Description

Migration velocity analyses

 

This module performs 3D time migration of seismic traces before stack with different percentages of the velocity model. The number of PreSTM results calculated with different velocity models gives possibility to build an optimal migration velocity model. The algorithm is a Kirchhoff integral trace migration where each sample is considered the top of coherent events of a diffracted wave followed by stacking the samples. In other words, Kirchhoff migration estimates diffracted amplitudes by correlating the input seismic data using a calculated model of the diffraction as it would appear if the image point consisted of a diffraction event. All dip and diffraction events are migrated into their real location. Diffraction waves are described by RMS velocities. The migration process is run in offset classes (user-defined parameters) and requires regularized input seismic data (that can be produced using the “Regularization” module). Gaps in the offset classes can cause migration operator artifacts.

 

Comments:

Input seismic data must be regularized and without gaps in the offset classes. You can use the “Regularization” module to do this. The input velocities should be smoothed.

 

Input data

SEG-Y data handle

 Link to input seismic dataset

Sorted headers(of seismic data)

 Link to sorted headers of the input seismic traces

Vrms model

 Velocity model used for migration corresponding to 100%

Parameters

Minimum offset CIG

 Minimum offset for the common image gather

Maximum offset CIG

 Maximum offset for the common image gather

Offset increment of CIG

 Offset increment for the common image gather. Parameters Max offset and offset step can be used to        limit the offset range of the input data. Cases where the Offset step of CIGis larger than the Max offset CIG will produce only 1 offset class with the input data range equal to the Offset step of CIG. In        cases where the Offset step of CIGis smaller than the Max offset CIG, the offset of the input data will        be equal to the Max offset CIG plus the Offset step of CIG.

Aperture

 Migration aperture

Use full CMP aperture

Side aperture

 Distance (meters) from the survey edge. Aperture value will be linearly increased (from 0 to maximum)        in this offset range from the edge. Use this parameter to minimized migration operator artifacts along the survey        edge.

Use stretching factor

 Stretch muting for migration operator

Stretching factor

 Factor for managing the mute zone

Replacement velocity

 Replacement velocity used to account for topography. Required parameter

Antialiasing coefficient

 Anti-aliasing filter coefficient. Increasing the coefficient produces astronger filter (low frequency for far        offsets)

Max freq for RHO

 Maximum frequency of the output seismic data

Max Angle Aperture

 Maximum angle aperture of the migration operator

Cmp interval along inline

 Bin size along the inline direction

Cmp interval along crossline

 Bin size along the xline direction

SEG-Y read parameters

 Parameters for optimization disk operations for SSD drives

Decimation factor

 Factor for data decimation with preservation of offset-azimuth distribution
