oa A 3D Velocity Modelling Strategy that Includes Structural Geology

The structural features of a 3D subsurface velocity model must be defined not only to support seismic modeling, seismic processing and geologic interpretation but also to support the kinematic history of the subsurface structure. A strategy for implementing a 3D velocity model is presented. The key feature of our strategy is that, in addition to being topologically correct, the model is also supported by the principles of structural geology.
