Abstract: In some embodiments, input seismic data is decomposed into Gaussian beams using plane wave destructor (PWD) filters. The beams are used in a fast beam migration method to generate a seismic image of a subsurface volume of interest. PWD filters are applied to groups of neighboring traces to generate a field of dips/curvatures that fit the input trace data. Beam wavelets are then formed according to the dip/curvature field. Multiple dips (PWD slopes) may be determined at each location in time/space in order to handle intersecting reflection events. Exemplary methods allow an improvement in processing speed by more than an order of magnitude as compared to standard industry techniques such as Kirchhoff migration.

Abstract: A polymer-encapsulated mineral acid solution and a method for forming the polymer-encapsulated mineral acid solution. Introducing a strong mineral acid solution to a monomer solution occurs such that a primary emulsion that is a water-in-oil type emulsion forms. Introducing the primary emulsion to a second aqueous solution forms a secondary emulsion that is a water-in-oil-in-water type double emulsion. The monomer in the secondary emulsion is cured such a polymerized shell forms that encapsulates the strong mineral acid solution and forms the capsule. The strong mineral acid solution has up to 30 wt. % strong mineral acid. A method of stimulating a hydrocarbon-bearing formation using the polymer-encapsulated mineral acid solution includes introducing a capsule suspension into a fissure in the hydrocarbon-bearing formation to be stimulated through a face in a well bore. The capsule is maintained within the fissure until the polymer shell degrades.
