Improved Resolution in Initial Interval Velocity Model Building by Integrating Well Data and Seismic Data
The ability to define an accurate interval velocity model resulting in a reliable image of the subsurface is a key challenge in prestack depth imaging. The delineation of an accurate interval velocity model is at the heart of every depth imaging process, so it is of vital importance to have all the input needed to ensure the velocity model is accurate, high resolution and geologically realistic.
This paper shows how to prepare an initial interval velocity model by integrating well, seismic and interpretation data with the help of geostatistics.

The Aspen GeoDepth velocity determination and 3D/2D velocity model building system enables explorationists to perform accurate seismic imaging in either time or depth. Through the integration of interpretation, velocity analysis, model building, time-to-depth conversion, depth migrations and model verification and updating, Aspen GeoDepth provides the continuity needed to produce high-quality, interpretable images consistent with other available data, while preventing data loss and honoring geologic constraints.
