Ray Tracing, Finite Difference Combine for Better Modeling
Mike Branston Hart’s E&P Conference Newspaper, SEG October 2009.
Integration is a key word in today’s G&G software market. NORSAR, known for its research in the field of seismic forward modeling, is addressing this by building on its expertise in ray-based methods to provide a suite of innovative forward-modeling solutions based around its advanced ray tracing engine. Innovation, versatility, and sound geophysical theory are all principles associated with the NORSAR seismic modeling suite of software, but what room is there for ray-tracing in this world of super computers and increasingly efficient finite-difference codes?
