Constrained velocity inversion is an interval velocity analysis using an exponential asymptotically bounded velocity model, which can show a delineation match between the model and the velocity inversion functions. The constrained velocity inversion results were adequate for use as seismic velocity input data and produced a better seismic section than the root mean square velocity input data, indicated by clear continuity of the reflectors and the fault. Constrained velocity inversion applied to seismic data in the North Sumatra Basin showed a more rigorous seismic section compared to that from the root mean square velocity analysis.

Physical properties are often applied to oil and gas exploration analysis using seismic data. However, in reality, none of the physical properties (attributes) of seismic data can describe the entire type of lithology of a subsurface layer. It takes a combination of various physical properties (multi-attributes) and other data to map the lithological distribution of a subsurface layer. One of the seismic attributes that can be used in describing the condition of subsurface lithology is acoustic impedance (AI). Acoustic impedance can provide information in the form of rock lithology in a layer. This information can be interpreted by inversion. Inversions performed on acoustic impedance obtain the results of cross-sectional distribution of acoustic impedance that shows lithology. As existing lithological conditions, correlations to other physical properties can be modeled. Combination of the physical property used is called multi-attribute. Multi-attribute methods can predict and model the porosity of rocks from seismic attributes. The application of this method is used to describe lateral distribution and porosity mapping (neutron porosity). The results of the study using the multi-attribute seismic method applied to the LMGS Field seismic data obtained a distribution map of neutron porosity. Neutron porosity values obtained to show a hydrocarbon reservoir range from 0.05 to 0.2 on the fraction scale.
