EAGE E-Lecture: Maximising the Benefits of Full Waveform Inversion by Fabio Mancini

Full waveform inversion (FWI) has recently emerged as one of the most exciting new techniques in the seismic industry thanks to its potential to deliver very detailed velocity models. It is also a paradigm shift in the way we process seismic data since it allows us to start the velocity model building on raw shots, with little, if any, need for pre-processing. In this e-lecture, Fabio Mancini will show examples on how these characteristics of FWI can be leveraged to maximising its impact in the exploration and development cycle. In particular he will focus on reducing the turnaround time of seismic processing projects and on the use of the high frequency velocity models as an attribute for direct interpretation.
