Geophysical joint inversion requires setting of few parameters for the optimum performance of the process. However, there are yet no known detailed procedures for selecting the various parameters for performing the joint inversion. Previous works on the joint inversion of EM and seismic data have reported parameter applications for both data sets acquired from the same dimensional geometry (either both in 2D or in 3D) and few on variant geometry. But none has discussed the parameter selections for the joint inversion of methods from variant geometry (for example a 2D seismic travel and pseudo-2D frequency-domain EM data). With the advantage of affordable computational cost and the sufficient approximation of 1D EM model in a horizontally layered sedimentary environment we are able to set optimum joint inversion parameters to perform structurally constrained joint 2D seismic traveltime and pseudo-2D EM data for hydrocarbon exploration. From the synthetic experiments, even in the presence of noise, we are a...
