Apparent velocity

Term · Oil and gas · MLC-T-OAG-000164

The velocity at which a seismic wave appears to travel along a surface or interface, as measured by receivers. This is often different from the true velocity of the wave within the medium. Apparent velocity is calculated from the slope of a traveltime curve on a seismic record.
