Abstract
We demonstrate that purely acoustic FWI, run at true amplitude, can be used to extract accurate AVO parameters using offset-restricted subsets of raw unprocessed seismic data. Rather than producing conventional AVO parameters directly, acoustic FWI instead produces AVO anomalies showing the departure of the input data from the AVO displayed by a purely acoustic model. It is trivial to transform this into conventional AVO. AVO extraction via acoustic FWI applied to elastic synthetic data show that the AVO recovery using acoustic FWI is near perfect. When combined with full-bandwidth FWI, this approach removes any requirement for conventional data processing, model building, explicit migration or Kirchhoff-based AVO extraction. A final depth-migrated reflectivity volume, and accurate AVO parameters, can both be generated purely by acoustic FWI.
