Seismic anisotropy plays an important role in structural imaging and lithologic interpretation.
However, anisotropic model building is a challenging underdetermined inverse problem. It is …

Anisotropic models are needed for wave simulation and inversion where a complex
geologic environment exists. We extended the theory of wave equation migration velocity …

A truly integrated velocity model building method has been developed and applied for
seismic imaging. Geophysical basin modeling is designed to mitigate seismic data …

In this paper, we use a VTI two-way propagation engine to perform wave-equation migration
velocity analysis. Using RTM, we have a chance to characterize the wavefields propagating …

Because anisotropic models are unconstrained by surface-seismic data alone, we must
learn to incorporate other non-seismic measurements and knowledge into the model …

Pore pressure prediction and seismic imaging play an important role in the evaluation and
development of hydrocarbon prospects. In this study, we present a successful integration of …

Anisotropic model building with tomography is an underdetermined inverse problem.
Simultaneously solving for P-wave velocity, epsilon, and delta is not stable when only …

Tomographic earth model building is being used to solve problems in more challenging
settings, including multiproperty model building and model building with complex geological …

Accurate anisotropic seismic velocity model building is the key to the success of seismic
depth imaging projects in complex geological settings. Tomography has been an industry …
