Popis: Time-lapse seismic timeshifts are now widely used to study reservoir compaction. This is possible since (overburden) time-lapse timeshifts can be attributed to compaction-induced overburden stretching, increasing the length of the seismic ray-path, and associated velocity slowdown. Both path-length increase and velocity slowdown cause an increase in traveltime in a seismic monitor survey compared to a base-line survey.
