Abstract
As anisotropic depth imaging is widely used in the industry, anisotropic velocity models are routinely being constructed and applied. However, the degree of accuracy of the anisotropic velocity model needed to correctly position the horizons is not well defined. To that end, we tested four anisotropic parameter estimation scenarios and performed depth imaging using a realistic synthetic sedimentary seismic data that included an irregularly shaped salt body. Although similar images derived from the data using those four different anisotropic input models were obtained, a quantitative analysis indicates that systematic differences do exist. They enable us to relate the degree of accuracy needed in the image to the effort needed to build the anisotropic velocity model.
