Blessing Texas Migrations and Gathers

Blessing Texas Kirchhoff PSTM

CDP 1410 at LIN 1410 together with PSTM of Crossline 1410. Gather on left show strong amplitude at top of Frio. Note lack of strong dipping events to the right of the base fault. Remember, the input were automatically gained so lack

  • f AVO is not surprising..

Blessing Texas Kirchhoff PSDM

CDP 1410 at Line 1410 together with Kirchhoff PSDM of Crossline 1410. Smeared look of CDP gather is a display artifact caused by a large offset

Blessing Texas Beam PSDM

CDP 1410 at Crossline 1410 together with Beam Stack Kirchhoff PSDM of Crossline 1410. Smeared look of CDP gather is a display artifact caused by a large offset increment. Dipping events appeared to be somewhat suppressed.

Blessing Texas Summary

Summary and Conclusions

Best fault resolution

Somewhat dependent on scaling Depends on objective RTM has highest fault resolution RTM seems to provide best resolution overall

Multiples remain in final images

Peg legs and not free surface Difficult to remove with destroying primaries

Velocity analysis straightforward Little evidence of anisotropy

Interpretation done on depth-to-time sections
