Seismic Diffraction Analysis of a Fluid Escape Pipe beneath the Submarine Gas Bubble Plume in the Haima Cold Seep Area

Figure 2

(a) Time migrated profile MCS 1236 through plume B. The inset shows a gas bubble flare on the water column data. (b) Zoomed view of the pipe structure showing a vertical string of amplitude anomalies. (c) The string of amplitude anomalies observed within the carbonate reservoirs (modified from [46]). BSR: bottom simulating reflection; SBRs: string of bead reflections.
