Currently, this paper makes no new claims, nor does it apply new methods, but
to borrow from Thomas Kuhn, a major part of scientific research consists of
``mop-up'' work. To gain credibility and acceptance, new tools must be applied
to existing problems, and should solve them more effectively than before. Here
I use the Helix
Transform to compute an effective preconditioner for the problem, thus speeding
convergence significantly. The updated horizons honor the shape of the picked
seismic horizons and also match the well log data at the wells - a result similar
to those obtained by
() and ().
