Method for multi-parameter inversion using elastic inversion. This method decomposes data into offset / angle groups and performs inversion on them in sequential order. This method can significantly speed up convergence of the iterative inversion process, and is therefore most advantageous when used for full waveform inversion (FWI). The present inventive approach draws upon relationships between reflection energy and reflection angle, or equivalently, offset dependence in elastic FWI. The invention uses recognition that the amplitudes of small angle (near offset) reflections are largely determined by acoustic impedance alone (1), independent for the most part of Vp / Vs. Large angle (middle and far offset) reflections are affected by Ip, Vp / Vs (2) and other earth parameters such as density (3) and anisotropy. Therefore, the present inventive method decomposes data into angle or offset groups in performing multi-parameter FWI to reduce crosstalk between the different model parameters being determined in the inversion.

A full wave inversion (FWI) may utilize an Amplitude-Frequency-Differentiation (AFD) or a Phase-Frequency-Differentiation (PFD) operation to form a velocity model of a subterranean formation utilizing recovered low wavenumber data. Received seismic data is processes to isolate two data signals at different frequencies. In an AFD operation, the two data signals are summed and the data of the envelope of the summed function is used for the FWI. In a PFD operation, the phase data of the quotient of the two data signals is used for the FWI. The FWI proceeds iteratively utilizing either the AFD or PFD data or with single frequency data until the cost function of the AFD or PFD is satisfied.

Geophysical features of the formation are imaged based on the updated velocity model.
