Elevation -100 m Base of weathering 0 m * elevation profile Line A : elevation profile and base of weathering
Elevation -200 m Base of weathering -100 m * elevation profile Line B : elevation profile and base of weathering
Weathering static = dt = delay time vw = weathering velocity vr = refractor velocity
Elevation -100 m Base of weathering 0 m * elevation profile Line A : elevation profile and base of weathering
Elevation -100 m 0 m * elevation profile Line A : weathering static applied
-100 m 0 m * elevation profile Line A : weathering static + datuming
…just another inverse problem A * x = b “Matrix” or other operator Observations Unknowns
…and for refraction computation A * x = b Delay Time + Refractor Velocity First Arrivals
Pick all first breaks Refraction Computation Refractor Velocity Delay Time
Weathering static = dt = delay time vw = weathering velocity vr = refractor velocity
…application of delay time to shot records should align first break energy … so can QC delay time results
Weathering static = dt = delay time vw = weathering velocity ? vr = refractor velocity
… possibilities for estimating vw (i) dynamite source, vw = depth/tuh (ii) estimate vw from near offsets (iii) choose representative constant vw (iv) deep uphole survey - provides static control and sparse estimate of vw
