On Crosswell Traveltime Tomography

چکیده
In this paper, we give a theoretical analysis of the crosswell traveltime tomography. In the single arrival case, we prove that the objective function is smooth, and every critical point is a kinematically correct velocity model. A numerical example is presented to demonstrate the properties we prove and the diierence between traveltime tomography and waveform inversion via the output least squares. These results are extended to a local formulation of traveltime tomography in the presence of multiple arrivals.

Interferometric Traveltime Tomography with Closure Phase
The Interferometric Traveltime Tomography (ITT) method was previously shown to be both effective and stable in eliminating either shotor receiver-static errors using synthetic and field data example. In this report, we apply the ”closure phase” theorem to traveltime tomography and test its effectiveness in eliminating both the shotand receiver-static errors simultaneously with synthetic crosswe...
متن کاملA level-set adjoint-state method for crosswell transmission-reflection traveltime tomography
S U M M A R Y We propose a level-set adjoint-state method for crosswell traveltime tomography using both first-arrival transmission and reflection traveltime data. Since our entire formulation is based on solving eikonal and advection equations on finite-difference meshes, our traveltime tomography strategy is carried out without computing rays explicitly. We incorporate reflection traveltime d...
متن کاملInversion of Crosswell Seismograms via Diierential Semblance Optimization
In crosswell seismic experiments, seismic sources are red in one well, and the waveeelds generated are measured in another well. The goal of the crosswell seismology is to nd physical parameters, especially the velocities, of the rocks between the wells from these measurements. This amounts to the mathematical problem of solving a coeecient inverse problem of the multidimensional acoustic wave ...
متن کاملTemporal Integration Of Seismic Traveltime Tomography
Time-lapse geophysical measurements and seismic imaging methods in particular are powerful techniques for monitoring changes in reservoir properties. Traditional time-lapse processing methods treat each dataset as an independent unit and estimate changes in reservoir state through differencing these separate inversions. We present a general least-squares approach to jointly inverting time-varyi...
متن کاملIntegrated high-resolution tomography
A common problem in seismic tomography is the inadequate amount of data required for accurate traveltime inversion. The inherent nature in which data is acquired and the subsurface velocities of the survey area can result in a nonuniform distribution of raypaths. In such instances the statistical nature of tomographic inversion biases the solution to reflect the acquisition instead of the geolo...
