Fast Reconstruction of Velocity Structure for Seismic Logging

Abstract:

Based on the velocity contrast of rocks, the seismic logging is to study the relationship of the velocity-depth by using the seismic wave data acquired in borehole. The concept of average velocity used in conventional method of seismic logging data may lead to a wrong interpretation. With help of the raytracing technique, This paper deals with the seismic logging data by Fast Reconstruction (FR) technique to obtain a fine velocity structure in borehole. The results from numerical modeling show that the method can be used in complicated structure with a fast computation and high accuracy.
