摘要:
The sources of microseismic hydraulic fracture events (“hydro-fracs”) are located for image mapping by the calculation of Green's functions G(x,z,t|x′,z′,0) which is estimated using, e.g., RVSP, VSP, SWD and/or surface data, with the Green's functions used as migration kernels with greater accuracy than the prior art techniques, e.g. the diffraction limit, because all of the natural arrivals in the data are utilized.

摘要:
A method for improving seismic images by correction of distortions in the underlying seismic data caused by a near-surface anomaly that produces a non-hyperbolic move-out component of the seismic reflection below the anomaly includes the steps of: a. redatuming the input seismic data to go from the surface to a target horizon using true one-way traveltime operators to provide a first new redatuming dataset; b. redatuming the input seismic data using hyperbolic one-way travel time operators to provide a second new redatuming dataset; and c. redatuming the combination of a first causal part of the first new redatuming dataset and an anti-causal second part of the second redatuming dataset to go from the target horizon back to the surface using hyperbolic one-way traveltime operators to provide a dataset that is referenced to the surface without an imprint of the anomaly.
