Abstract

Summary

Almost all current time or depth seismic studies need to go through a correction process to recover energy lost by absorption phenomenon. The so-called Q factor is responsible for dissipation of high-frequency seismic energy, which decreases seismic amplitudes and causes velocity dispersion. For general background Q, a post-migration inverse Q filtering ( ), using smooth or even constant Q, may be sufficient for data with gentle geology. In areas with more absorptive heterogeneities such as unconsolidated materialor gas, theneed for a morecomplex Q model is necessary for an accurate correction. have been pioneers for addressing this problem, adapting Q-Tomography from fundamental to applied seismology. Over the last decade, it has resulted in an industrial solution ( ) using VSP or surface seismic data.
