The influence of geology on the expansive potential of soil profiles

January 1982 · Geological Society of America Bulletin

A survey of 446 brick-veneer, single-family homes in College Station, Beaumont, San Antonio, and Waco, Texas, shows that the geology of the home site greatly influences the expansive potential of a soil profile. Effective plasticity index is used as a measure of a soil's shrink-swell potential; however in College Station the geological conditions provided subsurface wetting fronts which greatly ... [Show full abstract] enhanced the shrink-swell activity at low values of effective plasticity index. In Beaumont, San Antonio, and Waco, the depth of the active zone is important in controlling the expansive potential of the soil profile. -from Authors

SV-P: A potential viable alternative to mode-converted P-SV seismic data for reservoir characterizat...

August 2017 · Interpretation

P-SV seismic acquisition requires 3C geophones and thus more cost compared to conventional P-P data. However, some companies justify this added cost because P-SV data provide an independent set of shear-wave measurements, which can increase the reliability of subsurface property estimation. This study investigates SV-P data generated by vertical vibrator and recorded by vertical geophones as a ... [Show full abstract] cost-effective alternative to traditional P-SV data. To evaluate the efficacy of the SV-P mode relative to P-P and P-SV modes, multi-component seismic data from Wellington Field, Kansas were interpreted. P-P AVO gathers and stacked SV-P seismic data were jointly inverted to estimate elastic properties, which were compared with the estimates obtained from joint-inversion of P-P AVO gathers and stacked P-SV seismic data, and inversion of P-P AVO gathers data. All inversions provide identical P-impedance characteristics. However, a significant improvement in S-impedance estimates is observed when P-P and converted wave data (either SV-P or P-SV) are inverted jointly, compared to P-P inversion results alone. In the Arbuckle interval, which is being considered for CO2 injection, use of converted-wave data clearly demarcates Middle Arbuckle baffle zone and the Lower Arbuckle injection zone, with the latter having low P- and S-impedances. These observations, while consistent with other well-based geological evidence, are absent on P-P only inversion results. No major difference in the inversion results is seen when SV-P data are used instead of P-SV data. Moreover, we demonstrate for the first time by comparing the SV-P image obtained from vertical-vibrator data and the SV-P image obtained from horizontal-vibrator data establishes that both data image subsurface geology equivalently, except for the important distinction that former contains valuable higher frequencies than latter. Because legacy P-wave data can be reprocessed to extract the SV-P mode, using SV-P data can provide a unique way to perform multi-component seismic analysis. © 2017 Society of Exploration Geophysicists and American Association of Petroleum Geologists.
