The Importance of Locally Converted Waves on the Elastic Inversion of Compressional Data

Abstract: ABSTRACT. Seismic inversion is routinely used in oil and gas exploration to estimate the elastic properties of the subsurface. However, most of the inversion methodsused in the industry disregard an inherent phenomenon of wave propagation in elastic media: the conversion of compressional waves into shear waves and vice versa.In this paper we analyze the importance of the locally converted seismic waves in the results of compressional wave based elastic inversion. For this, the reflectivitymethod is used to mod… Show more

“…The consequence of not taking into account the locally converted waves on elastic inversions can be significant, as pointed out by Hounie and Oliveira (2014), whose conclusion is supported by an investigation involving synthetic data. In this work we show that this fact is also confirmed in a real data example using the the North Viking Graben open data set were we compare linearized AVO inversion based on Aki and Richards approximation and a prestack elastic FWI method.…”

“…For these reasons, AVO analyses based in such approximations should be restricted to angles not greater than 30 degrees, as shown, for example, in the study of Mallick (2007), that compares the prestack waveequation modeling with the convolutional modeling using exactly Zoeppritz and Aki & Richards approximation. The influence of the local PS converted waves in elastic modeling and inversion for layered media can be found in Hounie & Oliveira (2014).…”
