 Stochastic inversion is a seismic inversion technique that generates multiple subsurface models to capture the uncertainty and variability in the seismic data. Unlike deterministic inversion, which produces a single best-fit model, stochastic inversion recognizes that several equally plausible models may explain the observed data. By creating an ensemble of possible subsurface models, stochastic inversion provides a probabilistic understanding of subsurface properties, offering insights into the range of potential scenarios rather than just one.

This approach is instrumental in complex geological settings or when data quality is poor, as it helps assess the risks and uncertainties associated with subsurface interpretation. The multiple realizations generated by stochastic inversion can be analyzed to determine the likelihood of different geological features or reservoir characteristics, aiding in decision-making for exploration, reservoir management, and risk assessment. Stochastic inversion is a powerful tool for geoscientists when dealing with uncertain or ambiguous seismic data, allowing for a more comprehensive and informed analysis of the subsurface.
