AbstractAbout the AuthorsReferences
The article is devoted to the methodology of constructing a velocity model based on vertical seismic profiling (VSP) data using the INTEGRO GIS software package. The stages of VSP data processing are examined — from initial preparation and filtering to the construction of the velocity model and its subsequent interpretation. The tools and functions implemented in the system are described, including outlier removal, generalization of time markers, correlation with well logging data, and propagation of models across a group of wells. Special attention is given to the application of INTEGRO GIS in both educational and industrial settings, making the software a versatile solution for training as well as for solving applied geophysical interpretation tasks.
