Abstract

ABSTRACTA linear instantaneous velocity model is used to describe the velocity variations in an uplifted unit that has been partly decompacted as a result of the reduction in overburden that often accompanies uplift. The model results in a series of equations for deriving values for the function parameters in the velocity–depth and the time– depth domains and for carrying out time‐to‐depth conversions. The formulation uses the base of the unit as a reference level to generate the reference datum from a combination of the depth of the base of the unit and a parameter that represents the decompaction factor.
