THE VELOCITY MODEL AND SEISMIC DEPTH CONVERSION


Course Objective:




Seismic migration is a key tool for constructing subsurface imagery based on industry seismic data.



This course aims to examining the basic methodology and underline geophysical principles of velocity



model building and seismic migration. Upon completion of this training course, participants will be



able to understand: Different methods of obtaining and building velocity model, the dependency of



migration on the velocity-depth model, migration velocity analysis, most of the common migration



methods, and communicate appropriately with processing geophysicists and contractors.
