Travel Time Inversion in Seismic Tomography
The word tomography finds its origins in the two Greek words tomos, meaning section, and graphy, which translates as drawing. There are many different types of tomography used in many sciences such as medicine, biology, materials science and geology. The basic idea of tomography in all of its uses is to obtain a cross-section of an object which will then be used to infer various facts regarding...
متن کاملGeostatistical Seismic Inversion Using Well Log Constraints
Information about reservoir properties usually comes from two sources: seismic data and well logs. The former provide an indirect, low resolution image of rock velocity and density. The latter provide direct, high resolution (but laterally sparse) sampling of these and other rock parameters. An important problem in reservoir characterization is how best to combine these data sets, allowing the ...
متن کاملAn integrated inversion of seismic refraction and reflection data using combined wave-equation tomography and full waveform inversion
We have developed an integrated method to obtain highresolution subsurface elastic parameters using combined wave equation tomography (WET) and full waveform inversion (FWI). Both refraction and reflection data are used. During parameterization, long wavelength and short wavelength structures are separated and mapped into velocity and density to account for kinematics and dynamics, respectively...
متن کاملDynamic ray tracing and traveltime corrections for global seismic tomography
We present a dynamic ray tracing program for a spherically symmetric Earth that may be used to compute Fréchet kernels for traveltime and amplitude anomalies at finite frequency. The program works for arbitrarily defined phases and background models. The numerical precisions of kinematic and dynamic ray tracing are optimized to produce traveltime errors under 0.1 s, which is well below the data...
متن کاملOn the relevance of Born theory in global seismic tomography
[1] Does the application of seismic Born theory, as opposed to simpler ray theory, lead to an improvement in tomographic images of the Earth? In recent publications, Montelli et al. (2004a, 2004b) and van der Hilst and de Hoop (2005) among others have expressed opposite opinions. We propose a quantitative approach to the comparison of tomographic images, which we apply to the case of surface-wa...
