Abstract

An interpreter’s perspective on the reservoir can be enhanced by the use and  understanding of density volumes estimated through the simultaneous inversion of pre-stack  P- wave seismic data as described by Hampson et al, 2005. Although it has been stated that  density estimates for low far angles of incidence are difficult to obtain, we present a rationale and an example of where it is possible to obtain useful density estimates from low angles.
