Petroleum seismology, a field that plays a crucial role in the exploration and exploitation of oil and gas resources, has been extensively revised and updated in the second edition of Introduction to Petroleum Seismology (SEG Investigations in Geophysics Series No. 12). This comprehensive book offers a theoretical and practical foundation for addressing the current and emerging challenges of petroleum seismology, particularly in seismic survey designs, seismic data acquisition, seismic and EM modeling, seismic imaging, microseismicity, and reservoir characterization and monitoring.

The first edition of this book was a valuable resource for geophysicists, engineers, and researchers, and the second edition builds upon its success by expanding and enhancing its content. All chapters from the first edition have been thoroughly revised and expanded, ensuring that they provide up-to-date and comprehensive coverage of the field. In addition, twelve new chapters have been added, covering a wide range of topics that were only alluded to in the first edition.

These new chapters delve into areas such as sparsity representation, sparsity and nonlinear optimization, near-simultaneous multiple-shooting acquisition and processing, nonuniform wavefield sampling, automated modeling, elastic-electromagnetic mathematical equivalences, and microseismicity in the context of hydraulic fracturing. Each chapter also includes analytical problems and computational problems, including MatLab codes, which can help readers deepen their understanding and intuition about these complex topics.

One of the significant modifications in this edition is the inclusion of analytical problems alongside computational problems. These problems provide practical insights and applications of the theoretical concepts discussed in the book, allowing readers to apply their knowledge in real-world scenarios. Whether you are an undergraduate or graduate student pursuing a career in geophysics or engineering, or a researcher or professional working in academia or the petroleum industry, Introduction to Petroleum Seismology, second edition is an essential text. Its comprehensive coverage, coupled with its practical approach, makes it a valuable guide and reference work for anyone interested in advancing their understanding of petroleum seismology.
