Why is it important?

Discovery and thickness estimates of low velocity layers underlying high velocity layers have great implications for the oil industry because of possible accumulation of the commercially exploitable oil or gas that can be trapped in those low velocity sedimentary structures.

Perspectives

With the requisition from a major oil exploration/exploitation industry this research was initiated to develop a practical methodology for determining the thickness of the suspected low velocity layers that are likely to be oil-bearing structures and the results proved to be successful.
