Abstract: A method is described for seismic inversion including receiving a processed seismic image and an enhanced seismic image representative of a subsurface volume of interest; forward modeling the processed seismic image and the enhanced seismic image to generate a first modeled dataset and a second modeled dataset; differencing the first modeled dataset and the second modeled dataset to create a residual dataset; filtering the first modeled dataset to generate an approximation of illumination; preconditioning the residual dataset with the approximation of illumination to generate an adjoint source; back projecting the adjoint source to determine a model update; and applying the model update to an earth model of the subsurface volume of interest.

Abstract: A method is described for seismic imaging of the subsurface using dip-guided optimized stacking. The method computes weighting functions for a plurality of single-shot migrated images, unstacked seismic images, or partially stacked seismic images based on a slant stack performed using an input dip dataset; applying the plurality of weighting functions to the plurality of single-shot migrated images, unstacked seismic images, or partially stacked seismic images, or a plurality of dip-filtered images to create a plurality of weighted images; and summing the plurality of weighted images into a stacked seismic image. The method may be executed by a computer system.

Abstract: A method is described for seismic imaging including receiving a pre-stack seismic dataset and an earth model at one or more computer processors; performing least-squares reverse time migration of the pre-stack seismic dataset using the earth model to create a digital seismic image, wherein the least-squares reverse time migration includes wave-equation forward modeling based on an asymptotic expression for reflection in a subsurface Kirchhoff integral; and generating a display of the digital seismic image on a graphical user interface.
