Abstract
In the Nile Delta, a complex and dipping water bottom, shallow gas filled channel systems and the evaporitic Messinian interval have prevented the creation of an accurate velocity model in depth using conventional 3D data. By designing a workflow that combines the Multi-Azimuth data in a multi-parameter reflection tomography approach, we have built a detailed velocity model that shows variations that correspond very well to the geology interpreted from the seismic, and which yields improved images at depth.
