ABSTRACT

Velocity information extracted from prestack migrated data can be used to update the interval velocity model by solving a filtered tomography problem. Depth migration with the new velocity model should yield an improved structural image that stacks better over offset. Initial field data results indicate the promise of the method and also point out some of the difficulties encountered when using it.
