Depth Characterization of Shallow Aquifers with Seismic Reflection, Part II—Prestack Depth Migration and Field Examples
It is common in shallow seismic studies for the compressional-wave velocity in unconsolidated sediments to increase by a factor of four or more at the transition from dry or partial water saturation to full saturation. Under these conditions, conventional NMO velocity analysis fails and leads to large depth and layer thickness estimates if the Dix equation is assumed valid. Prestack depth migra...
متن کاملMigration of Shallow Reflection Data
We present an analysis of migration effects on seismic reflection images of very shallow targets. Reflection objectives in engineering, groundwater, and environmental investigations commonly occur at depths between 2 and 50 m. Because the observation surface is near these imaged reflectors, optical distortion may be so small that migration will not have any effect on the seismic image and may t...
متن کاملprestack depth migration using CFP gathers
The common-focus-point technology CFP describes prestack migration by focusing in two steps: emission and detection. The output of the first focusing step represents a CFP gather. This gather defines a shot record that represents the subsurface response resulting from a focused source wavefield. We propose applying the recursive shot-record, depthmigration algorithm to the CFP gathers of a seis...
متن کاملPitfalls in Shallow Seismic Reflection
Substantial progress has occurred during the past 15 years in development of shallow CDP seismic-reflection techniques, but there are occasional interpretation problems with the resulting data. We discuss examples of the pitfalls of the method, along with some procedures to help avoid them. Problems that often occur include spatial aliasing of ground roll, interpreting processed ground-coupled ...
متن کاملKinematic Artifacts in Prestack Depth Migration
Strong refraction of waves in the migration velocity model introduces kinematic artifacts coherent events not corresponding to actual reflectors into the image volumes produced by prestack depth migration applied to individual data bins. Because individual bins are migrated independently, the migration has no access to the bin component of slowness. This loss of slowness information permits eve...
