Salt interpretation often includes two steps: highlighting salt boundaries with a salt attribute image and extracting salt boundaries from the attribute image. The deepwater Gulf of Mexico (GOM) is characterized by complex salt structures, and a major portion of velocity model building is often devoted to obtaining accurate salt geometries and intra-salt velocities. Full-waveform inversion was then applied to the resulting dataset. The traditional approach is to highlight the salt boundaries with a salt image attribute and then extract the frontier manually or with the help of a semi-automated process.
