Abstract
Despite the popularity that full-waveform inversion (FWI) has gained in recent years, its application to Vibroseis data is still challenging, due to the problematic low-frequency content. We present the results of acoustic frequency-domain FWI of Vibroseis data with sweep starting at 6 Hz, acquired with standard 10 Hz geophones in 2010 in south-east Poland. 4.5 Hz matching filter and curvelet denoising in the frequency domain are used to enhance the low-frequency content of the data. This, together with dense sampling of the frequencies in the first inversion group, resulted in a geologically plausible P-wave velocity model, which correctly reproduces the data, including the far-offset arrivals and wide-angle reflections.
