Three-dimensional pre-stack Kirchhoff migration of deep seismic reflection data

Pre-stack Kirchhoff Time Migration on Hadoop and Spark

Pre-stack Kirchhoff time migration (PKTM) is one of the most widely used migration algorithms in seismic imaging area. However, PKTM takes considerable time due to its high computational cost, which greatly affects the working efficiency of oil industry. Due to its high fault tolerance and scalability, Hadoop has become the most popular platform for big data processing. To overcome the shortcom...

Pre-stack full waveform inversion of ultra-high-frequency marine seismic reflection data

Filter bank optimization for high-dimensional compression of pre-stack seismic data

A multi-dimensional variable-length subband coder for prestack seismic data was presented. A 2and 3-D separable near perfect reconstruction filter bank was optimized to maximize the coding gain, assuming that the correlation properties of pre-stack seismic data can be modeled by directional dependent autoregressive processes. Identical quantization and entropy coder allocation strategies were u...

Terahertz reflection imaging using Kirchhoff migration.

We describe a new imaging method that uses single-cycle pulses of terahertz (THz) radiation. This technique emulates data-collection and image-processing procedures developed for geophysical prospecting and is made possible by the availability of fiber-coupled THz receiver antennas. We use a simple migration procedure to solve the inverse problem; this permits us to reconstruct the location and...

seismic imaging of complex structures by integrating pre-stack time migration and surface stacking methods

the conventional approach to seismic data analysis consists of two main steps: estimating seismic velocities, (the subsurface macro-model), and seismic imaging, (mapping of the reflected seismic energy to the reflector positions). the aim and the major challenge in the seismic data analysis is the construction of the best undistorted image. this challenge would be more problematic when geometri...
