Abstract

The present disclosure describes methods and systems, including computer-implemented methods, computer program products, and computer systems, for generating a velocity model for a subsurface structure. One computer-implemented method for determining velocity model for a subsurface structure includes generating, by at least one hardware processor, a first velocity model for the subsurface structure by performing a refraction traveltime tomography procedure based on an initial velocity model; and generating, by the at least one hardware processor, a first refined velocity model based on the first velocity model and a structure skeleton model, wherein the structure skeleton model is determined based on reflection seismic data of the subsurface structure.
