| Description |
The JIP developed
an advanced seismic analysis method to detect shallow sands that are prone
to SWF and to identify which sands will actually flow. The JIP improved
detection and identification methods for SWF, which will reduce the
occurrence of and risk of SWF. JIP work included laboratory measurements of
affected rocks and sediments, pre-processing multi-component seismic lines,
computer modeling, and use of specialized seismic analysis techniques. |
| Progress |
The principal
investigator presented a paper on the JIP at OTC 2000. The project is
completed. The proprietary period for the report has
ended. |
