A comparison of the imaging conditions and principles in depth migration algorithms
نویسنده
چکیده
Seismic migration/inversion is presently the most used method for determining the structure and properties of the sub-surface in seismic exploration for hydrocarbons. Determining the location of abrupt changes in medium’s parameters involves, in one form or another, an imaging principle which can simply be stated by equating a component, or the full value of the travel-time t, with zero. Depending on the domain of definition of the imaged data, i.e. space-frequency or wavenumber-frequency, the imaging step has different implications, capabilities and produces different results. We analyze this principle for the depth migration procedures and point out that the space-frequency algorithms imply a total travel-time condition t = 0 while the wavenumber-frequency algorithms imply vertical intercept time condition τ = 0. We present two analytic examples of the most common migration algorithms for both domains, i.e. f − k migration for the wavenumber-frequency and Kirchhoff for the space-frequency algorithms. In addition, we discuss the implications of the different imaging principle that these algorithms use.

Improving seismic image in complex structures by new solving strategies in the CO-CRS and the CO-CDS methods
Conventional seismic imaging possesses problem in exposing structural detail in complex geological media. Nevertheless, some recently introduced methods reduce this ambiguity to some extent, by using data based imaging operator or emancipation from the macro-velocity model. The zero offset common reflection surface (ZO-CRS) stack method is a velocity independent imaging technique which is frequ...
متن کاملAn improvement in RTM method to image steep dip petroleum bearing structures and its superiority to other methods
In this paper, first the limitations of the ray-based method and the one-way wave-field extrapolation migration (WEM) in imaging steeply dipping structures are discussed by some examples. Then a new method of the reverse time migration (RTM), used in imaging such complex structures is presented. The proposed method uses a new wave-field extrapolator called the Leapfrog-Rapid Expansion Method (L...

متن کاملSpatiotemporal Estimation of PM2.5 Concentration Using Remotely Sensed Data, Machine Learning, and Optimization Algorithms
PM 2.5 (particles <2.5 μm in aerodynamic diameter) can be measured by ground station data in urban areas, but the number of these stations and their geographical coverage is limited. Therefore, these data are not adequate for calculating concentrations of Pm2.5 over a large urban area. This study aims to use Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD) satellite images and meteorological data from 2014 to 2017 ...
متن کاملAnalyzing the Way of the Nomads’ Life and Its Effect on Their Habitat System along with the Migration Route and summer and Winter Camps Case study: Boyer-Ahmad Nomads
Nomadic life is a way of life with annual relocation in which a group of people moves with their cattle from winter tents to summer pastures and returns to their winter camps in the cold season. The most important characteristic of nomadic life is movement to meet the needs of their life style. This relocation requires certain conditions which overshadow all aspects of nomadic life such as arch...
