Description

Normal Moveout Correction

 

This procedure applies normal move out corrections for seismic traces. Seismograms before stacking with non-zero offset, became to seismograms before stacking with zero offset according to Dix formula below. This formula is used by the NMO program:

 ∆t=sqrt(t 0 2+offset 2/V 2 nmo)-t 0

 

There is also an option to take the topography into consideration during the velocity input. In this case the formula will be as following:

 

∆t=(1/2sqrt(t 0 2+offset 2/V 2 nmo)-datum source-datum bin/V 0)+(1/2sqrt(t 0 2+offset 2/V 2 nmo)-datum receiver-datum bin/V 0)
