Abstract
A method, including: generating a velocity model for a subsurface region of the Earth by using a full wavefield inversion process; generating an impedance model for the subsurface region of the Earth by using a full wavefield inversion process; and estimating pore pressure at a prediction site in the subsurface region by integrating the velocity model and the impedance model with a velocity-based pore pressure estimation process.
