Kirchhoff PreSTM - gather in/out - migration

Top  Previous  Next

 

Description

 

The module computes 2D/3D time migration of seismic traces after stacking. Algorithm is Kirchhoff’s integral trace migration where each sample considered as top of coherent events of diffraction wave followed by stacking samples. In another words Kirchhoff migration estimates diffracting amplitudes by correlating the input seismic data with an calculated model of the diffraction that would appear if the image point consist of diffraction event. All dip and diffraction events migrated into their real location. Diffraction waves described by RMS velocities. This module reads input seismic data from RAM.

Input seismic data are stack, CMP gathers.

Output data is stack.

Execution options - only standalone (1 computer execution).

 

Input data

Input data

 Link to input seismic traces.

Vrms model

 Link to input velocity traces.

Output geometry

 Link to virtual trace headers which has geometry information for output seismic traces        migrated.

 By default the module defines output geometry from “Sorted headers of input data”.

Dimension

 Choose the dimension from available options i.e. 2D/3D

Parameters

Aperture

 Migration aperture.

Aperture type

 Choose the aperture type from the drop down menu.

 Constant & Time variant

Side aperture

 Distance (meters) from survey edge.

 Aperture value will be linear increased (from 0 to maximum) in this distance range        from edge.

 Use this parameter for minimized migration operator artefacts on survey edge.

Use stretching factor

 Stretching muting for migration operator.

Stretching factor

 Factor for managing of mute zone.

Replacement velocity

 Replacement velocity used for take into account topography.

 Necessary parameter.

Velocity factor

 Velocity multiplier.

Anti-aliasing coefficient

 Antialiasing filter’s coefficient.

 Coefficient increasing produce stronger filter (low frequency for far offsets).

Max frequency

 Maximum frequency of output seismic data.

Max angle aperture

 Maximum angle aperture of migration operator.

Cmp interval along inline

 Bin size along inline. Meters.

Cmp interval along crossline

 Bin size along xline. Meters.

Boost-factor

 Define the value to increase the performance run time so that it will take less time to finish the migration        without compromising the quality of the final output stack.
