Abstract

In this paper we apply an acoustic and elastic FWI Imaging approach to the difficult problem of improving sub-basalt prospectivity. FWI Imaging is rapidly becoming a key deliverable in any imaging and velocity model building workflow. It can be seen as a non-linear leastsquares migration with the images being generated almost as a by-product of the model building approach. It allows for greater understanding of complex geology where typical migration images may have limitations and as such, is an invaluable guide for any interpretation work.
