Velocity Modeling Services
Accurate velocity modeling is essential for depth imaging, pore pressure prediction, and prospect evaluation. We can achieve accurate velocity modeling for lateral heterogeneity and vertical gradients by using geostatistical methodologies, including well data calibration and integration, and reflection tomography. We offer a complete cycle of velocity model building for all purposes.

calibrated (lower-left), and salt flooded model (lower-right).
Integrated velocity modeling, or “iDEPTHing”, is a SeisLink technique which removes blunders in velocity picks and determines lateral heterogeneity (structural anisotropy). iDEPTHing integrates all existing data such as seismic velocities, check-shot data, sonic data, well control data, well tops, geologic maps, interpreted horizons, 2D hazard data, and salt models including salt entry and exit points to produce highly geologically accurate velocity models. Accurate velocity modeling results in E&P risk reduction, which translates into higher returns.
