The 2004 BP Velocity Benchmark

B035 The 2004 BP Velocity Benchmark Abstract 1 In 2004 BP conducted a 2D velocity model estimation benchmark study. The study was open to all interested parties and was constructed as a blind test of available velocity model estimation/building techniques. The test was based on a 2D synthetic (finite-difference) dataset generated by BP which was made available to the interested parties. After receiving the data the participating groups were offered to present their results at the 2004 EAGE workshop and/or provide the results to BP to partake in the overall evaluation. In this paper we will present the model used
