Geophysical Data
Geological Interpretation
Michigan Silurian Reef
•Single profile•Isolated pinnacle reef•Only one additional well •No surface seismic available
Tomographic Velocity Inversion
•Picked Direct Arrivals•3D Thin Layer Model•3D Ray Tracing•Model Interfaces and Layer Parameters Described by Chebyshev Polynomials
Imaging•Kirchhoff Integral•Prestack Reflection Imaging•Depth•Dip Oriented and Aperture Limited•Ray Trace Travel Times from Tomographic Velocities•Angle Gather Output
45 degrees30 degrees 70 degrees
Interpretation Approach
Profile is in DepthExact depth tie at the wells – no time to depth conversion needed
Resolution at the outcrop level – human scale geology
