        <procdesc>A synthetic seismogram is a one-dimensional model of acoustic energy traveling through the layers of the Earth and expressed visually as a ‘wiggle-trace’. Synthetic seismograms provide a means to calibrate seismic-reflection profiles to specific subsurface stratigraphic events observed in one-dimensional core and geophysical log data acquired from wells. Independently, Walker Marine Geophysical Company (10 wells) and Geokinetics Incorporated (4 wells) used velocity data only from 14 borehole-compensated sonic logs, and in one case both a velocity and density log were used to calculate an acoustic impedance, as input for specialized geophysical software to generate 14 synthetic seismograms. These synthetic seismograms allow idealized reflections generated from borehole data to be directly compared with reflections from the seismic data. The log data were converted to a synthetic seismic trace using synthetic-seismogram production software. For the 13 wells, where only velocity logs were used due to lack of density logs, the synthetic seismogram modeling was run without density. This method is valid when the time relationship between horizons is accurate, since the time is related only to velocity, but reflector amplitude is not perfectly accurate (Ewing, T.E., 1997). There is an imperfection in amplitude, where only velocity data is used, because amplitude is based on impedance (velocity multiplied by density). The modeled or synthetic wiggle traces produced by the Walker Marine Geophysical Company were generated using an Ormsby wavelet with a frequency band of 5-250 Hertz (Hz) and a taper between frequencies of 5-15 Hz and 200-250 Hz. Synthetic wiggle traces produced by Geokinectics used an Ormsby wavelet with a frequency band of either 0-250 Hz or 0-260 Hz and a taper between frequencies of 0-3 and 200-250 Hz or 0-60 and 140-260 Hz, respectively. For 8 wells, the synthetic seismograms were used to relate geologic and geophysical well data directly to the respective seismic-reflection data. The other 6 wells and accompanying synthetic seismograms were too far from the seismic lines to allow for correlation, but improved understanding of the seismic response of the lithologic/seismic boundaries and velocities, and were used to generate time-depth functions that allowed for constraining the 3D horizons between canals. Stratigraphic and hydrogeologic interfaces selected on borehole gamma ray and sonic velocity data and in some cases resistivity data were correlated to the synthetic-seismogram wavelets and then finally these synthetic wavelets fit to the true wavelet traces on seismic-reflection profiles. Caliper logs were used to assist in evaluating where on the synthetic seismogram wavelet traces there may be errors in the sonic velocity logs and thus a mistie between the synthetic wavelets and seismic-profile wavelets. Selected stratigraphic and hydrogeologic interfaces were identified on the basis of comparisons to published geologic and hydrogeologic frameworks (Reese and Richardson, 2008; Reese and Cunningham, 2013, 2014). The direct correlation of key traces on the synthetic seismograms to seismic-reflection profiles was not a perfect fit; however, some disparity is common between synthetic seismograms and seismic-reflection profiles (Bruns and others, 1994; Ewing, 1997) and in many cases is a result of imperfect modeling of synthetic seismograms.
