Automatic Imaging – Velocity Veracity

C018 AUTOMATIC IMAGING: VELOCITY VERACITY Abstract 1 A system for automatic high density migration velocity estimation and imaging has been developed. Imaging velocities are calculated at every CMP and time location and are iteratively updated to achieve optimal image quality. The Auto Imager approach is demonstrated with 3D real and synthetic examples and the veracity of the estimated velocity is investigated in comparison to independently estimated interval velocities and depth migration results for two real 3D data sets.
