Claim 0:
1. A method for performing hydrocarbon management in a subsurface formation, including transforming seismic data into a subsurface physical property model, the method comprising:
accessing the seismic data;
constructing the subsurface physical property model by performing tomographic inversion of the seismic data, using a computer, with residual depth errors (RDE);
wherein the RDE are reconstructed from time lags of wave equation migration resulting in reconstructed RDE; and
using the reconstructed RDE in one or both of a development stage in which one or more actions are performed in the subsurface formation, or an extraction stage in which hydrocarbons are extracted from the subsurface formation.
