New Geological Understanding with Land FWI Imaging, a Sultanate of Oman case study

While Land Full-Waveform Inversion (FWI) has been applied to seismic data in Oman, its use has typically been limited to low-frequency updates for migration. This technical article presents a breakthrough application of acoustic FWI up to 35 Hz, enabled by optimized data conditioning, initial model preparation, and velocity inversion. The resulting FWI Image, derived from the velocity model, delivers a superior view of the complex fault system, surpassing conventional imaging methods by leveraging the full wavefield and least-squares fitting across all frequencies.
