However, its application requires low frequencies and large offsets to avoid ending up in a local minimum. This approach has been illustrated with marine data sets and acoustic full waveform inversion. Acoustic full waveform inversion can also be applied with land data sets when the acquisition and the pre‐processing are planned correctly. To demonstrate the relevance of this dedicated approach, we invert a land data set acquired with low frequencies down to 1.5 Hz and 20 km offset. We show that the velocity retrieved by full waveform inversion supersedes the one derived by handpicked nmo‐gather velocity analysis even when we start with a crude 1D model. With the acquisition of low frequencies and long offsets and a dedicated preprocessing, a high‐resolution seismic migrated image could be obtained over this land area.Permalink: https://doi.org/10.1190/1.3513930FiguresReferencesRelatedDetailsCited BySimultaneous joint migration inversion with calendar-time constraints as a processing tool for semi-continuous surveysShan Qu and Eric Verschuur8 April 2021 | GEOPHYSICS, Vol. 86, No. 3Reflection intensity waveform inversionYike Liu, Bin He, Zhendong Zhang, Yingcai Zheng, and Peng Li8 April 2020 | GEOPHYSICS, Vol. 85, No. 3Land FWI in the Delaware Basin, west Texas: A case studyGary Murphy, Vanessa Brown, and Denes Vigh1 May 2020 | The Leading Edge, Vol. 39, No. 5Multiscale phase inversion for 3D ocean‐bottom cable data21 October 2019 | Geophysical Prospecting, Vol. 68, No. 3Full waveform inversion of combined towed streamer and limited OBS seismic data: a theoretical study11 June 2018 | Marine Geophysical Research, Vol. 40, No. 3Appendix C : Bibliography31 July 2019Regularized full-waveform inversion with automated salt floodingMahesh Kalita, Vladimir Kazei, Yunseok Choi, and Tariq Alkhalifah31 May 2019 | GEOPHYSICS, Vol. 84, No. 4Full-intensity waveform inversionYike Liu, Bin He, Huiyi Lu, Zhendong Zhang, Xiao-Bi Xie, and Yingcai Zheng23 October 2018 | GEOPHYSICS, Vol. 83, No. 6LARGE SCALE RANDOMIZED LEARNING GUIDED BY PHYSICAL LAWS WITH APPLICATIONS IN FULL WAVEFORM INVERSIONVolume source-based extended waveform inversionGuanghui Huang, Rami Nammour, and William W.
