Theory of differential offset continuation

چکیده
I introduce a partial differential equation to describe the process of prestack reflection data transformation in the offset, midpoint, and time coordinates. The equation is proved theoretically to provide correct kinematics and amplitudes on the transformed constant-offset sections. Solving an initial-value problem with the proposed equation leads to integral and frequency-domain offset continuation operators, which reduce to the known forms of dip moveout operators in the case of continuation to zero offset.

متن کاملAmplitude preserving offset continuation in theory Part 1: The offset continuation equation
This paper concerns amplitude-preserving kinematically equivalent offset continuation (OC) operators. I introduce a revised partial differential OC equation as a tool to build OC operators that preserve offset-dependent reflectivity in prestack processing. The method of characteristics is applied to reveal the geometric laws of the OC process. With the help of geometric (kinematic) construction...
متن کاملSeismic reflection data interpolation with differential offset and shot continuation
I propose a finite-difference offset continuation filter for interpolating seismic reflection data. The filter is constructed from the offset continuation differential equation and is applied on frequency slices in the log-stretch frequency domain. Synthetic and real data tests demonstrate that the proposed method succeeds in structurally complex situations where more simplistic approaches fail.

I propose a finite-difference offset continuation filter for interpolating seismic reflection data. The filter is constructed from the offset continuation differential equation and is applied on frequency slices in the log-stretch frequency domain. Synthetic data tests produce encouraging results: nearly perfect interpolation of a constant-velocity dataset with a complex reflector model and rea...
متن کاملAmplitude preserving offset continuation in theory Part 2: Solving the equation
I consider an initial value problem for the offset continuation (OC) equation introduced in Part One of this paper (SEP–84). The solutions of this problem create integral-type OC operators in the time-space domain. Moving to the frequency-wavenumber and log-stretch domain, I compare the obtained operators with the well-known Fourier DMO operators. This comparison links the theory of DMO with th...
