Conclusions

In this paper, we generalized to dipping reflectors the fundamental concepts for quantitatively relating perturbations in anisotropic parameters to the corresponding reflector movements in ADCIGs.

We applied that general methodology to the particular case of RMO analysis of reflections from dipping reflectors in a VTI medium. Our synthetic examples demonstrate the accuracy of the RMO curves predicted by our kinematic analysis and the inaccuracy of the RMO curves predicted when assuming that the reflectors are flat. It proves the usefulness of our generalization we presented in this paper. It should enable accurate migration velocity analysis procedures in complex areas where anisotropic wavefield continuation migration is required.
