Abstract
Summary In the Gulf of Mexico (GOM) salt province we often find sediment carapace on top of shallow salt structures or in the basins around the salt. Conventional reflection tomography has difficulty giving any reliable updates for this layer due to the lack of reflection events in the geo-bodies. We applied Full Waveform Inversion (FWI) to a geologically challenging area where shallow geo-bodies, fractures, and carapaces co-exist with shallow salt. The high resolution of the FWI updated velocity provides a better image of the supra-salt, salt boundary and subsalt.
