En el mundo actual, los métodos tradicionales de perforación de pozos petroleros no funcionan. Las prácti cas de ayer están siendo susti tuidas por una tendencia universal hacia el uso extenso de datos históricos y de ti empo real para comprender, aprender y pronosti car todas las operaciones de...

Extracting information from seismic data requires knowledge of seismic wave propagation and reflection. The commonly used method involves solving linearly for a reflectivity at every point within the Earth, but this book follows an alternative approach which invokes inverse scattering theory. By developing...
