Prestack Kirchhoff time migration for complex media
Constructing the seismic image in vertical time, as opposed to depth, eliminates the inherent ambiguity of resolving the vertical P -wave velocity from surface seismic data in transversely isotropic media with a vertical axis of symmetry (VTI media). By ray tracing in the space-time (x-τ)-domain, a traveltime map is built by interpolating the traveltime information along the rays onto a regular...
متن کامل3-D prestack depth migration: Why Kirchhoff?
3-D prestack depth migration is emerging as an industrial imaging tool. Many competing algorithms have been proposed by various authors. Nevertheless, the real bottleneck in 3D prestack processes is the sheer amount of input and output data. This paper reviews the principal migration methods on the basis of their capacity for data manipulation, without evaluating the algorithms themselves. It c...
متن کاملWave-equation prestack depth migration for sub-basalt P and converted wave imaging
We apply 2-D wave-equation prestack depth migration to a North Sea basalt dataset. High velocity and impedance contrasts across a basalt layer causes low P-wave reflection signal-to-noise ratio under the basalt. We first migrate the P-wave data with a provided depth velocity model, and then replace sub-basalt P-wave velocity with a simple estimate of shear wave velocity and migrate locally-conv...
متن کاملPrestack Kirchhoff Time Migration on High Performance Reconfigurable Computing Platform
A reconfigurable computing (RC) platform called SPACE (Seismic data Processing Accelerator with reConfigurable Engine) is proposed to accelerate the execution of 3D prestack Kirchhoff time migration (PSTM) based on the optimized 6 order NMO Correction technology (Sun et. al. 2002). Our simulations demonstrated up to 22 X performance improvement on the proposed RC platform comparing with the pur...
متن کاملFast 3D wave-equation migration-velocity analysis using the prestack exploding-reflector model
An accurate depth-velocity model is the key for obtaining good quality and reliable depth images in areas of complex geology. In such areas, velocity-model definition should use methods that describe the complexity of wavefield propagation, such as focusing and defocus ing, multiple arrivals, and frequency-dependent velocity sensitivity. Wave-equation tomography in the image space has the abili...
