Fall TCCS Sponsor Meeting Covers Advances in Seismic Monitoring and Processing, Hydrogen Storage

The Bureau of Economic Geology recently hosted the fall meeting of the Texas Consortium for Computational Seismology (TCCS) in Austin, bringing together 55 participants, including representatives from eight sponsor companies. Attendees engaged in 14 research presentations, covering innovations in seismic monitoring, noise attenuation, full-waveform inversion (FWI), and land seismic processing.
Key highlights included new methods in coda-wave interferometry, distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) data compression, Bayesian FWI, and advanced finite element modeling (FEM). The meeting also introduced TCCS’s Gulf Coast fiber optic seismic monitoring studies, and provided updates on the Bureau’s planned H2 test being conducted jointly with the GeoH2 research consortium.
TCCS students have received hands-on experience in high-density nodal land seismic acquisition at the Bureau’s Devine Test Site. TCCS sponsors were also invited to a field visit at the Bureau’s H2 Test Site on November 21 to witness combined 3D seismic and vertical seismic profiling (VSP) characterization surveys in preparation for the hydrogen injection test.
