    Abstract: Methods for updating a physical properties model of a subsurface region that combine advantages of FWI and tomography into a joint inversion scheme are provided. One method comprises obtaining measured seismic data; generating simulated seismic data using an initial model; computing at least one of an FWI gradient and a tomography gradient; minimizing a joint objective function E, wherein the objective function E is based on a combination of the FWI gradient and the tomography gradient or preconditioning of the FWI gradient or the tomography gradient; generating a final model based on the minimized joint objective function E; and using the final model to generate a subsurface image. The joint objective function E may be a function of one or both a FWI objective function CFWI and a tomography objective function CTomo. The joint objective function E may be defined as a weighted sum of CFWI and CTomo.

    Abstract: Method for obtaining rock parameters such as porosity and vshale directly from inversion of seismic data corresponding to a single trace location. This method is distinguished from existing methods that obtain elastic properties from inversion of seismic data, then relate the elastic parameters to rock lithology parameters such as porosity or vshale because it is accomplished in one step, can incorporate anisotropy and does not require multiple trace locations for stability. The data are separated into partial stacks, and a wavelet is specified for each stack. A set of linearized equations are constructed relating seismic reflectivity to changes in elastic parameters, and another set of linearized equations is constructed relating the changes in elastic parameters to the lithologic parameters. The linearized reflectivity equations are combined with the linearized rock physics equations, convolved with the specified wavelets, and equated to the seismic data. The resulting matrix equations are then inverted and a solution is obtained for all offsets simultaneously.
