2004 BP velocity estimation benchmark model
Contents
Overview
This model was created by Frederic Billette and Sverre Brandsberg-Dahl as a blind test for the Velocity workshop at the 66th EAGE international meeting in Paris, France, in June 2004. The left side of the model is based on a geological cross section through the Western Gulf of Mexico. The central part the model is a simplified representation of geologic features in the Eastern/Central Gulf of Mexico and off-shore Angola. The right side of the model is a composite representation of velocity issues encountered in the Caspian Sea, North Sea or Trinidad. The model is popular for benchmarking prestack depth migration, especially reverse time migration.

Madagascar processing scripts
If you have installed the Madagascar development release, you have scripts to download and display the data. You may need to update your copy of the Madagascar installation to ensure you have contents added after March 2015. To update your copy of Madagascar enter this dialog into a terminal window:
cd $RSFSRC/book/data svn update
To run the processing scripts enter this dialog into a terminal window:
cd bpvelanal2004/fetch scons view
