    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for processing seismic data acquired with multicomponent sensors build an accurate S-wave velocity model of a surveyed underground formation using a full waveform inversion (FWI) approach. PS synthetic data is generated using approximative acoustic equations in anisotropic media with a P-wave model, a current S-wave velocity model and a reflectivity model as inputs. The current S-wave velocity model is updated using FWI to minimize an amplitude-discrepancy-mitigating cost function that alleviates the amplitude mismatch between the PS observed data and the PS synthetic data due to the use of the approximative acoustic equations.

    Abstract: A method for seismic exploration uses visco-acoustic FWI to model velocity and quality factor Q for an explored subsurface formation. The method employs frequency-dependent velocity to reduce cross-talk between Q and velocity and may be used for both isotropic and anisotropic media.

    Abstract: A method for raw seismic data inversion includes receiving raw seismic data acquired over an underground formation, receiving an initial velocity model of the underground formation, performing a dynamic resolution full waveform inversion, DR-FWI, on the raw seismic data so that a tomography component of a velocity gradient G is compensated to generate a compensated tomographic component while a diving wave component and a migration component are preserved, outputting an updated velocity model based on an illumination compensated velocity gradient G′, which is calculated based on the compensated tomographic component), and locating natural resources in the underground formation using the updated velocity model updated by the DR-FWI.
