Figure 74. Comparison <strong>of</strong> depth slices <strong>of</strong> coherence between the well-based model and the semblance<br />

based model. Faults and salt used to illustrated higher fidelity in the previous chapter (Chapter<br />

4) Figure 64 were also used in this example. Because the same events are imaged at different<br />

depths, the prestack time migrated velocity model velocity being slower and about 200 feet<br />

shallower, comparisons are made at the same depth, compensating for the difference. At<br />

shallower depths there is not much difference. As depth increases faults interpreted in the<br />

s<strong>eismic</strong> and seen on the coherence are imaged with the well-based PSDM data, but not with the<br />

prestack time migrated velocity model PSDM. The salt also appears to be more sharply<br />

imaged in the well-based PSDM data.<br />
