Automating prestack migration analysis using common focal point gathers
نویسنده
چکیده
CFP technology (Berkhout, 1996a,b) addresses these limitations in a novel way. By breaking the model determination process into two simpler, more easily solved problems, those of operator estimation and macro model estimation, the final solution will typically be more accurate. Moreover, by providing rapid local convergence to the correct travel-time operators, migration analysis can be automated, resulting in reduced manpower requirements and shorter time-to-solution.

Prestack migration velocity analysis using wavefront synthesis
Common-reflection-point (CRP) gathers provide important clues in various migration velocity analysis schemes (Al-Yahya, 1987; Etgen, 1990). Conventionally, CRP gathers are obtained by prestack migration of shot records or constant-offset sections. This paper introduces a way to generate a CRP gather for residual velocity analysis using wavefront synthesis imaging. Compared to CRP gathers obtain...
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 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...
متن کاملTomographic velocity estimation with planewave synthesis imaging
In areas with structurally complex geology, tomographic velocity analysis is required to estimate velocities. This paper describes a tomographic velocity analysis algorithm which uses planewave synthesis imaging as a prestack migration. In reflection tomography, prestack migration is required for both event picking and traveltime error computation. Traveltime errors are often measured in the fo...
متن کاملPrestack migration deconvolution+AVO inversion
Measuring reflection amplitude versus offset (AVO) has proved to be effective in reservoir characterization. Experience shows that AVO inversion methods based on amplitude-preserved prestack migration typically provides a more accurate lithology estimate than NMO-based AVO analysis. However, some artifacts may be introduced into the migration section due to an undersampled acquisition geometry,...
