METHOD OF PRODUCING APRIORI HODOGRAPH FOR PERFORMING LITHOLOGIC AND STRATIGRAPHIC REFERENCING Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC G01V11/00 G01V1/00 G01V1/28 

FIELD: physics.

SUBSTANCE: method includes successive operations for acquiring and preparing data by a common-depth-point method, seismic logging, vertical seismic profiling, acoustic logging, gamma-ray density logging and verifying the quality of said data, and obtaining reference values of interval velocities; obtaining an initial hodograph and calculating a synthetic seismogram; performing quality control and inputting a constant time adjustment for landing on the upper reference horizon of the lithologic and stratigraphic system; recalculating the synthetic seismogram and performing quality control again; calculating and inputting an adjustment for landing on the lower reference horizon of the lithologic and stratigraphic system; recalculating the synthetic seismogram and performing quality control; transferring the point of the obtained hodograph to the nearest acoustically weak boundaries; recalculating the synthetic seismogram, followed by quality control and obtaining an apriori hodograph.

EFFECT: high reliability and accuracy of alignment of horizons of a time section and geologic marks of a well.
