Seismic Imaging And Evaluation Of Channels Modeled By Boolean Approach

The seismic method attempts to image the subsurface architecture and has been able to significantly contribute to detect<br>areal and vertical changes in rock properties. This work presents a seismic imaging study of channel objects generated<br>using the boolean technique. Three channels having different thicknesses were simulated, using the same width,<br>sinuosity and direction. A velocity model was constructed in order to allow seismic contrasts between the interior of<br>channels and the embedding rock. To examine the seismic response for different channel thicknesses, a 3D ray tracing<br>with a normal incident point survey was performed. The three channels were resolved and the way the seismic could<br>image them was studied.
