Projecting horizontally from near the bottom of the drive shaft are a set of blades stirring through the porridge in which they are immersed and via which air is pumped and distributed into the porridge.
Patent NZ-575497-A (NZ)
Title: Iterative inversion of data from simultaneous geophysical sources
Inventor: KREBS JEROME R
IPC: G01V1/28
Filed: 2007-09-11
Abstract: A computer-implemented method for inversion of measured geophysical data to determine a physical properties model for a subsurface region is disclosed. The method can be implemented using a single vibrator truck moved sequentially to multiple locations, or two or more vibrator trucks are operating simultaneously with different encoded sweeps in close enough proximity that the survey receivers record combined responses of all vibrators. A group of two or more encoded gathers of the measured geophysical data is obtained. Each gather is associated with a single generalized source or, using source receiver reciprocity, with a single receiver, and each gather is encoded with a different encoding signature selected from a set of non-equivalent encoding signatures. The encoded gathers in the group are summed by summing all data records in each gather that correspond to a single receiver (or source if reciprocity is used), and repeating for each different receiver, resulting in a simultaneous encoded gather. A physical properties model of the subsurface region is assumed and the model provides values of at least one physical property at locations throughout the subsurface region. An update is calculated to the assumed physical properties model that is more consistent with the above simultaneous encoded gather. The calculation involves one or more encoded simultaneous source forward (or reverse) simulation operations that use the assumed physical properties model and encoded source signatures using the same encoding functions used to encode corresponding gathers of measured data. An entire simultaneous encoded gather is simulated in a single simulation operation. This updating is repeated for at least one more iteration, using the updated physical properties model from the previous iteration as the assumed model to produce a further updated physical properties model of the subsurface region that is more consistent with a corresponding simultaneous encoded gather of measured data, using the same encoding signatures for source signatures in the simulation as were used in forming the corresponding simultaneous encoded gather of measured data. The above method is used in producing hydrocarbons from a subsurface region. The method of producing hydrocarbons from a subsurface region further comprises performing a seismic survey of the subsurface region; interpreting structure in the subsurface region using the above updated physical properties model of the subsurface region, drilling a well into a layer in the subsurface region identified at least partly from the interpreted structure; and producing hydrocarbons from the well.
