Abstract
In this chapter, the application of the grid-characteristic method to solving seismic prospecting problems is considered. The characteristic seismogeological models, including Marmousi and SEG/EAGE Salt Model, are considered, wave patterns and seismograms are presented. The cases of 2D and 3D modelling, curvilinear boundaries between geological layers, fractured layers taking into account the topology of the Earth’s surface, construction of seismograms for both 2D and 3D seismic survey cases, and vertical seismic profiling are considered. The investigation of the performance of a software complex developed on the basis of a grid-characteristic method for modelling hydrocarbon deposits of various computational complexity was performed. Also, faults zones of a different nature, both about the length of the faults and the type of geological environment inside these faults, was studied. A detailed analysis of spatial dynamic wave patterns is carried out, and predictive conclusions are made about the nature of the seismograms obtained, which were actually confirmed in the respective seismograms. It will be shown in this Chapter that typical analytical tests cannot guarantee that software gives an opportunity for the geologist to develop right conclusions. This problem can be solved only by understanding the physical basis of the phenomena under consideration and the peculiarities of the operation of the difference methods used in the software, simultaneously. This suggests the method called Wave Logica, fragments of which are also given in the Chapter.
