Title: Apparatus and method for reconstructing complex salt geometry using dual-flood RTM with prismatic waves
Inventor: LI YUNFENG
IPC: G01V1/28
Filed: 2013-09-05
Abstract: A method, an apparatus and a computer-readable medium for processing seismic data are provided. The method includes selecting well-imaged areas of a 5 sediment-to-salt interface, and performing (1) a dual-flood RTM with prismatic waves to identify new areas of the sediment-to-salt interface, and (2) one or more RTM to identify other new areas of the sediment-to-salt interface or of a salt-to-sediment interface.
