On the one hand, there are many geophysicists who feel that AVO is the greatest thing to ever happen to the geophysical industry and who refuse to do any exploration work without including this technique. On the other hand, there is a second group of geophysicists who claim that the AVO method has been so strongly oversold that it has hurt the industry (see Geophysical credibility‐A key to professional survival by Norman Neidell, December 1992 TLE). My own opinion is that the truth lies somewhere between these two polar extremities.
