The migrated images show considerable time delay in the vicinity
of the injector, especially near the S2 zone at the base of
the P formation. These time delays are likely to be caused by
a velocity decrease in the reservoir due to heating
and replacement of pore fluid with steam. Additionally, some evidence
exists for time pull-up (reflection events which arrive at
smaller traveltimes due to velocity increase)
to the west of the injector. I will
later discuss how these time pull-ups may be caused by velocity increases
associated with a pressure front that has propagated to the west.
