The paragraph reads: "Inversion includes both seismic data and well data, where well data serves to add the low frequency below the seismic band and to constrain the inversion." Isn't log data at a much higher frequency than seismic? Hamsterlopithecus (talk) 13:40, 26 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yep, in fact the first thing you do is band-limit the well log data. The problem you are trying to address is seismic traditional doesn't resolve anything below ~8Hz. You fill this in with a low frequency model using anything you can. --Toastar (talk) 18:54, 12 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I moved the text below here from the article's introductory section, since it was unreferenced:

NOTE: The article below provides a good general reference but readers should be advised that it is written to specifically represent the methodologies and workflow of the commercial company Fugro-Jason and omits many valid alternative techniques which may perform better in certain circumstances. The references are predominantly to published articles by John Pendrel, an employee of Fugro-Jason. --Miniapolis (talk) 00:41, 4 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
