INTRODUCTION
The more control the geoscientist has in mapping the
subsurface, the greater the accuracy of the maps. Control can
be increased by the correlation of seismic data with borehole
data. The synthetic seismogram (often called simply the
"synthetic") is the primary means of obtaining this
correlation.
Velocity data from the sonic log (and the density log, if
available) are used to create a synthetic seismic trace. This
trace closely approximates a trace from a seismic line that
passes close to the well in which the logs were acquired. The
synthetic then correlates with both the seismic data and the
well log from which it was generated.
