Ray based tomography using residual Stolt migration
نویسنده
چکیده
In complex areas, residual vertical movement is not an effective method to calculate traveltime errors for image domain tomography. By scanning over velocity ratios using residual Stolt migration, a different criteria for a coherent image can be defined, and a traveltime error approximated. The resulting traveltime errors are more accurate, therefore the tomography procedure is more robust than the more traditional methodology. Results are shown on a complex 2-D dataset.

Prestack residual migration in the frequency domain
Prestack Stolt residual migration can be applied to seismic images that are depth migrated using wavefield extrapolation techniques. This method has significant advantages over other methods that estimate interval velocity functions for depth migration. It is more accurate than methods that are based on focusing the stack of migrated images by a residual NMO operation, so it provides a more acc...
متن کاملPrestack Stolt residual migration for migration velocity analysis
This paper presents a method of Stolt residual migration applicable to prestack data. The method’s main merit is that instead of requiring an assumption about the magnitude of the new velocity model to which we want to residually migrate, it only calls for an assumption about the ratio of the reference velocity to the new one. Since the method is, in essence, a Stolt-stretch technique, it inher...
متن کاملVariable-velocity prestack Stolt residual migration with application to a North Sea dataset
This paper investigates the applicability of prestack Stolt residual migration when the original image is obtained using an arbitrary velocity model. At its origin, the method is based on an assumption of constant velocity. However, its formulation for depth-migrated images involves a ratio of the reference and target velocities; therefore, for residual migration it is completely irrelevant if ...
متن کاملWave-equation migration velocity analysis by inversion of differential image perturbations
Wave-equation migration velocity analysis is based on the linear relation that can be established between a perturbation in the migrated image and the corresponding perturbation in the slowness function. Our method formulates an objective function in the image space, in contrast with other wave-equation tomography techniques which formulate objective functions in the data space. We iteratively ...
متن کاملEnhancing common-image gathers with prestack Stolt residual migration
Wave-equation migration velocity analysis is a two-step process: first, we estimate the perturbation between a starting image and a better-focused image, and then invert for the perturbation in slowness that explains the perturbation in image obtained in the first step. The key to success is to obtain a sharp image, with flat common-image gathers at every location. In this paper, I show how pre...
