Seismic tomography has been developed and applied for decades in seismological applications and for basic research purposes. During the last decade, large‐scale applications in the oil and gas industry became standard as tomostatics and velocity modelling for pre‐stack depth migration. In this paper, I take a snapshot of some current industrial applications, quantifying practical aspects by yardsticks such as data and model size and I try to draw a road map for the current decade.
