Seismic Processing Workflow with an Integrated Model Building Toolkit Significantly Improves Imaging in Shallow Water, Complex Salt Province

Abstract

We present a seismic processing workflow that significantly improves subsurface images of hydrocarbon targets in shallow water. Our workflow is dependent on an integrated velocity model building toolkit, which works well for salt geometry and sediment velocity model building. The workflow addresses the challenges associated with complex salt structures and produces an improved subsurface seismic image in the complex salt province. A real case is presented here to demonstrate the workflow.
