Inversion of seismograms and pseudo velocity logs
Pseudo velocity logs can be obtained by seismogram inversion, using true amplitude processing and detailed investigation of move-out velocities. The precision of the results depends on the quality of the seismic data and on the possibility of deconvolving without increasing the noise. An investigation is made of the deformation of pseudo logs due to seismic signal variations and to imperfections of deconvolution. Both marine and land examples are shown, in some cases with adjustment on well logs. When the dips are large, time sections must be migrated and pseudo velocity logs must be computed from migrated sections. Comparison of sonic logs with pseudo velocity logs obtained in the same area is usually good enough to obtain information on lithological parameter variations by adjustment of pseudo velocity logs on sonic logs. Even when no well is available, pseudo velocity logs can give some indications on the nature of sediments between seismic horizons.
