Angle decompositions of images migrated by wavefield extrapolation
نویسنده
چکیده
I present an extension to the angle-domain decomposition of images migrated using wavefield extrapolation. Traditionally, reflectivity is described by a 1-D function of scattering angle. I show that we can further decompose the image function of other angles related to the structure and acquisition. In the 2-D case, the reflectivity is described function of two angles, while in the 3-D case the reflectivity is described function of four angles. Applications for such a multi-angle decomposition include amplitude and illumination compensation due to limited acquisition.

Coordinate-independent angle-gathers for wave equation migration
We formulate angle decomposition, during and after wavefield extrapolation, independent of the choice of coordinate systems. The key idea is to describe the source-receiver separation during wavefield extrapolation as a vector quantity. This formulation links the reflection angle to the magnitude of the offset vector, thus reducing the cost and storage associated with angle decomposition. This ...
متن کاملAngle-domain common-image gathers by wavefield continuation methods
Migration in the angle domain creates seismic images for different reflection angles. We present a method for computing angle-domain common-image gathers from seismic images obtained by depth migration using wavefield continuation. Our method operates on prestack migrated images and produces the output as a function of the reflection angle, not as a function of offset ray parameter as in other ...
متن کاملWave-equation migration velocity analysis using extended images
Wave-equation migration velocity analysis (WEMVA) is a velocity estimation technique designed to invert for velocity information using migrated images. Its capacity for handling multi-pathing makes it appropriate in complex subsurface regions characterized by strong velocity variation. WEMVA operates by establishing a linear relation between a velocity model perturbation and a corresponding mig...
متن کاملPrestack 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 کاملWave-equation Migration in Generalized Coordinate Systems a Dissertation Submitted to the Department of Geophysics and the Committee on Graduate Studies of Stanford University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy
Wave-equation migration using one-way wavefield extrapolation operators is commonly used in industry to generate images of complex geologic structure from 3D seismic data. By design, most conventional wave-equation approaches restrict propagation to downward continuation, where wavefields are recursively extrapolated to depth on Cartesian meshes. In practice, this approach is limited in high-an...
