| Abstract | Full-waveform Inversion is applied to generate a high-resolution model of P-wave velocity for a site in the Permian Basin, Texas, USA. This investigation jointly inverts seismic waveforms from a surface 3-D vibroseis surface seismic survey and a co-located 3-D Vertical Seismic Profiling (VSP) survey, which shared common source Vibration Points (VPs). The resulting velocity model captures features that were not resolvable by conventional migration velocity analysis. |
