SHALLOW VELOCITY MODELING WITH AIRBORNE FTG DATA

Join guest speaker Matt Duiker of Front Range Geoscience during SEG for this 15 minute scientific presentation

Running Daily During SEG 2020, Monday - Wednesday October 12-14.  1pm CST with Live Q&A 

VIRTUAL SEG BOOTH TALK

Shallow Velocity Modeling with Airborne FTG Data 

Project Update Part 1 (at SEG 2020)

It has been found that Full Tensor Gravity Gradiometry data can be used for shallow velocity modeling. It fills in the gaps in seismic, sees the shallow clearly, is comparatively cheap and fast, and as air permits are significantly easier than land permits it can be flown over old surveys to correct for statics.

In this presentation we share the details from the FTG gravity gradiometry data acquisition study by Bell Geospace, which flew a 100m spaced survey over 1000 square miles in West Texas.

After a very short introduction on the acquisition and survey details, the presenters show the results of the latest joint inversion between FTG data and refraction tomography.
