Integrated Approaches for Accurate Velocity Models in Complex Land Environments

Challenges in Velocity Model Building for Structured Land Data

Velocity model building (VMB) on structured land data is challenging due to the often sparse acquisition, high noise content, and high subsurface complexity.

A Toolkit Approach to Velocity Model Building

At TBI, we take a toolkit approach to converge to the optimal model.

Geologically Constrained Model Building as the Foundation

Our Geologically Constrained Model Building method forms the foundation of this workflow, and for datasets with very poor signal quality may provide the final model.

Integrating Interpretive and Data-Driven Methods

For other datasets, this model provides an accurate initial model for our CLIMB workflow, where we integrate geologically constrained and data-driven models.

Collaboration Drives Model Accuracy

Close client collaboration is key to success, regardless of the model building method.
