Numerical experiment
• The DBIT inversion method in differential time-lapse mode will be used in an attempt to reconstruct the monitor model and the corresponding time-lapse changes, with the baseline model as the initial model.
• The grid sizes for modelling and inversion is (25m x 5m) and (100m x 5m), respectively.
• Local minima are avoided by using a multi-scale regularization technique with the following selected frequencies: (1, 3, 5, 7.5, 12, 15, 18, 20) Hz. 30

Uncertainties in the rock physics model
• Are Gassmann’s formulae always valid?
• How do we model pressure effects?
• How about clay content and other parameters.
• Contact theory vs inclusion models.

Concluding remarks• The DBIT method of Jakobsen and Ursin (2015) =
a powerful tool for seismic FWI in time-lapse mode, suitable for uncertainty analysis (Eikrem et al., 2015).
• An elastic version of the DBIT method is currently under development.
• Rock physics can help FWI in anisotropic media.
• Uncertainties in the rock physics model can be dealt with in a systematic manner.
