METHOD FOR DETERMING DISTINCT ALTERNATIVE PATHS BETWEEN TWO OBJECT SETS IN 2-D AND 3-D HETEROGENEOUS DATA

摘要

Distinct paths (40), e.g., locally optimal, are determined in a heterogeneous velocity field (32) between a source object and a target object (33) using gradients (35) of a two-way total arrival time field (34). The foregoing technique may be used to assess hydrocarbon reservoir connectivity.
