Methodical and technological aspects of full wave modeling in the processing of seismic data
The methodical and technological aspects of employment of full-wave 3D computer modeling in seismic studies at various stages of the geological exploration process are considered, i.e. from planning to the assessment of the correctness and quality of the results obtained at different stages. The authors analise possible ways of model construction in connection with the choice of the structure of geological medium models and with information provision for the specification of its characteristics. Approximation of real geological models in the form of individual sedimentary complexes and their target objects combined according to their level of mapping detail is proposed which provides the maximum computing performance for a given configuration of hardware.
