An Offset Dependent NMO Velocity Model

P036 An Offset Dependent NMO Velocity Model M.T. Taner* (Rock Solid Images) S. Treitel (TriDekon) M. Al-Chalabi (Petrotech Consultancy) & S. Fomel (University of Texas) SUMMARY We develop two novel non-hyperbolic solutions to the NMO correction problem. Both include a so-called “velocity acceleration” term in the travel time equation. EAGE 69 th Conference & Exhibition — London UK 11 - 14 June 2007 Introduction Interest in non-hyperbolic travel time equations has developed along with increased use of longer offsets. Non-hyperbolic behaviors can be modeled in various ways. Taner and Koehler (1969) extended the two-term hyperbolic Dix equation to a non-hyperbolic
