Abstract: With the development of technologies for geological exploration, the structural maps with higher accuracy have been needed, and the higher requirements for developing seismic velocity fields and structure-mapping methods with variable velocities have been proposed. In this paper, studies on combination of stack velocity field with t0 horizon field, picking up t0 time varied rate in different blocks and segments of all controlling horizons are conducted, based on the 2D seismic data, conventional hori-zon control approach for developing seismic velocity field and using optimized horizon control method. Also, by developed 3D model, the interval velocity is calculated, base-level selection and correction is made, time-depth conversion is performed with re-fracted tracing method; by well log input data, quick corrections of interval velocity and depth maps by using drilling individual-layei data are discussed. Hence,the mapping accuracy could be improved,obtaining satisfied effects of mapping structures.

Key words: interval velocity, base-level correction, control, 3D, accuracy
