Abstract
Over the last decade of building anisotropic earth models for depth imaging, we developed many methods and techniques that make them geologically plausible and maintain consistency with geomechanics and rock-physics. In this paper, we demonstrate the importance of including of cross-disciplinary data in all stages of the anisotropic earth-model building workflow and discuss various methods and techniques for anisotropic parameter derivation and update. We illustrate them with successful examples from the Gulf of Mexico and offshore West Africa.
