when I come from the bottom

33:58 go like that, that reflection it's gonna be minus a third.

34:08 just the opposite of the other. you come on the boundary this way

34:12 down, going opposite the opposite, nonsense value. So that means the

34:21 coefficient is gonna be one minus a one third or four thirds. So

34:36 transmitting pulse going up through here is to be the value of four even

34:45 the incident was three. So what has showed you is that I can

34:55 more energy when I go through a I can create amplitude. So the

35:03 of laws, these energy in that don't hold for Fred you the common

35:10 maybe but I can get away with . I just made an amplitude bigger

35:14 the incident angle. How can I that? Anybody want to guess?

35:38 , these are particle motion and when talk about energy, you have to

35:51 some period of time. Energy is quote instantaneous. It requires some type

35:59 waveform to carry it. So here's exercise conservation of energy. Again,

36:14 small is a particle velocity and it's vector and it's positive going downward.

36:23 V is the propagation velocity. It's speed when you have a situation as

36:35 shown here 22 20,000 or 11,000, particle velocity, that reflection is minus

36:50 third. That's we agree with So now we're gonna make a cartoon

36:59 of it. I have an area I have a length right in

37:09 this propagation velocity in the upper that propagation velocity is 20,000 ft per

37:20 . So I have sitting here 20 and each layer is 1000 ft

37:30 And what that represents is the pulse I'm putting into the ground. I'm

37:36 send a pulse down and it's nothing a square wave and it's one second

37:43 . So if I send something that's second long, that's the time.

37:52 in space, what is it? one second times 20,000 ft per

37:57 which is my propagation velocity. So is 20,000 ft long and it has

38:07 area a which is arbitrary. But notice that this is the wave going

38:21 when it reflects off of this boundary goes upward. What's the size of

38:31 volume? Now, the volume is 20,000 ft long, it has the

38:38 area. But how much is it ? That's what counts. How much

38:45 this volume shaking? Well, we're give this a particle velocity of

38:53 So as that's going down, it's with a particle velocity of one,

38:59 it's 20,000 ft long. Now, it reflects upward, it's gonna have

39:05 particle velocity of minus one third. the reflection coefficient of this.

39:13 here's where it comes interesting when you into the low, when this gets

39:19 the lower medium, what happens with area remains the same? But the

39:27 is not only 10,000 ft long because is 10,000 ft per second. That

39:35 that life 10,000 ft long. It's a second. You can't change

39:42 a wave when it propagates to the doesn't change side. It doesn't change

39:47 time lapse between peak and peak. does change is the wavelength think of

39:55 this way a traffic cop is chasing guy that violated the law and the

40:07 happens to be about the one block . They are violator. So there

40:22 a period, you can say the time between the cop and that might

40:29 60 seconds, one ball. That's . Five seconds, one block.

40:36 of a sudden they're traveling 60 miles hour, they come into a hospital

40:43 . So they have to slow Now, when they slow down,

40:47 still going by the speed limit, what happens. They get closer

40:55 But it still takes five seconds for cop to reach the violator because they're

41:02 traveling at the same speed. So happened is a wavelength that was one

41:07 long, now becomes only 400 ft . And then as soon as they

41:13 out, it becomes a block between C and the speeder again, as

41:19 as they maintain the velocity of the . Now, that's the same that's

41:26 right here. This was 20,000 ft . But when I get in a

41:31 medium, it's only gonna be 10,000 long for that wavelength. So you

41:37 actually take a snapshot of the earth you could see up in the top

41:42 20,000 ft was jiggling and you wait couple seconds and then down below the

41:49 , only 10,000 ft was jiggling. there's a bigger volume, there's a

41:55 volume that's jiggling then appear that you . And what that means is,

42:14 did that come from? So here's summary of what the cartoon sets and

42:28 it, we're not gonna meticulously go this. We have the conservation of

42:34 energy. It says the kinetic energy must equal the kinetic energy after.

42:42 I look at the incident kinetic That's this thing right in here.

42:48 now V small V at your particle in one half mass times the velocity

42:58 , that velocity is not your It's how much is your particle

43:03 How much is your whole volume The volume comes into consideration when you

43:10 the mass of the upper medium. now you're very long and that has

43:18 equal after you gotta have kinetic energy this plus the kinetic energy in this

43:26 to the original kinetic energy. Now the small is a vector but when

43:34 square it forget about direction you can about. But now also when he

43:41 over here, you find out that transmitted has a different vector. It's

43:51 thirds, it's bigger. Your amp getting bigger. Now, the part

43:56 kinetic energy it's OK. Then when go for conservation of momentum, you

44:04 uh oh in order to do Freddie had to put an extra minus

44:09 in there because now the particle velocity negative compared it was before. Since

44:20 has a direction you see growing up going down have different directions. If

44:29 want to conserve momentum, I gotta that into consideration. So if we

44:36 ahead and we use a little cartoon this, we can show you have

44:43 have a bigger transmitted wave. Then in order to conserve momentum and kinetic

44:55 , it's not violated, it's actually . And where do we see that

45:05 ? It's like a tsunami out in ocean. What's the wavelength a

45:13 It's a mile long wavelength, maybe . But when it gets inside the

45:18 . What's the wavelength? I don't . 100 ft. Yeah.

45:24 what's that mean? Gotta get really out in the middle of the

45:28 That's the problem for years. How heck do you detect a rise of

45:35 inches? And then we, when storms come and the waves are there

45:42 when you get in the bay? , that's 100 ft. Now,

45:45 know how big that wave is. it? OK? If you folks

45:52 don't know land, that's you folks there, I'm looking at you.

45:59 , uh I have a question. was the particle velocity one coming down

46:07 the incident wave? OK. Do just decide that? Now the part

46:14 is a, this is a big and that volume is shaking up and

46:22 the particle right at the front right . This particle right here. It's

46:27 back and forth, back and back and forth as the whole volume

46:33 downward. That's the particle velocity you're at your particle velocity is actually moving

46:43 the wave. You might think it really, but it, in

46:48 that's how I think of it. , it it's not moving downward.

46:53 just has, it has a sign a uh here I said as far

47:04 particle velocity is concerned, if you in that direction, you're positive,

47:09 you move in that direction you're And so my transmitted wave, my

47:17 wave rather I had all positive It's a positive value. But when

47:24 reflected, I had to show opposite the particles move because it's negative

47:32 If I have a particle right it's moving in this direction. This

47:39 is moving in that direction. Zero right where the line of drawing you

47:45 I reflect this particle here is moving that direction and that's moving in that

47:53 with my reference line right there. turned the pulse upside down. When

48:01 reflected from this weak boundary, it's a rope. When you snap a

48:11 , it goes to a wall, gonna maintain the same positive signature.

48:17 if you snap it and one ends , it's gonna reverse polarity as the

48:22 comes back to you. That's the that I could think of.

48:39 OK. I saw the first It's your turn to solve the next

48:46 . OK. The seismic method will work. This has been a

48:56 It's conducted in Hollywood studio productions. make those, all those seismic

49:02 Yeah, that's what I'm gonna And I'll prove it. I'm going

49:08 start with an amplitude of one. reflection coefficient on all these boundaries is

49:20 no, the transmission coefficient is 0.91 0.1 is 0.9. So when I

49:31 into the second medium, my amplitude is 0.9 then when that goes into

49:37 next one, it's 0.9 times 0.9 and so forth and then it reflects

49:46 down here and goes back up. I'm going to have 50 bounces at

49:56 . So if I put an amplitude one going up, it has a

50:04 0.9. So you take that 0.9 you raise that multiply it by 50

50:11 . And that would be the amplitude down to this boundary and coming back

50:16 . So you're looking at a number 4, 10 thousands of the original

50:30 . That's small. That's less than . That's less than a half of

50:37 . That's like bio bionomics, Biden's plan. It's small, but we

50:46 a solution that you're gonna give me after the break. Let's come back

50:52 930. You got quite a watch . Surprise you're strong enough to hold

51:14 up. That's a big face. Yeah, I'll take a little

51:37 appreciate you bringing that in. I to thank you. You too.

52:41 I get out of here? I bring another follow up. Well,

52:50 know, pay attention to me. Friday. Would it be possible for

54:57 to take my Saturday quiz on Friday all three of them? Yeah.

55:03 . Yeah. Ok. Ok. . I lost everybody. You

56:31 you're gonna have to help me OK. Here's my, where I

56:39 be. OK, maximize it and it. I can hear this,

56:45 , the representative present. It, takes time it's loading. Ok.

56:53 me too. You can tell yeah, let the window and the

56:58 button at the same time. And was that you choose the no,

57:05 , no choose the the zoom meeting right here. Just, just click

57:12 zoom. You can, yeah, you can sh share. OK?

57:19 when you present the slide zero, screen two will come out. So

57:23 can this you have screen two and it. And then uh so tell

57:32 that that's it. OK. Did touch up there? Because you,

57:38 you didn't click the zoom meeting at first time. So it didn't

57:43 but if you click the zoom this will show up directly.

57:51 I think OK, folks can you me? You can't see me.

58:07 can see. No, you can one person. I have a

58:13 Well, or I don't know if a question though. I just trying

58:16 know if I am understanding correctly. does that mean that every time if

58:23 go back to your, it's like one that we were looking at,

58:28 ? Yes, that one. So that mean if we start with one

58:33 an amplitude of one and every time reaches or it passes through a layer

58:40 going to lose some of that energy it's some of that energy is transmitted

58:46 other is reflected right? And transmitted going to do the same. So

58:52 reflected and other is transmitted. But it goes back like the bottom

59:00 they transmitted this slide here. no, no, no. The

59:05 slide. Yes, that one. when it reaches the bottom a second

59:12 , let me get a little bit . Mhm When it reaches down

59:20 yes, the transmitted energy or the that goes to this layer is around

59:29 point 0.004 right. So that is same energy that needs to go

59:36 This is no, when you, you reach here, I'm going to

59:41 perfectly. The amplitude in this point refers to what it is when it

59:50 the surface. So 0.004 is what the surface. Yes. OK.

60:01 there's 25 layers on so going up down it's 50 layers. It says

60:09 it's 0.9 to the 50th par if interfaces. And so that is the

60:21 when you get up to there. so if you start with an amplitude

60:28 one, we're saying by the time get to the surface, that's gonna

60:35 0.004 which is less than 0.5%. , but isn't it going through 100

60:51 because it went down through 50 then through 50 well 50 interfaces. In

61:03 words, layer 123, so far go through 123 interfaces and I have

61:12 layers. I'm going through 50 50 So that's, and that's,

61:21 that's including just going down as 50 going down and up is 50 total

61:26 down to 25 and it's 25 going up. Oh, ok.

61:31 I was confused because it had the at that bottom layer on the bottom

61:36 . Yeah. But there, there's , there's something wrong with my logic

61:43 though and it, it's shown on next slide and the logic is

61:54 my reflection coefficient is 0.1 going down I come up this way, what's

62:06 reflection coefficient? It's not 0.1 it's 0.1. And the minus 0.1 means

62:16 transmission coefficient is going to be now minus a minus 0.1 or it's gonna

62:26 1.1. My wave is gonna get as it goes back up and how

62:33 bigger. Well, it's going to take that and uh one minus

62:41 it's 0.9. No, it's not it's two way is 0.99 that's going

62:50 , we're going back up. It's be 1.1 squared. And so when

62:55 get that, I think it's got be like 0.6. So the

63:01 the two, the two way travel one minus the reflection coefficient times one

63:08 the reflection coefficient. And that's When you go down, the transmitted

63:16 one minus the reflection coefficient. That's going up. It's one plus the

63:23 coefficient. And that turned out it's , that's gonna be 1.1.

63:29 so, so when it goes it kind of recovers some of that

63:36 that it was lost when he, was going down. Well,

63:42 you're not losing energy, it's the of the particle velocity, it's getting

63:49 . Mm The, when I go this boundary here, I have 10,000

64:04 this is 20,000 and what happened is and this is gonna be feet per

64:16 at the first boundary. Going, down to this next one, the

64:22 of that little box is going to much bigger. But then the particle

64:32 it gets smaller. I appear we when you go from fast to slow

64:56 box gets smaller. But the amplitude bigger. OK? We're out in

65:10 middle of the ocean and the tsunami 20,000 feet long, but it has

65:22 amplitude of only a half of an as that tsunami. That tsunami comes

65:31 a shallow bay. The length the goes from 20,000 ft to 100

65:40 And because it's only 100 ft long that shallow water, the amplitude becomes

65:49 in order to have the same energy of energy. So you, you

65:57 change the period, you can't change period, the wavelength will change period

66:03 the same this out in the mid , that wave is traveling 20,000 ft

66:10 second. But when he gets in bay, it's, you have to

66:16 100 ft per second. So what you do with all that water?

66:23 was a half an inch high. , it's gonna be 10 ft 20

66:28 high. It's only 100 ft So when I come down here my

66:39 pulse amplitude magnitude particle philosopher, it's smaller because the box is getting,

66:49 are getting bigger and bigger. The getting bigger as we're going downward.

66:54 therefore the particle velocity is smaller as go back up. What happens is

67:02 length of my, the length of box that's going back and forth.

67:09 getting smaller and smaller as I go the c uh as it gets smaller

67:14 smaller, the magnitude that this is particle has to get bigger because it's

67:22 whole mass of that box as it , it has to be considered.

67:29 your mass here is becoming very small you need a big particle velocity in

67:38 to have the same conservation of The, the thing that we did

67:44 , what I did wrong is the coefficient is 0.1 going down, but

67:53 up, reflection coefficient is minus And that enters in right over here

68:01 the transmitted. So the transmitted now one minus a minus 0.1 meaning that's

68:10 to 1.1. So when I go this boundary upward, whatever the,

68:18 the amplitude was in this boundary down . It's gonna get bigger by this

68:25 because that's basically because the volume is . Are you a geologist?

68:37 Are you a geologist? No. Yes, John just, they don't

68:49 anything. They just sit there. . Yeah. No, I'm just

68:54 no, I'm not. Ok. continue onward. So uh oh

69:05 no, no, I, I I'm good. So yeah, for

69:08 two way then you do the one R which was the 0.9 and then

69:16 one plus the one plus one, , you take the, take the

69:25 value of the reflection coefficient and call R. So one minus R one

69:29 R that's, that is, it give you the total two way.

69:35 other words, if I start with value one here, what's it going

69:39 be when I go through it and up? It's gonna be 0.99 not

69:49 . Is it, it's much bigger I'm sorry, I, I'm just

69:57 all the math. Uh So one , so T two for the two

70:04 time equals one minus one. Let's look at this one boundary,

70:15 The upper one, this is the amplitude when you go through.

70:24 Now, if I have an amplitude one right here going up, what's

70:31 , what's the transmitted pulse piur gonna , it's gonna be one 0.1 because

70:40 is one minus a minus 0.1. the reflection coefficient here is 0.1 going

70:49 way, but it's minus 0.1 if going that way, reflecting from the

70:57 is opposite from reflecting from the right? So what is our in

71:04 two way equation there? So the way equation here would be transmitted two

71:13 would be equal to this 0.9 times one you start with one here,

71:28 gonna get 1.1 on the other side 1.1. OK. OK.

71:35 Yup. Yup. And that's gonna 0.9 nine before it would have been

71:50 the way we were computing it. , that makes sense. Thank you

71:59 going through that. OK. Here's a little cartoon that Mike Raw

72:17 and uh he's a better cartoonist than am. It shows over here the

72:24 Model 8000 ft per 2nd 12. the way down here. It computes

72:30 reflection coefficient right beside it. And a cartoon wise shows you what the

72:35 coefficients are going from eight to the is a positive, going from 8

72:40 16 is a little higher and, so forth. And this is

72:48 this will be time going down that . So I take these and turn

72:53 the other direction. So this right is really that and this one right

73:00 is really that one. So that's reflection coefficients. Then we're gonna put

73:09 Wale on top every place that you a reflection we're going to add to

73:18 the wavelet. So this wavel right is gonna be assigned to this two

73:26 point two reflection coefficient. And so multiply this amplitude by 0.2. And

73:33 see that's this dot series right Now, when the wavelet propagating done

73:41 by this minus 0.2 that will be here that enters the summation chamber as

73:51 wavelength come on. OK. When it gets to the very big

74:13 amplitude here, 0.3 you have a bigger wavelet that's being added on.

74:21 , the lower one, it's a phase wavelength because you think of times

74:28 being right here, we we don't any seismic sources that are zero phase

74:39 you have action happening right here before zero. All our seismic wavelets are

74:49 minimum phase. When they start, , they have no motion until times

74:56 . And then most of the energy up front right there. Now,

75:03 we're going to do now is what does a seismic trace look

75:08 You will take this amplitude here and it to this amplitude and that will

75:15 us what the total sum would be this particular time, your dist adding

75:22 . And that is shown on this . So this light the blue dotted

75:29 dash line that is the summation of wages being involved with the reflectivity

75:39 The thing that's really interesting is that notice is that when you look at

75:44 zero phase, you see one, look at the peaks drop 23 individual

75:55 . And here on the seismic, were the reflections? 123 exactly.

76:03 they shown with a zero phase But a little less resolution, zero

76:08 wavelength has some bread. But on blue data find these three reflectors,

76:16 them on the blue outline. You find the three reflectors on the blue

76:24 for the zero face. So that why folks like to have zero phase

76:32 . When you get done, it better resolution, then if you keep

76:38 at minimum phase or any other again, you get to zero phase

76:49 seismic processing, that's where that is . And you validate its zero phase

76:59 making synthetic seismic grams with the zero wavelength on it. And you compare

77:04 to seismic data which we will do phase wavelets provide the maximum resolution over

77:13 wavelets with the same amplitude spectrum. somebody says here is the amplitude spectrum

77:21 this seismic data. And there's a spectrum that goes with that too in

77:27 to find a way to it. good lord, we're gonna need Mikey

77:35 Mike would say when your energy goes if theres a source, it goes

77:40 all types of physical mechanisms to get chance to beat on the poor seismic

77:48 . So it started off with a minimum phase wavelength by the time it

77:53 to the surface, it's looking pretty . It's lower in frequency and it's

78:02 any resolution. As Mike. Mike , this is where we go to

78:07 Jude's Processing Hospital. It's right off Saint James in Houston. Uh,

78:13 ever been Houston? Saint J, , uh, Saint Jude's and I

78:18 I just made that up my battery running. Do you know what I

78:29 discovered physical mechanism? You need to the battery in search? Oh,

78:42 surgeon. I solved it. my battery doesn't last long. I

78:52 at 830 oh hour and a Ok. Le le let's look at

79:05 things it could have been and if you take this type of a

79:15 and you think of involving it with spikes and then trying to find where

79:24 spikes are in the reflection coefficients on final product. Wow, that is

79:31 be ugly compared to one that made phase. Oh, but it,

79:37 , as you're traveling, we already the transmission losses. How that affects

79:45 . And now because it was in open medium, the energy spreads

79:54 Would you like to say 3 to and 60 degrees? So it decays

80:00 one over the distance you travel. the amplitude at 10 ft there is

80:06 lot different than through to 20 It's twice as big at 10 ft

80:11 than it is 20 ft. So called the geometrical spreading loss. And

80:20 there's something called attenuation. And there's types of attenuation. The intrinsic means

80:27 property the ross, if you had that were filled with air bubbles in

80:34 pores, you probably get a lot beating down the amplitude, the

80:43 then there's Q filtering, that's just mechanism to bring that amplitude back up

80:52 at the bottom. Right here, might have a small structure and they

80:57 what's called a Fornell zone reflection. means that wave going down only reflects

81:06 of the small area. If you have a small area to reflect

81:11 you don't get a big wave coming . Now we get into the nasty

81:18 . Anybody that's dealing with data from Texas Birmingham invasion, Delaware man,

81:29 crap. So everything is still OK. Connect your film usually pops

81:43 . I lose the picture. These really bad news in certain areas,

81:53 Basin Australia, really bad. Any that you have Vapo deposits you're gonna

82:03 into problems because shell to the terrible reflection really big. And once

82:14 get underneath it, small reflections don't a chance because it's still ringing back

82:20 forth and we will look at OK. That's the end of

82:30 Any questions on that? OK. all the physical mes mechanisms to which

82:39 way it is subjective. How is possible that a synthetic, which we

82:46 the word of before will match the . So let's examine this pro process

82:52 well ties. I like to tie well to my seismic data and we

82:59 use really thick cord. OK. with that, I'll call my colleague

83:07 , who knows how to set this up. Do you know when I

83:13 a bring up a powerpoint? He to hit this computer 20 times to

83:18 it to you at least 20 times for an old man 44 buttons for

83:24 paying attention. Yes, I am section 1.5 section 1.5 pertains to.

83:48 you using two D data or are using 3D data? What kind of

83:54 do you look like in your 3d. Anybody looking at two D

84:03 ? OK. Can you help I put this into powerpoint?

84:18 it should be a nice window and window and T tab OK. Now

84:25 the window that I want zoom. to zoom. This is right

84:30 I choose the zoom window and you share screen and share the screen and

84:36 the screen two and choose screen share it and then share it down

84:43 . Finished and I'm finished. Everybody to that. So next time he's

84:49 and you have to help me, better memorized it. OK. This

84:58 called a synthetic Seismo Gram. It's Cooper Basin. I would like to

85:16 a show of hands from the people nowhere land. Raise your hand.

85:23 you've ever used a synthetic seismic gram looked at one against seismic data.

85:28 your hand. Is that a Je Jessica? No. Ok.

85:37 that? I got a, proceed raise their hand. And is your

85:48 raise your hand button? Where? . Um You have a reaction side

86:02 the action. I have a chat I don't have a race and

86:10 We have different reactions. What's the that don't get touched? Just tell

86:17 here. Just more reaction. The , one, third. Very

86:26 Yeah. No. Uh you need go to see. Uh Yeah,

86:34 I got one and four. I Taylor and that's it. You

86:43 you can like Taylor and Taylor. I was just clapping for you because

86:51 got your hand raised. I I've used a synthetic. So all

86:56 OK. I'm we're gonna react in audience participation here. How may add

87:01 synthetic seismograms to match or to look you? Never even heard of it

87:08 you have. What do you think does? Does a geophysicist have that

87:19 to prove that they got something you have sort of like a well

87:27 Well, you look at seismic don't you? No, as a

87:33 , don't you look at seismic No. Who here does not look

87:39 seismic data anybody? 12. What you look at as a geologist?

87:47 ne Neuro theist. Oh I think , at work. Yes. What's

88:00 ? XRD? I have no idea that is on. What?

88:08 core analysis. OK. That I that word J is OK? You

88:13 look around. OK. Actually, you're looking for work and uh uh

88:28 find that. OK. For Dela to occidental and she doesn't work in

88:43 . OK. Oh, your She's management. She doesn't work with

88:50 . Uh she report OK. Nobody . Only tater would say he knows

88:57 about a synthetic or he just just not me. What's that?

89:04 me? I, I don't want seismograms. Just Prisa. OK.

89:15 , that's seismic data. You're looking folks, this is seismic data and

89:24 , this is a, well, was that, that data that was

89:29 from a well. So when they a well, do they go ahead

89:36 shoot seismic again around it? Where this come from? It disappears magically

89:47 the seismic data. You just gotta near the, well and hold up

89:53 camera or recorder and well, talk you. Well, that's what we're

89:59 try to answer where it comes I forget how we get this back

90:22 . OK. All right. Let's if we can do something with

90:30 Let's look at a mathematical model. likes a mathematical model for local

90:36 So I'm gonna start, here's a . I drill a well,

90:43 do, do, do, I'm deeper. So the voice gets lower

90:46 , do, do do do, . When I get done, I'm

90:51 to log that well. And by , it means I'm gonna, I'm

90:57 take a long piece of wire and it all the way to the

91:01 And on that wire is a tool that tool does a particular action that

91:08 talked about. There's a Sonic tool what the sonic tool does is to

91:15 you the sonic tool has a source there that goes and then down here

91:23 has a series of receivers in measures travel time it takes to go past

91:32 four receivers. That'll allow it to the velocity that you assign for this

91:40 . That's the medium velocity, the velocity 13,125 ft. But they don't

91:47 philosophy, they give you delta How do you get your delta

91:53 What's the magic number? A You take a million, you divide

91:58 the sonic time? 125 microseconds per . Take that into a million,

92:07 ft per second. They have a called a density tool. It shoots

92:17 material and it looks for things to off of Adams Dudley. And by

92:23 many bounces it gets, it sends back to the tools we count this

92:29 gamma rays. Therefore, here's your . So we have a tool to

92:35 velocity and density. Now we have tool that measures the radioactivity it's in

92:43 borehole. And that gives us a tool. We can tell SAN from

92:52 that type of talk. So here go ahead and I have velocity in

93:01 . I take the product, I acoustic and beans. So I can

93:05 a log as a function of depth acoustic and beads. Can you do

93:11 ? Yes, but you gotta pay day for that. OK. And

93:17 since you know the interval velocity you can take that and convert it

93:23 a function of time. So now gonna display it in time rather in

93:28 . Now, here's a hard We're gonna take that and repeat it

93:33 here. Oops and just just repeat . Now at each interface, we're

93:46 get a reflection coefficient. So I reflection coefficients. So now I kind

93:55 know where all these boundaries are here these are those big reflection coefficients.

94:04 I select a wavelet out of my and I start sticking, sticking it

94:12 here. You know you, how you stick it on her? You

94:14 draw the wavelet and your amplitude is amplitude of that reflection coefficient. And

94:24 you slide it down a little bit you put another label on depending upon

94:29 amplitude of that reflection to and then add horizontally and you come up with

94:36 seismic trace. So we have what is the wave exactly like?

94:46 you, where are you getting the . Ok. Great question. There

94:52 various sources that we can use to and start the seismic process there.

95:03 dynamite. And there's one called Vibber and Viber size is a big

95:09 60 ton truck that sits on the that's 4 ft by 4 ft.

95:18 that paddock is done, hits the and lifts the truck up. So

95:24 have £60,000 sitting on that four by path. Then that truck starts to

95:32 , move up and down. that path is gonna move up and

95:37 and it starts off. Hm. . And it increases in frequency.

95:43 it goes for a very low maybe five cycles per second. And

95:50 goes up to 100 cycles per So it goes up to in a

95:57 of 20 seconds. So that thing for 20 seconds continuously changing frequency from

96:05 to 100 Hertz. That pulse is seconds long. So you send a

96:12 in here, that's 22nd long. you look at frequency versus amplitude,

96:22 pulse was started five cycles and go to 100. But it doesn't

96:31 a long time period, 20 But you can't use a 22nd pulse

96:40 do expiration. It's gotta be So here's what the magic comes

96:46 You take that low frequency pulse started and it keeps getting higher and higher

96:57 and it goes from 5 to 100 and you take this in a processing

97:03 and you do what's called a cross and what it does, it'll take

97:09 that's 22nd long and convert it into that's only 20 milliseconds right here.

97:24 you go from 20 seconds to 20 , you've collapsed it 1000 times.

97:34 what have you done when you do cross correlation? It's a multiplication.

97:41 take this pulse, you put it the seismic data, you cross multiply

97:46 everything up as an output sample, it on one sample, do the

97:51 multiplication and it collapses. It correlates the seismic data. So that becomes

98:01 zero face pulse the times zero in middle. That's one way of doing

98:08 Gideon. Another way as you commend seismic data and you look at your

98:17 data right here and you say make a fourier transform convert this time sequence

98:25 frequency. It's called a fourier And you use that in order to

98:31 what the amplitude specter would be, we'll show a couple of those.

98:40 , this process that you have you get a seismic trace, a

98:46 seismic graph. That's this thing You have a wavelet in here.

98:52 this right here. And you have coal visions or was that? And

98:59 convolution is me taking this away but it down, putting all those ways

99:07 there and then some horizontally. That's convolution. No, this is idealistic

99:19 likely you're gonna get something that you this to be your idealistic. But

99:25 that threat? Well, right there should be also a fate in

99:30 right here, the way that remained same. But the reflection goldfish it

99:36 uh oh, when I compute this coefficient, I'm not only gonna be

99:42 at the vertical, up and down , I'm interested in what happens if

99:48 have a very far offset angle So all of a sudden the reflection

99:56 has the option of also being the of the incident angle. So that

100:02 every spot on the earth can have normal incidence angle and then they can

100:11 a source way out here that hits at a farther one. So that's

100:16 angles and then they can have one the middle. So you can have

100:22 different waves hitting this one spot. that would be this would be called

100:31 . You have illuminated the same point three different times. Now we're getting

100:48 goofy and tell you that seismic trace has a lot of things that has

100:57 happen to him. We gotta do and I call here's more realistic,

101:03 more realistic in that you have a component. And I have three of

101:08 right here. And what are those components? This one right here?

101:16 just didn't your waves spread out spherical it loses amplitude well in your

101:24 you gotta compensate for that. Didn't have transmission effects? When you

101:31 you got to compensate for that. . We'll do that. Well,

101:35 about this thing? Right over remember that airplane that flew overhead?

101:41 gotta compensate them that's sitting on the trace. Do you remember that great

101:47 gully that you just went by? know, the seismic ways reflected off

101:53 that gully, you gotta get rid that, it's on there. So

101:57 have all kinds of noise that's You're shooting in West Texas. Did

102:03 shut all the pumps down for you go across. Now in Russia,

102:08 used to do that. I, was talking to some of the Russian

102:12 business. He, oh he said God. When we shoot a

102:16 the railroad stops, they stop the for us. When we go through

102:22 , they stop the traffic. we're God and they're the mayor of

102:28 city. Sometimes they're the mayor, the president of the university that's in

102:36 city named Geophysics after geophysicists. So we have to do a lot of

102:46 in order to get this one here we want, we wanna find the

102:53 angle. We have to do a of corrections in processing and that is

103:01 some of the seismic processing is, to make it look like the real

103:06 this model here. So in you have to have a mathematical model

103:15 order to process seismic data. Because you see these various noises on the

103:23 , you have to say to is that adding or is that going

103:28 the way because you can have multiples part of the wavelet and you gotta

103:38 rid of it because this is where coming in and that's, that's a

103:43 type of processing scheme. So the for communi communicating rock properties from the

103:57 coefficients. And so which model should use? If you're shooting in

104:05 if you're shooting in the Gulf coast in your way out in the

104:12 there is no woods near you, no fences, fences carry electricity and

104:19 it carries electricity, 60 Hertz. there's a fence and there's barbed wire

104:24 it, you get a GIF phone that barbed wire, it's gonna have

104:30 that's by coming from pools and they travel miles. All has to have

104:37 telephone pole, car, electric car has to cross the fence somewhere and

104:45 travel miles. Ok. So if in that type of an environment,

104:51 have a good chance that you really have any contamination on your data.

104:58 fairly clean, small reflection coefficients in gulf coast. Young rocks,

105:10 no limestone, no hearts streak velocity as a function of depth or you

105:23 have a wavelet that's time varying. what might that be? Well,

105:32 you're in once again in the Gulf what could happen is some of your

105:40 will attenuate the signal a bit and called intrinsic attenuation. We will identify

105:50 . Now, you could be again the same area. And now not

105:56 they have a little bit of intrinsic , this is something you want to

106:01 . You want the far incident angle have a different reflection coefficient than the

106:11 you need a better explanation. Remember of you when you're eight years

106:17 where am I heading? When I seven or eight years old, what

106:19 you a champion at? When you to the lake throwing stones? So

106:25 threw the stone with your arm parallel the lake and it skipped, that

106:31 80 degree angle. Then you took stone and you try to kill a

106:37 through that stone straight down. That's zero degree angle. So between zero

106:44 and 80 degrees skipping stones, you different reflection coefficient artists. And then

106:54 you're looking for the Austin shock, still in the Gulf coast, you

106:59 be the first limestone that you You're gonna be looking for fractures and

107:05 happen to be in the reflect reflection services is where they belong.

107:13 The whole idea is to take your data and ask yourself what model do

107:20 have. And that's going to tell how we're going to have to process

107:31 processing goal, remove unwanted earth effects yield the idealistic model. And I

107:39 you say, I don't wanna hear math, but gosh, darn,

107:43 the processing geophysicist doesn't understand a little of math, you need to talk

107:49 somebody else because the algorithms they It's very important. He might,

107:56 , that low frequency. I'm just filter that. No, you're

108:00 you filter that you're gonna destroy the . So we need to find

108:08 So, Fred, what's this definition a well type? I think there's

108:15 very famous professor that used to be at the University of Houston called Bob

108:21 . Anybody ever hear of Bob Sheriff ? The Sheriff lecture? Have

108:28 OK. Bob wrote a book. probably the best publication that the SCG

108:40 put out. It's an encyclopedia all the Geophysical names he has definitions

108:50 . It's a thick book over years years. So any name Geophysical you're

108:58 of, he has definitions and some terms. So in his encyclopedia

109:04 a well typed seismic events on the synthetic that correlate with formations on low

109:16 . That is a time. See peak right there. That is the

109:37 of Wilcox C one sand. That's well T and this reflection is associated

109:47 AC one Wilcox say that is a time. Now you're gonna hear about

109:53 shot surveys and some of your folks your office are gonna use a check

109:57 survey which gives you the time death and is gonna come in and try

110:03 . No, no, no. of that C one according to my

110:06 shot survey occurs at 2.04 seconds and put a little nick there and say

110:13 the top of it. No, , no. Check out,

110:16 we get you close. But the answer is with the synthetic, that's

110:22 it remains because check shot did not a kicking a cop. All the

110:27 surface effects. OK. Sorry for rude. Interrupted by Fred. I

110:35 have a question. So when, choosing the wavelength for the to generate

110:42 synthetic size program, what would, would be better to pick a wavelength

110:49 is the phase or to extract the from the seismic? You got

110:58 you, you, you hit it on it, you extract the wave

111:02 from the seismic and you, if not zero face, you make it

111:06 face. In other words, you a phase correction, you filter and

111:12 can apply a phase correction and change to zero phase from the, the

111:18 from the seismic. Yes. The that you get from the seismic,

111:24 then go ahead and wanna make that phase. So now this is an

111:35 when you shoot a 3D and you it, you tell the processing company

111:43 you want that to be final And the processing company should be responsible

111:50 take a synthetic extract wavelets and make correction. So those waves will become

111:59 face the next time you try to the wavelet and their choice.

112:06 some cat, they say no, want to be left in minimum

112:10 bless their souls and fine as long you know what that phase is,

112:17 you can search it and we'll, show methods of doing it.

112:23 OK. Thanks the problem. If hy if the hydrocarbon target is a

112:38 change, then the reflection coefficient reflectivity change spatially as the porosity changes

112:48 But what happens when the wavelength is varying and also change spatially due to

112:58 changes in acoustic and beams and shallower . This is difficult because you're asking

113:10 process data and change it quickly as spatially go down the road. And

113:18 , that is a difficult but very problem and that you can change it

113:27 quickly and introduce a pseudo prosy So what you process, you gotta

113:35 leery, what's there and now you're it, quantify time varying wavelets from

113:48 well log curves and provide processors the parameters for decon Q. In version

113:57 the specter mouth get back to high and analysis of statics. Wow and

114:05 before processing starts try to go ahead make these predictions. You avoid interpretation

114:14 . Later on. In some we show that the parameters that you

114:21 for de convolution, which is right front can be totally wrong. Because

114:27 didn't look at the wall law that had there looking at that.

114:32 log before you can tell you how do decom, we will talk about

114:40 near surface shapes. The wavel. we take a break? Five

114:50 Ok. Let's, let's give you 10 minute break. We've been five

114:54 before. So come back about 20 to 11, mid morning.

115:23 uh, you know what? Do you know as you get

115:30 you get to be here. You what dementia is? You lose your

115:38 . Alzheimer's due to Alzheimer's disease. you most. As I know when

115:50 get home, you sorry for your to remember. Yeah. How much

115:58 brother beat me up? Ok. . So that means I have short

116:11 memory, right? Do you know would help me? And probably other

116:18 too as if you took the time wrote down the steps that you have

116:28 the buttons you have to push in for me to visit them and they

116:34 see the screen a proper way. that possible? No, you gotta

116:41 what you're doing. I don't know I'm doing. That's why I asked

116:46 . Can you do it? Think them? You don't have to give

116:55 an answer. No, you might to tell me that because one day

117:00 gonna have to tell your Children. , I wanna give a quiz purpose

118:38 pop dump. So I'm gonna have show one. Sure. No,

118:49 you have to drink. So is he what? Let me give you

118:58 chance. So, so every time show the slide, you just go

119:05 it first and share the. So you want your your students camera

119:17 So you need to yeah, share screen. So it on the computer

119:23 is a screen to. So you this one is your spring one and

119:28 two. OK? Now you need like if you need to open,

119:35 switch to zoom, you you can press the window and select zoom and

119:43 so go to so you have you need to find a share

119:50 then the then you share share So only when you present your

119:56 you will have screen too and then when you select your screen to to

120:02 to share, you will see this instead of your screen. OK?

120:08 that's it. No problem. And want to just and this whole part

120:16 help you adjust the range of OK? Thank you this little bit

120:32 the right because if you move to to the right, it was showed

120:40 the screen to. So if you to close here, you will see

120:48 will block, it will be OK? Yeah. Gotcha. Thank

120:57 . You're welcome. You know what answer to that one is? Be

122:07 Democrat. No, no, that's the fifth. No, but

122:54 oh, you know, II I , I miss not having a news

123:00 . I could believe the political What they say, fuck me.

123:05 is terrible. Yeah, but you know, like they say now

123:32 winning party is gonna be that party has the most money the at

124:26 Answer the question, please. this is a, this is a

124:35 believe one. Wow, you, got a dangerous situation with all those

124:50 . Think about electrocuting. They just that they have a new mechanism

124:55 to kill you now. Nitrogen. my God. 20 minutes to die

125:01 25 minutes. I don't know what is to suffocate you. They put

125:09 in your veins. I don't God, I'd just rather have a

125:17 . Yeah. This, you don't to turn this one in, but

125:21 gonna have one to turn in a . But what, what do you

125:24 the answer is on it? Is there in the other world? Can

125:28 hear me? No? Yes. . You hear me? Ok.

125:37 you see the screen? Yeah. . And I tell you what number

125:44 is not to be a democrat. not the answer to be a democrat

125:49 not the answer to number five or or socialist. Number five is

126:00 Yes, you got it. Right on the note. No.

126:04 ? There isn't the number five It's very obvious everybody forgot about

126:11 What is the obvious thing to be ? You got to get elected?

126:22 ? That's ok. Ok. I'm ready for the quiz now here's

126:31 real quiz. No reply on your page. Put the numbers 12 and

126:46 . So you might think on your you're gonna have the numbers 12 and

126:53 and besides 12 and three, you're have the letters T or F or

127:00 or false? Mhm. Wow. . Start sending your emails in,

131:00 . Anthony I Robbie and your name ? Ok. That's crazy. It

132:00 . That's a what you want? . Ok. Ok. Everybody email

132:57 . I'm noticing the time now. have, um, 10, 1048

133:11 . Any emails that can pass 1050 do not, I will not

133:17 So we got about 30 seconds to it even. That's 1050 1050.

133:31 . Dated. Ah, are we in from the audience here?

133:57 Everybody down here. Ok. Time's audience there. 1050 if I'm not

134:04 , I don't want them. Ok. Anybody have trouble with the

134:21 ? No, so we're all together . Ok. Number one short

134:44 Multiples make the seismic wave it Anybody want to take a guess on

134:49 . Yeah. So it's 50% chance being correct. Just the opposite.

134:58 make them longer short period, short period multiples are normally detected only

135:06 the shallow reflection events. Just the once the short period multiples on it's

135:15 on. So once, once it in there, you're, it's gonna

135:20 forever. So they accumulate and you more deeper you go and the more

135:27 you go, the lower the frequency it's making the wavelengths longer and

135:32 Long as in long period, multiples to amplitude scale for the reflections.

135:40 means opposite of short, you gotta a long distance before you hit a

135:48 . That will be considered a bounce and forth. And we'll see long

135:54 multiples create new events on the So the top of the Wilcox,

136:03 be another event right beneath it. a multiple from up shallow short period

136:11 distort the seismic wavelength make it fatter something we don't want. OK.

136:26 Does that mean that three is We're true. All, all three

136:32 false. Nobody got the perfect So that might be everybody feels good

136:41 . So if you, you got least one out of the three.

136:48 , so the scores are gonna be or two. I can tell you

136:53 we're guaranteed to get either a one a two. Uh at least for

136:57 ones that I read so far. course, this audience might not represent

137:04 real public. OK. Um Let's our second quiz off done right now

137:18 . Oh And this oh Hold it might want to be reading, reading

137:22 paper during lunchtime for the second So I won't, I won't do

137:28 now. Ok, I stopped Ok, I hit that.

137:43 And bringing me back. Ok. , I don't know what I'm doing

138:00 the window windows and share the sweet . Share the sweet screen two sha

138:36 . People see me. Hear Good. Good, good,

139:01 Let's see what type of wavelets you put into the ground. So this

139:07 an exercise sketch, what your ideal source wave? It looks like.

139:19 you draw me a sketch of This, I've got something here.

139:28 don't know why. So what, this for man in the back?

139:33 this one for? Oh It's for it's done. What's that? It's

139:53 . It's done. Yeah. I got that. Yeah.

139:59 I think it's, I think it might, if it falls

140:01 I'll let you know. Can you ? Yes. OK. Remember there's

140:10 energy source that creates a symmetric zero wavelet strictly in the field. Viber

140:18 requires cross correlation processing to produce the phase wavelength. So this is not

140:26 realistic wavel it because it says at particular time right here, I got

140:33 amplitude of this or an amplitude of or an amplitude of that at one

140:39 , you cannot have three app because only can display one. So that's

140:44 a realistic, go ahead and draw you think is a realistic seismic way

140:50 you're proud of it. Hold it and let me take a look.

140:56 me see yours. Jessica. You came online the seismic way to put

141:01 in front of the camera, All right. No voice control and

141:10 draw one. Anybody have one that want to put in front of

141:16 in front of the uh screen. don't see any Carlos. I can't

141:24 see you. OK. Kelly, have to hold it still. You

141:32 move it back and forth. If can't see it on the camera on

141:36 screen. I can't either. So, why, what are you

141:40 ? You're making me blind. I'm ready. Oh, ok. First

141:50 zero. That's symmetrical. First time on the waver. Is it the

142:00 on the far left? It starts . Ok. Yeah. Ok.

142:03 , great. Anybody else? Kelly has a good way that she's

142:06 best so far. Anybody else? . 0000, Taylor had a

142:14 not bad at all except you got , you got the wave.

142:19 sit sitting up in the air since wave it doesn't, amplitude doesn't come

142:23 zero. That means the geophones is 10 inches above the ground. You

142:30 bring it to the ground. Anybody ? Ah. Oh, good.

142:38 pretty. Kelly took out. What you call that little dots? Gray

142:45 junkie. The post it note. , the note. That's good.

142:50 get one. Ok. In my here. Let's see. Oh you

142:57 , if you can't see it on screen, you can't have zero

143:01 I told you that I take your away from you. Now you,

143:05 can't be symmetrical. Go ahead, he had on you. Oh That

143:13 like that is good. Good We just, we're gonna go,

143:22 gonna take a walk around the room to see how the audience here does

143:52 Bill? Oh They get that out the possible. Oh You're very

143:59 You by your side. Pyrosis. it's not a bad idea. This

144:05 not a, that, well, How much? Mhm OK.

144:34 Oh A OK. OK. Mhm . But it's not ideal. So

144:51 an ideal fibrosis? Oh That's not . If you hit him, it's

144:58 bad. Slice it. Bring it the very end though. Why would

145:04 still love to grow? There you . Good human. OK.

145:44 it was OK. OK. Correct. So that your limb

146:07 I'm back. Do you miss No? OK. OK. Here's

146:16 that's uh might be considered a nice . Seismic W and I think I've

146:24 to you to this one before. is a seismic wave that where you

146:29 energy into the ground before what's really times zero. See times zero on

146:37 would be right here and this is hammer, putting a hammer as an

146:47 source. Anybody ever see students put steel plate on the grind, take

146:54 sledgehammer then hit that steel plate and that as the energy source. And

146:59 , it looks something like this. is this though? What is

147:08 I'm saying that you put energy into ground and yet it's before times

147:16 How did you do that? Think how your body reacts when you're hitting

147:24 steel plate. The guys especially, wanted to be the super shocked

147:32 So they take that sledgehammer, they it over their head. They take

147:37 deep breath and they start bringing that hammer down to hit the plate.

147:42 as they do that, they get on their tippy toes. And as

147:47 as they get up on their tippy , they've taken pressure off the

147:53 And that's what you're seeing is the swinging, it is going up off

147:59 toes, taking weight off the ground therefore putting energy into the ground before

148:06 zero. The same used to be weight drop. They take a £6000

148:16 of concrete or metal and especially in Texas, the flat land that pulled

148:24 6 ft off the ground and then it. And when they hit the

148:29 boom, that was their energy Same way as soon as you release

148:35 , you took weight off the tires that put a pulse into the

148:42 So estimate the way of spectrum. put this one on. I asked

148:47 the question before. And just to folks I've taken and I put two

148:55 pulses in here. I have this right here and this one right here

149:02 then these have different amplitudes. And over here this is the same

149:09 low frequency. And what, what notice is notice that the shape of

149:16 pulse is the same as the one beside it. Except this one right

149:25 is you take this pulse and you it on either side, making it

149:33 , but essentially it has the same . No, let's see how this

149:39 done here is the frequency spectrum, that and when you have pulses that

149:49 the same amplitude right in here in frequency domain. And this is where

149:56 describe the pulse that you want. not a flat spectrum. If you

150:02 for a flat spectrum, your low pulse here is gonna be smaller then

150:09 high frequency right here. So it sort of a little development what's happening

150:17 . The other thing I said, high frequency is the same shape pulse

150:25 the low. And how is that ? Take the 10 multiply it by

150:32 40 take the 30 multiply it by . They have the same bandwidth and

150:42 . What's an octave? 5 to ? That's one octave, another octave

150:48 to 40 another octave 2 to Oh wow, 248 16.

150:56 you get two, 46, you three octaves and that low frequency.

151:05 , this is why a warning processors a tendency of making quote the seismic

151:13 look good bye. Applying a low filter. I mean, a low

151:22 off filter, they get rid of low frequency and when they do

151:27 they make it difficult to get 23 because you might not put 100 Hertz

151:37 in the ground. People cut the off at 30 Hertz, nothing below

151:42 Hertz, 3061 to Wow, you get two octaves. So what does

151:48 mean? If you have a it's only one octave. Y save

151:55 10 to 20 Hertz. What is pulse gonna look like? 10 to

152:00 Hertz? Ask it another way, ? OK. What if I put

152:06 pulse in the ground that I said 15 Hertz. What was that?

152:11 it just 15 Hertz? What would pulse look like? What does a

152:19 Hertz pulse look like? Now we, we have those, you

152:25 60 Hertz on seismic data all the . And where does that come

152:32 Getting by a fence? A wire ? And what does that p look

152:37 on a seismic data? It's just Sinoa pick, pick, pick

152:43 same amplitude top to bottom. There's resolution. If that reflects off of

152:51 , a boundary, you can tell boundary it's on because area boundary has

152:56 same continuous. So it says if go from 15 Hertz and it's infinitely

153:06 . What, about 14 to 16 ? All right. That's not much

153:12 than the 15 Hertz going to 14 16. Pretty much the same with

153:17 to 16 Hertz. This same as , 13 to 17. Oh,

153:27 we're gonna reach a goal. how will you keep telling me?

153:31 the same. OK. 10 to Hertz between 10 to 20 Hertz is

153:38 octave. 10 to 20 2 to is one octave. They both had

153:47 same shape, wavelength except one squeezed , of the, of the

153:54 So if you squeeze the 2 to Hertz, you're gonna end up looking

153:59 a 20 to 40 Hertz, same only squeezed. My goal is to

154:11 you never want anything. That's less two octaves. Never because it rings

154:18 , as I say that you never less than two octaves. Think about

154:23 processor quote that cleaned up your which is low frequency ground rule by

154:30 all the low frequency. Just put filter. There's nothing, nothing in

154:34 data below 30 hertz. And I've this, I'm dealing with it

154:39 Nothing in there lower than 30 Well, one octave is 30 to

154:46 . The source didn't put anything above . That means you got it.

154:50 gonna be ringing just because it's 30 , right? That doesn't matter.

154:55 what is the band was in? . Always strive no less than two

155:05 . And what does that say? ? Don't you dare put a

155:10 You get rid of all my low . That's what we strive for because

155:14 gives you the shape of the Sharp 1941. He came in,

155:22 said here is you're looking at maybe idea of pulse and before we actually

155:29 sharps idea, wait, look, came from Buick Dick, professor uh

155:36 out in California and here's what he . A wavelet has no DC

155:45 What does DC value mean? Anybody hear of that? What would be

155:49 DC value? Direct current? And what is direct current? It's

155:57 , alternating current AC, right. what is direct current? One frequency

156:04 Hertz flat. And what does that to this? Add all the amplitudes

156:12 , add them all together and it add up to zero. If it

156:18 , you got a, a non wavelength, it doesn't exist, it

156:25 to have at least three lobes. anybody that stopped right there and didn't

156:30 these that can't happen. You have have at least three in order to

156:36 outward as a spherical wave. Other , the wave that should be minimum

156:44 , all wavelets to propagate in the are minimum phase, even the fiber

156:50 pulse that you put in the it's still minimum phase, that's all

156:57 . It should be causal. In words, nothing should happen before time

157:03 zero. So when you hit the , it's, it's a real

157:10 but it's actually minimum phase. But have to adjust what times zero is

157:17 the person is a big fat person a sledgehammer and when they get off

157:21 ground, whoa, the ground pops and sets a Waba. So here's

157:31 of the things that sharp said we a greater reflection amplitude if the charge

157:39 in clay rather than in a limestone , speaking of a hole, this

157:46 dynamite. Now you'll get a larger on the second shot in the same

157:56 . Low frequency, here's one low reflections you'll get when you shoot in

158:02 low velocity layer. What is the velocity layer has anybody in here than

158:09 mechanics. What's the earth made Geologist? You're always talking about how

158:14 , you know, the earth you make the GIF as as if,

158:18 the thickness of the earth? What's name of the films that are 40

158:22 deep? And what's the next one that? I don't know. So

158:27 the earth, what happens first, from the surface? Tell me a

158:33 and tell me what you have in there. If you go

158:37 go out up to Lufkin Texas and 60 ft. What are you gonna

158:41 ? What are you gonna have per ft? What's that? You can

158:50 clay? Anybody else? How rich gonna be? What kind of a

158:57 ? Do you think it's gonna What type of velocity would you say

159:01 1st 60 ft? What's that? me a number for slow? But

159:11 think you never, you went to , don't go negative or?

159:16 or time 10? Ok. He 2000 ft per second. That's,

159:23 a, that's a typical velocity. this should be called the weathering

159:28 the weathered material. That's what normally like to find a, you can

159:34 weathered clay. Ok? It's still be slow. A lot of

159:40 There's no water table. If you a water table, your velocity starts

159:44 go up. Now, after the zone, you get into the sub

159:51 and then where would your velocity go the way? 2000 ft per second

159:56 a typical velocity for uh Lufkin area I talked about. Then when you

160:02 below 60 ft, you get into clay, the blue clay, what's

160:07 velocity? Then it goes from 2000 6200 ft per second. Big big

160:14 change said the note. The idea is there a saint is if you

160:21 your shot in that low velocity which is your first one, it's

160:26 to lose a lot of its And if you go to the sub

160:33 , you get higher frequency, low shots bring more than sub weathering

160:42 Larger charges have lower frequency. You keep adding charge the pond after pond

160:51 ton, you're just not gonna have in 100 Hertz. You're gonna be

160:56 to the five and six Hertz dominant because the explosion won't come back in

161:08 velocity layer. You ever hear of ? Is there any other low velocity

161:14 ? You know, nobody ever heard another? No, I,

161:22 let's see. And you're your you say, huh? You're not

161:27 . If you can't tell me real , where is the other low velocity

161:32 ? I guess they don't teach plate anymore. Is it the moo?

161:39 that? Is it the moo? , it's not the moo I don't

161:49 it is. Anybody ever hear of stoere. What is it? That's

162:06 . No. Uh well, something about it and plate tectonics, isn't

162:12 a low velocity layer that the plates across? Isn't it called this the

162:22 that plates above it? Am Am I wrong? Did they change

162:29 ? Ok. In other words, got a low velocity layer. Anybody

162:40 familiar, familiar with a term called submarine? Anybody heard the term

162:51 Anybody ever hear of the sonar Anybody ever heard a low velocity layer

163:00 water? What it is is the slowly increases with depth. Then all

163:08 a sudden there is this big lower and then it continues again. If

163:17 put a charge in this low velocity , what happens is the energy can't

163:26 , it becomes trapped? Low velocity , trapped energy, it reaches critical

163:32 reflections. It's like a bugle It just resonates. So what's the

163:43 in that flip? If you take of dynamite and you go offshore Florida

163:51 you put that dynamite at stay 400 and you detonated, you can go

164:06 miles away, six miles away and barely hear it at £10 of

164:13 If you take that £10 of dynamite you put it in the Sonar

164:19 they will hear, hear it or in Miami, they'll hear it in

164:24 . If they have a hydrophone in , they will hear that the energy

164:29 trapped and this continues expanding our That's why the submarines have to be

164:37 when they go through this. Absolutely sign whatsoever because it will go all

164:42 way around the world. That's so that's one, any other low

164:50 layers, any country folks here, raised in the country, anybody and

165:04 there raised in the country, I had a ranch which is outside

165:13 town of Lexington. My nearest neighbor two miles away. So there wasn't

165:20 lot of noise at night time. could sit outside every so often and

165:26 could hear the neighbors talking two miles . What happens? There is a

165:35 velocity layer that is right, could right by the nearest surface and as

165:40 talk, you can hear it all way if the atmosphere and temperature are

165:46 right. You get the sign in new low velocity it goes everywhere around

165:53 it's really spooky that you can hear music they're playing, you know,

165:57 miles away that the, is there other low velocity layers? You can

166:05 of, think of big bombs going , think of atomic bombs. What

166:13 the Las Vegas popular for in the fifties? Was it the entertainment?

166:21 do they sell in Las Vegas? sold atomic bombs being detonated. They

166:29 initially they were published when the atomic are gonna be going off and they

166:34 all these tourists coming in to watch atomic bombs going off. Now,

166:43 , they were asked when that first bomb went off, who should we

166:49 people about? So the government put these ground stations from zero 40 miles

166:59 or so and these were microphones and were set to try to listen and

167:07 listen for the atomic bomb when it off in Las Vegas is 8060 miles

167:16 from uh atomic bomb explosions. And guarantee the people in Las Vegas that

167:31 and her saying no problem. So 30 miles away can't hear us.

167:37 you're 60 miles away. There's no was it turned out there was a

167:43 velocity layer and what happened was energy like this. It doesn't get out

167:55 here was 30 miles from where the went off right here, Las Vegas

168:04 60 miles away. So when that went off, the energy went

168:08 came back down. Initially, it windows out of all the skyscrapers that

168:15 just devastated them tremendous noise. And another low velocity layer. So we

168:21 low velocity layers all over the place energy gets trapped. Now, here's

168:31 problem, dig a hole or make a cavity detonated and tell me what

168:40 the seismic wave look like at a far away and go ahead and define

168:48 wave velocity, shear wave velocity and . That was 1941 sharp wasn't quite

168:56 uh variable, but it's good And since that time, many published

169:02 P wave in sheer way both could in rather than just a ratio.

169:08 here's the result I gave you the and, but we don't need the

169:14 . The size of the dynamite charge off, the size of the cavity

169:19 off. And here is some where shoot in the weather zone. In

169:25 words, and left in there, put the dynamite at 30 ft rather

169:32 below at 100 ft. Big 2000 ft per second. You look

169:42 the spectrum in the spectrum right here a high amplitude at 25 Hertz right

169:57 . And this is the pulse. , this is the pulse of the

170:04 outward at, I forget what distance at. And you'd say oh that's

170:08 a bad looking false. Now, right here, you're gonna go up

170:14 this value and then down and that's minimum phase wavelet. Now, let's

170:20 ahead and put the shot in the weathering layer. Go down to,

170:27 beneath the weathering zone. Now, at the spectrum there, that little

170:33 is at 158 Hertz. It basically up to 100 Hertz, you got

170:40 flat spectrum. That's kind of Look at the wavel that you get

170:46 and three. So you go up you say, well, Fred,

170:51 not much different than this. But a look at the distance the

170:58 That's five milliseconds, that's 50 that's very low frequency to put into your

171:05 data. It says 50 milliseconds between and to pigs. You know,

171:14 20 Hertz data. You want something what's on the right hand side?

171:25 . Um What time do we normally ? We go to 12 or go

171:32 ? Well, I, I went 1130 last time but it's up to

171:36 . Should we go to uh 12 ? People say they don't care what

171:46 Jessica says 1230. The maid comes then. Ok. Does she cook

171:54 for you too? Lunch. The . What does your maid cook?

172:01 dinner? Me? Yeah, I have a maid but my husband does

172:07 me dinner when I'm in class. . Does it really? Yes.

172:11 , uh, it's 630 over So it's about dinner time. Where's

172:16 there again? Yeah. Well, , you're not a country girl,

172:21 you? Ok. Do you know I'm from California? Ok.

172:26 you said something about mills that tells you're not from the country. Can

172:32 know what it is? What did call? I said dinner and not

172:41 . Very good. Very good. is lunchtime. Supper is the evening

172:48 . Uh, and that is uh the country. Uh Speaking, who

172:56 ? Let me tell you about What does intrinsic mean? Anybody know

173:01 intrinsic means? I, I I have an idea means, doesn't

173:08 anybody know what forensic means. Well, I, you should ask

173:25 , as I told you before, , I speak seven different languages.

173:31 outstanding, isn't it? Hm. one's understood though. I don't know

173:41 I have to look that up. look at Mobile did in the

173:50 This is a very difficult experiment to correct, really difficult trying to measure

174:01 in the field. And they went the Pierre shale and they drilled the

174:08 down to 750 ft. So here 123456 holes that they drilled and they

174:17 geophones clamped to the side of the and they had a shot went down

174:23 250 ft. All of these were close together within 40 ft. So

174:32 were looking at as the wave propagated . They're looking at measuring the vertical

174:40 attenuation. There were no boundaries, changes. It's a pure material.

174:46 pure show very thick homogeneous and so the shallow shot in the 350

174:55 there's the pulse that they recorded at there's the pulse that they recorded.

175:02 , it may might look like these are the same. But that box

175:08 that's in orange is the same width bo both of those. And notice

175:13 left side is on the peak and left side is on the peak.

175:17 you could see the little small bit the pulse getting fatter on the deeper

175:24 right here. See here that left went right through the trough here.

175:31 left boundary to the waver, it's little lower frequency intrinsic attenuation. It's

175:40 of set up uh in a harmonic of thing. You might say amplitude

175:48 a distance next is equal to the at zero zero with Beaver who shot

175:56 with the source and it decays E the minus alpha of XX is the

176:02 you travel alpha is the attenuation So in this experiment, we could

176:09 each one of these amplitudes and also spectrum. But the thing is

176:17 this is not simple to be able put six different geophones at six different

176:25 and say their couplings are the same how do you test it? They're

176:31 same. Oh You can send a wave down or something like that,

176:36 it doesn't give you the coupling factor , really difficult. Now, when

176:45 take the natural log of this, see that the natural log of ace

176:51 X is the natural log of ace zero minus alpha X. Oh,

177:01 , doesn't that remind you of an Y is equal to the intercept,

177:06 slope times the distance travel. So distance traveled, you know what that

177:11 be? You can measure this distance it's 100 ft. This will be

177:17 ft difference. And the natural log X that's just measure the amplitude.

177:24 the natural al. So you're searching two parameters here, you're searching for

177:33 and M. So we'll go ahead plot the data and when we do

177:41 , you'll see this is an expression alpha and that E to the minus

177:47 equation. And this is an expression the frequency of the WAV, different

177:58 dance took these waves and a 48 so that they have amplitudes from them

178:07 to 205 100 Hertz. No, have the measurements they give here.

178:18 this is that slope right there. attenuation is in DB per 1000

178:27 Decibels natural log ace of X over of zero ace of zero ace of

178:34 . And we go ahead and if know this line right here. We

178:39 went down to 25 Hertz and let's go ahead and find out what

178:46 slope is gonna be. And that's of given up with this equation.

178:52 there's another one alpha radar, we to express it in what's called Q

179:02 Q is what's normally given. When talk about the attenuation, they call

179:08 constant queue. The Q is the for all frequency. Now, here

179:14 where the biggie comes in. If look at that, what right here

179:20 plot, we see that alpha as function of frequency, that this line

179:29 alpha, the frequency, the first this other line in here is alpha

179:38 to the 1.1 it is not frequency . So this is the best

179:44 Why is this so important? Because this time, a gentleman from Exxon

179:51 Ricker Roman Ricker published his results on and his all said attenuation is a

180:00 of frequency squared. He was the of Geophysics at the time and he

180:07 two major articles in Geophysics. And was considering this is the best theoretical

180:14 results that we have Mobile contradicted all way it's its frequency to the first

180:23 , not the second Mobile did not this for publication. They held it

180:29 for two years until, until Norman was no longer the editor of the

180:34 Geophysics. Then they submitted it and got published it was quite the controversy

180:40 the time I wasn't around but it no. Why do we have cues

180:49 important? Because after mobile, the part, it says that constant Q

181:01 it's independent of frequency, the Q . It's the first power Q is

181:09 fir alpha is the first power relationship is a becomes constant then and it's

181:18 much easier to deal with. So we hear in literature is constant

181:24 we, we s say intrinsic attenuation constant. QE Thank you.

181:35 if you have a cue that is we'll give you a physical example.

181:45 that means? That means the wavelength 10% of its amplitude for every wavelength

181:54 it travels. So if there's a that's 10 ft, you travel 20

182:01 , you decay 0.9 0.9 due to attenuation. Those who I want to

182:16 , what are the key values here a, an approximation that a lot

182:23 the processing geophysicists used in order to the high frequency back up, they

182:29 assume Q is proportional to velocity squared by a million. That's an

182:39 But it's one that was used by geophysicists. I'll tell you what I

182:53 20 to 12. Let's come back 20 to 1 because this is brand

182:58 material that have to stop right in . So back at 20 to

183:04 OK, Jessica, you might have call your maid to, to hold

183:10 lunch, get right on
