Velocity continuation and the anatomy of residual prestack time migration
Velocity continuation is an imaginary continuous process of seismic image transformation in the postmigration domain. It generalizes the concepts of residual and cascaded migrations. Understanding the laws of velocity continuation is crucially important for a successful application of time-migration velocity analysis. These laws predict the changes in the geometry and intensity of reflection ev...
متن کاملSimultaneous measurement of water flow velocity with fluorescent and speckle imaging technique
The average velocity of water flow has been simultaneously measured with fluorescent and speckle imaging methods. The measured velocities with two methods are in good agreement with each other and it confirms that the speckle imaging method can be used as a confident method to measure the velocity of water flow in a dry leaf. Also the velocity of water flow through thick and thin xylems of a le...
متن کاملPrestack imaging of overturned reflections by reverse time migration
We present a simple method for computing angle-domain Common Image Gathers (CIGs) using prestack reverse time migration. The proposed method is an extension of the method proposed by Rickett and Sava (2001) to compute CIGs by downward-continuation shot-profile migration. We demonstrate with a synthetic example the use of the CIG gathers for migration velocity updating. A challenge for imaging b...
متن کاملPrestack 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 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...
