| description | As conventional oil and gas fields are maturing, our profession is challenged to come up with the next-generation of more and more sophisticated exploration tools. In exploration seismology this trend has let to the emergence of wave-equation-based inversion technologies such as reverse time migration and full-waveform inversion. While significant progress has been made in wave-equation-based inversion, major challenges remain in the development of robust and computationally feasible workflows that give reliable results in geophysically challenging areas that may include ultralow shear-velocity zones or high-velocity salt. Moreover, subsalt production carries risks that need mitigation, which raises the bar from creating subsalt images to inverting for subsalt overpressure. |
