oa High-Frequency Full-Waveform Inversion: Just How High Should You Go?

We pose the question, “how high a frequency should you go to in FWI?” The answer depends on your objective: the traditional processes of imaging, reservoir characterization, and interpretation, or as a potential complete replacement for these. In this paper we discuss and demonstrate the impact of the maximum frequency in the FWI velocity model on these processes, using data sets from the North and Norwegian Seas.
