  • Inversion-Based Reflector Dip Estimation
    Publication number: 20150117144
    Abstract: Method for estimating reflector dips in a window of post stack image traces (51) of seismic data for use in velocity tomography (57). The method iteratively (56) flattens (55) the image traces against a specified reference trace through the application of conjugate-gradient least-squares inversion (53). Different from other dip estimation methods which emphasize on strong-amplitude reflectors, the inventive method automatically inverts for the reflector dip for every grid point in the image window.
