More geoscientists understand the concept of impedance and geology than the seismic trace. Thus, working in the impedance domain is a great mechanism for integrating with the various disciplines in a multidisciplinary asset team.

The seismic bandwidth is effectively extended.

Provides two seismic data sets, one consistent with low frequencies and other with the high frequencies.

Stratigraphic interpretation may be improved.

May provide quantitative predictions on the reservoir properties.

Removes the effects of the wavelet within the seismic bandwidth.

Reservoir properties can be separated from the overburden.

Forces well ties to be made and understood.
