Detection and Removal of Delayed Seismic Travel Times Produced by Velocity Inversions

In seismic imaging, accurate velocity functions (velocity model) defining seismic velocity as a function of depth in the earth are required. The velocity model is obtained as a result of seismic surveying. Delayed travel times in near surface refraction seismic surveys, an effect known as shingling, can result from an anomalous condition, seismic velocity decreasing with depth. Inclusion of such delayed travel times in a tomographic process for seismic imaging would otherwise cause large errors in determination of a seismic velocity model for seismic imaging of subsurface features. At locations (source-receiver offset) in the survey where the shingling occurs, the velocity inversions are identified. The undesirable effects the delayed travel times caused by the velocity inversions are removed from the survey dataset.
