Modelagem Sísmica Elástica 3D: Estudo de Caso na Bacia do Amazonas

The main focus of this work is concentrated on the Seismic Modeling schemes for 3D problems, using the Elastic Wave Equation. The computer program elaborated in this work use parallel processing resources and runs on microcomputer clusters, in order to reach the necessary computational power to operate the threedimensional simulations concerned to the petroleum industry. Synthetic results for a velocity model with real proportions for the Amazonian basin are presented and compared with real seismic data.
