Velocity

Term · Oil and gas · MLC-T-OAG-004017

The speed and direction at which a seismic wave propagates through a medium, typically measured in meters per second or feet per second. It is influenced by the elastic properties and density of the rock. Seismic velocity is a key parameter for converting seismic traveltimes to depth and for characterizing subsurface lithology.
