The Western Australia Modeling project — Part 1: Geomodel building

Abstract: A key goal in industry and academic seismic research is overcoming long-standing imaging, inversion, and interpretation challenges. One way to address these challenges is to develop a realistic 3D geomodel constrained by local-to-regional geologic, petrophysical, and seismic data. Such a geomodel can serve as a benchmark for numerical experiments that help users to better understand the key factors underlying — and devise novel solutions to — these exploration and development challenges. We have developed a tw… Show more

“…In exploration seismology, a typical 3D digital earth model today may be 1,000 sq.km in area and up to 6–10 km in total depth (Figure 10), requiring over 1 billion computational voxels (Shragge, Bourget, et al., 2019; Shragge, Lumley, et al., 2019). Since each voxel must store 1–10 physical properties (velocity, density, anisotropy, Q, etc.…”
