Full-Waveform Inversion
Unlock better decisions, faster, with FWI for high-fidelity velocity models and imaging
Viridien’s unique Full-Waveform Inversion (FWI) technology leadership and the deep expertise of our global Subsurface Imaging teams maximizes the value of your subsurface data, enabling you to access new business opportunities and derisk your operations.
As pioneers in this space, our researchers and geophysicists work with you to create state-of-the-art workflows optimized for your data and objectives.
Whether your project is marine towed streamer, land, OBN, DAS or 4D, our robust and versatile FWI technologies deliver high-fidelity models and unmatched images of the subsurface, giving you a competitive advantage at every stage of the asset lifecycle.
Advanced FWI Methodologies for a range of challenges
Discover FWI techniques developed to address a host of diverse challenges and resolve complex subsurface geology, allowing you to extract more value from your seismic data with highly-accurate subsurface models and images.
Our best-in-class FWI technology has been adapted by our experts to work with any acquisition geometry, creating workflows that overcome poor signal-to-noise, model elastic effects and leverage a wide range of arrivals including P- and S-waves. This gives you more, and better, information to create new opportunities for frontier & infrastructure-led exploration, and enable more efficient and accurate field development and reservoir monitoring.
FEATURED ARTICLES
Elastic FWI for 3D and 4D Subsalt Imaging (US Gulf, Santos Basin)
This recent article in The Leading Edge explores Full-Waveform Inversion's success in challenging geologic settings and how it has become a must-have tool for velocity model building, particularly in salt environments where geology and velocity are often highly complex.
Elastic FWI for Shallow-Water Environments (North Sea)
This recent article details how Elastic FWI improves seismic image quality in challenging shallow-water North Sea settings by accounting for elastic wave effects. The result: sharper detail for enhanced interpretation and reduced uncertainty.
Unlocking Onshore Imaging Challenges with FWI (Oman)
This paper highlights recent recent advances that demonstrate land FWI can deliver high-resolution, stable velocity models that improve imaging, reduce exploration uncertainty, and support geotechnical analysis—even in complex onshore settings like Oman.
