Studying the seismic response of meter-scale, stratigraphic heterogeneities typically relies on the generation of reservoir models based on outcrop examples and their forward seismic modelling. To bridge geological information and seismic modelling, these methods allocate values of acoustic properties, such as mass-density and P-wave velocity, according to discretized properties like layer-type lithology or facies units. This strategy matches the current workflow in seismic data inversion in industry, where modelling workflows are based on lithofacies distributions. However, from stratigraphic modelling, we know that meter-scale heterogeneities occur within certain facies and lithologies. Here, we evaluate the difference on the seismic response between allocating acoustic properties in a grain size–based, semi-continuous manner versus discretized manners based on lithology and facies classifications. To do so, we generate a reference geological simulation that we populate with acoustic properties, mass-density and P-wave velocity, using three different strategies: (1) based on grain size distribution; (2) based on facies distribution; and (3) based on lithology. The method we propose includes the generation of realistic geological simulations based on stratigraphic modelling and the transformation of its output into acoustic properties, honouring the intra-lithology and intra-facies, small-scale structures. We, then, generate seismic data by applying a forward seismic modelling workflow. The synthetic data show that the grain size–based simulation allows the identification of small-scale, stratigraphic heterogeneities, such as beds with strong density and velocity contrasts. These stratigraphic structures are smoothened or may completely disappear in the facies and lithology discretized simulations and, therefore, are not (well) represented in the synthetic seismic data. Recognizing meter-scale, stratigraphic heterogeneities is relevant for the characterization of the fluid flow in the reservoir. However, current discrete and lithology-based strategies in seismic inversion are not able to resolve such heterogeneities because real subsurface properties are not discrete properties but continuous, unless there are stratigraphic discontinuities such as erosional surfaces or faults. This research works towards a better understanding of the relationship between changes in these continuous properties and the observed seismic data by introducing greater complexity into the discretized geological simulations. Here, we use synthetic seismic images with the goal of eventually aiding in fine-tuning seismic inversion methodologies applied to real seismic data.

To address these challenges, we introduce a sequential inversion strategy of deep-sensing electromagnetic induction logging data that is measured while drilling. For the inversion at each logging position, we employ a matrix-free implementation of the adjoint integral equation method and a quasi-Newton algorithm. To tackle the ill-posed nature of the problem, we regularize the inverse problem by employing a multi-dimensional inversion parameter technique that shifts from zero- to three-dimensional parameterization. The model derived from the inversion of the data at multiple positions is incrementally integrated by utilizing the sensitivity data at each logging position. To validate our approach, we tested our method on simulated data using an anisotropic model.

On this basis, the time–frequency analysis method can be used to analyse the thickness changes of thin interbeds. To analyse the thickness changes more accurately, the adopted time–frequency analysis method needs to have high time–frequency resolution and robustness. This paper proposes a novel method named the multi-synchrosqueezing polynomial chirplet transform. First, the second-order instantaneous frequency estimation operator is obtained through the corrected polynomial chirplet transform. Then, through squeezing and rearranging, the fuzzy time–frequency energy is gradually concentrated on the corresponding second-order multiple instantaneous frequency estimation operator to obtain the multi-synchrosqueezing polynomial chirplet transform.

Depth estimates for the Conrad (2.7 g/cm<sup>3</sup>) and Moho (3.3 g/cm<sup>3</sup>) discontinuities were obtained, highlighting distinct density variations across discontinuity zones. Furthermore, the relationship between intracrustal discontinuities and seismicity was examined, revealing that earthquakes predominantly follow the Conrad boundary.

This was extremely time-consuming, taking several months, complex and expensive procedure, used in geodesy at some points to determine the values of vertical deflection. Recently, revolutionary changes have been made in this area, with the development of a new, quick and simple method for determining the local vertical direction, which is more accurate than ever before. In contrast to the previous extremely slow process, with the computer-controlled, fully automated QDaedalus measurement system, a single person can perform multiple high-precision measurements at various locations overnight, making the appropriate quantity and quality of measurement results suitable for geophysical structural research purposes. In this article, we briefly describe the operation of the QDaedalus system and draw attention to the geophysical applicability of the method in terms of detectable mass anomalies and useful station spacing using astrogeodetic field measurements. To demonstrate this, astrogeodetic measurements were also carried out along a 4 km long section, from which the deflection of the vertical values and geoid heights were determined. Our measurements were compared with the normal values calculated with the global gravity model of high resolution (Global Gravity Model plus). As the deflection of the vertical values calculated with this model includes the effect of the surface topographic masses at the resolution of the model, the difference between the measured and the modelled values is practically a function of subsurface density anomalies.

These mature oil and gas fields are producing mainly from Eocene–Oligocene carbonate reservoirs. Key challenges of Neelam–Heera fields include seismic imaging issues in areas perturbed by shallow gas, discrepancy in time and depth structures caused by lateral and vertical velocity variations and delineation of karst/discontinuities in the Neelam–Bassein formation to improve well planning and avoid mud loss. The seismic interpretation study we conducted used recent ocean bottom node seismic data to provide new insights into these challenges and are discussed in this paper. An integrated study scaling from interpretive processing to high-resolution mapping/attribute analysis was conducted to solve the key challenges of the Neelam–Heera fields. A significant improvement is seen in the imaging of the Neelam–Heera area because of prestack depth migration processing of ocean bottom node data, which led to detailed mapping and better understanding of various formations. One of the key challenges was to understand the structural changes in areas masked by shallow gas clouds in the Heera high area. The PP data could not provide clear imaging of areas masked by shallow gas; however, the PS data is not affected by fluid presence and provided imaging below the gas cloud. The gas-bearing Bandra formation in the crestal part of the Heera field is mapped with the help of PS data. The Neelam–Heera area shows prominent trends related to a velocity anomaly at a shallow level (dissolution features), forming the valleys in the time cube that are not seen in the depth cube. The key formations are mapped carefully with the integration of a depth cube. The new depth maps provided insights in areas hindered by previous false structures and are key to future development planning. To gain insights on karstification and mud-loss issues in Neelam field (Bassein formation), various structural attributes were derived and correlated with well data. Most positive/negative curvature attributes at different azimuthal stacks alongside variance maps provided detailed high-resolution insights on faults/lineaments/fractures, and posting of well mud-loss information validated the disturbed-zone-related mud-loss areas. The availability of ocean bottom node data with high-quality processing and imaging and subsequent detailed seismic interpretation using PP and PS data provided new insights to solve the key challenges of Neelam–Heera fields.

Typically, a thin high-resistivity membrane is placed underneath the waste to prevent leakage of leachate. In the construction of a numerical framework for sensitivity computation, taking into account the actual dimensions of the electrodes and, in particular, of the membrane, can lead to extremely high computational costs. In this work, we present a novel approach for numerically computing sensitivity effectively by adopting a mixed-dimensional framework, where the membrane is approximated as a two-dimensional object and the electrodes as one-dimensional objects. The code is first validated against analytical expressions for simple four-electrode arrays and a homogeneous medium. Then it is tested in simplified landfill models, where a two-dimensional box-shaped liner separates the landfill body from the surrounding media, and 48 electrodes are used. The results show that electrodes arranged linearly along both sides of the perimeter edges of the box-shaped liner are promising for detecting liner damage, with sensitivity increasing by 2 to 3 orders of magnitude, even for damage as small as one-sixth of the electrode spacing in diameter. Good results are also obtained when simulating an electrical connection between the landfill and the surrounding media that is not due to liner damage. The configurations with the highest sensitivity directly beneath the liner are quadrupoles in which both the current and voltage dipoles have one electrode inside the liner and one electrode outside, and a two-dimensional arrangement of the electrodes. The modelled sensitivity values beneath the liner are close to a minimum sensitivity threshold derived from arbitrary and simplified assumptions. We believe that direct current surveys have the potential to detect liner damage using electrode spreads positioned along the liner perimeter, both inside and outside the landfill.

The microscopic observation, basic physical property test, ultrasonic velocity measurement and theoretical modelling are constructed to study the pressure sensitivity of elastic properties and the factors affecting the elastic anisotropy of coal samples. The velocity increases rapidly with confining pressure increasing at confining pressures below 13 MPa but relatively stabilizes at higher pressures. The velocity perpendicular to the bedding plane is more sensitive to pressure than that parallel to the bedding plane. As confining pressure increases, the velocity anisotropy decreases but remains noticeable at the highest pressure.

The modelling analysis indicates that P- and S-wave velocity anisotropies decrease as the degree of preferred orientation of organic matter and clay decreases, which increases with the increase of organic matter and clay content.
