Abstract:
A method is provided for constraining a seismic inversion using real-time measurements. The method comprises: receiving a seismic signal/seismic data; obtaining logging-while-drilling (LWD) measurements made during a drilling procedure; using the LWD measurements to constrain an inversion of the seismic signal/data; and using the inverted seismic signal/data to: obtain an image of a subterranean section of the Earth, determine properties of the subterranean section of the Earth and/or update a model of the subterranean section of the Earth.
