Velocity analysis for VSP data
Abstract:
A method for providing a velocity profile for a subsurface region that includes the reflective interfaces, the method comprising the steps of: providing a set of data comprising signals transmitted by a transmitter and collected at a receiver, wherein the data include a primary signal that has been reflected off of one of the reflective interfaces and a multiply-reflected signal that has been reflected off of at least two of the reflective interfaces, providing a velocity model for the subsurface region, using the velocity model and the primary signal to construct a first image of the subsurface region, using the velocity model and the multiply-reflected signal to construct a second image of the subsurface region, determining a measure of match between the first and second images, adjusting the velocity model based on this measure, and repeating the steps until the measure of match attains a desired level.
