V. Conclusion
IV. Conclusion
• Advantage of PS transmission migration– it is capable of illuminating the boundary of
salt flanks above the receivers (and nearly vertical boundaries if they exist).
IV. Conclusion• Benefits of IM:
– Remove influence of static shifts and/or migration velocity errors;
– Eliminated source statics by correlation;
– Accurately image the salt boundary above the receivers;
• Drawbacks of IM:– Migration artifacts due to violation of stationary phase approximation;
– Extra summations and computation time;
– Small range of incidence angle than true SWI data;
– Worse spatial resolution than KM;
– Does not require knowledge of the overburden velocity;
V. Future Work
• Pp/Ps reflection interferometric migration• Anisotropy migration
– Try different VTI FD synthetic walkaway VSP data set;– Apply it to a real data set;
• Preprocessing:– Reorientation, separation, filtering, statics correction
• Postprocessing:– Deconvolution
• Potential application– Kirchhoff multi arrival migration– Subsalt imaging– Interferometric tomography
