Target-oriented wavefield tomography: A field data example
Yaxun Tang and Biondo Biondi
Abstract:
We present a strategy for efficient migration velocity analysis in complex geological settings. The proposed strategy contains two main steps:
simulating a new data set using an initial unfocused image and performing
wavefield-based tomography using this data. We show that the new data set can be synthesized for a specific target region where velocities
are inaccurate. We also show that the new data set can be much smaller than the original one due to the
target-oriented modeling strategy, but it contains necessary velocity information for successful velocity analysis. These interesting features
make this new data set suitable for target-oriented, fast and interactive velocity modeling building.
We demonstrate the performance of our method on a selected 2-D line of a 3-D data set acquired from
the Gulf of Mexico, where we update the subsalt velocity in a target-oriented fashion and obtain
a subsalt image with improved continuities and signal to noise ratio.
