Abstract
P065 PASSIVE SEISMIC TOMOGRAPHY A COMPLEMENTARY GEOPHYSICAL METHOD – SUCCESSFUL CASE STUDY Abstract 1 Passive Seismic Tomographic Inversion a method that used P and S-wave travel times from natural micro-earthquakes to accurately estimate 3D Vp (structural) and Vp/Vs (lithologic) information of the subsurface and its potential is presented here. The objective of the project was to use this complementary geophysical technique to aide in the imaging of the subsurface volume in the region in terms of hydrocarbon exploration and/or delineation. The results of this case study will show the very good agreement between the predicted estimates of passive versus the
