200 Hz FWI Imaging to study the top of salt and intra-salt intrusions. FWI velocity model at a depth of 400 m (a) showing strong lateral variations in velocity at the top of salt. FWI velocity (b) and reflectivity (c) in section view showing fast velocity features, suggesting anhydrite inclusions (green arrow) and carbonate build-ups (blue arrows). A comparison of the KPSDM, FWI Image and velocity model (d) reveals complex faulting structure (violet arrow) present above the salt body.

High-frequency FWI Imaging: repurposing seismic data for imaging shallow hazards

Dedicated high-resolution site surveys are used to identify potential hazards prior to the placement of infrastructure. Apart from the additional acquisition expense, site surveys are often acquired as a series of 2D lines, which limits their spatial resolution. We describe how FWI Imaging results from existing, raw, conventional 3D seismic data, can be used as a rapidly available 3D alternative or supplementary dataset to help improve understanding of the shallow subsurface. Two case studies demonstrate the potential of this approach. Specifically, they show that high-frequency FWI and associated attributes can help to identify shallow anomalies and fault systems more effectively than standard imaging methods, with a significant increase in resolution. Furthermore, FWI has proven its ability to provide shallow image quality comparable to that of multibeam echo sounder measurements, even with less densely acquired data.
