The Velocity model bar gives you access to the tools used to build, import, calibrate and quality-control a depth velocity model. The velocity model is used to convert interpreted data between the time and depth domains and to support depth imaging and structural interpretation.

All commands of the bar are collected in the Actions section of the Velocity model tab. The import command is captioned Model on the ribbon; its tooltip shows Import depth velocity model.

For more information about the velocity models please refer to Velocity model.

Buttons

The bar contains the following buttons:

Create depth velocity — opens the velocity modeling wizard, where you build a new depth velocity model (for example a constant or a layered model) from horizons, checkshots and well data.

Import depth velocity model — loads an existing depth velocity model from an external file into the project.

Update depth velocity by well tie — calibrates the depth velocity model to the wells, adjusting velocities so that the modelled depths match the well markers (well-tie).

Calibrate depth velocity — opens a wizard to calibrate an existing depth velocity model to wells. The button is disabled if there is no velocity model in the project.

Clear all well-tied maps — removes all well-tie corrections previously applied to the velocity maps, restoring the uncalibrated model.

Pine creation — builds a Pine chart from the velocity model for interval-velocity analysis and quality control.
