Joint Bayesian AVO Inversion of PP- and PS-Waves Based on Exact Reflection Coefficients of VTI Media (opens in new tab)

Vertically transverse isotropic (VTI) media are widely present in the Earth’s crust, particularly in reservoirs; therefore, accurately characterizing crustal stratigraphic features is essential. However, most existing inversion methods for VTI media are primarily based on approximate reflection coefficients, with some employing exact coefficient equations, often using a two-step strategy or single P-wave inversion. While joint simultaneous inversion based on the exact reflection coefficient e...
