ABSTRACT

For the last three years SEP has been developing tools within Advanced Visual System (AVS), to better handle 3-D seismic data. Our newest module attempts to include the entire velocity model building process within our AVS environment. It combines some of the best elements of GOCAD with the higher level of flexibility offered by AVS. An interactive model building process was tested by combining the new module, along with other AVS modules developed at SEP, to build a 3-D velocity model from a land survey dataset provided by INTEVEP S.A.
