While seismic processing focuses on discovering the unknown earth model from collected seismic data, modeling takes the opposite approach. By predicting what the seismic recorded at the surface will look like from a known model, we can make informed decisions for survey design, balancing cost and sampling density/range.
Survey Design and Modelling
Modeling allows for the exploration of different survey setups before deploying the acquisition crew, helping designers understand the merits and limitations of each setup.
Benefits:
Cost-Effective Planning: Evaluate tradeoffs between cost and sampling density/range.
Informed Decisions: Explore different setups to optimize survey design.
Full Wavefield Modelling for Realistic Predictions
For more complex and realistic wave behavior predictions, full wavefield modeling is used. Increasing levels of realism yield more accurate data, from simple acoustic models to more complex ones including elastic, visco-elastic, and anisotropic behavior.
Complex Models: Include elastic, visco-elastic, and anisotropic behavior for higher realism
Imaging Challenges: Visualizes the difficulties in specific study areas
No-Compromise Solution: Provides the highest level of accuracy and detail
