- Full-waveform inversion (FWI) has generated in excess of $US200 billion of value to the petroleum industry according to BP. This study provided a practical solution to a long-standing problem that had limited its widest utility, leading directly to the formation of Sub Salt Solutions Limited, a VC-funded start-up providing services to the oil and gas industry. The technology is patented in the UK under GB2509223 with worldwide protection pending. The paper won the 2015 Guido Bonarelli Award from the European Association of Geoscientists and Engineers.
