Depth slice of coherence cube from Depth slice of coherence cube from 6000 feet of well-based PSDM 6000 feet of prestack time migrated velocity model PSDM Depth slice of coherence cube from Depth slice of coherence cube from 6000 feet of well-based PSDM 5805 feet of prestack time migrated velocity model PSDM Figure 74. Comparison of depth slices of coherence between the well-based model and the semblance based model. Faults and salt used to illustrated higher fidelity in the previous chapter (Chapter 4) Figure 64 were also used in this example. Because the same events are imaged at different depths, the prestack time migrated velocity model velocity being slower and about 200 feet shallower, comparisons are made at the same depth, compensating for the difference. At shallower depths there is not much difference. As depth increases faults interpreted in the seismic and seen on the coherence are imaged with the well-based PSDM data, but not with the prestack time migrated velocity model PSDM. The salt also appears to be more sharply imaged in the well-based PSDM data. 118
