Automatic, Dense and Volumetric Picking for High-Resolution 3D Tomographic Model Building

Z-99 Automatic dense and volumetric picking for high-resolution 3D tomographic model building B037 Abstract 1 As survey sizes are steadily increasing 3D tomography as the key component of today’s velocity model building workflows has to be performed on large data volumes within acceptable turnaround times. To provide high-resolution velocity models dense volumetric picking is required. This leads to even larger data volumes. It is therefore paramount to automate as many processing steps as possible to free the time of the geophysicist for the necessary QC. In this paper we present a modified workflow for high-resolution 3D tomography addressing the need
