Seismic inversion aims to reconstruct a quantitative model of the
Earth subsurface, by solving an inverse problem based on seismic
measurements. There are at least three fundamental issues to be
solved simultaneously: non-linearity, non-uniqueness, and
instability. This book covers the basic theory and techniques used
in seismic inversion, corresponding to these three issues,
emphasising the physical interpretation of theoretical concepts and
practical solutions. This book is written for master and doctoral
students who need to understand the mathematical tools and the
engineering aspects of the inverse problem needed to obtain
geophysically meaningful solutions. Building on the basic theory of
linear inverse problems, the methodologies of seismic inversion are
explained in detail, including ray-impedance inversion and waveform
tomography etc. The application methodologies are categorised into
convolutional and wave-equation based groups. This systematic
presentation simplifies the subject and enables an in-depth
understanding of seismic inversion. This book also provides a
practical guide to reservoir geophysicists who are attempting
quantitative reservoir characterisation based on seismic data.
Philosophically, the seismic inverse problem allows for a range of
possible solutions, but the techniques described herein enable
geophysicists to exclude models that cannot satisfy the available
data. This book summarises the author s extensive experience in
both industry and academia and includes innovative techniques not
previously published.
