Recent advances in marine seismic acquisition, e.g. and full azimuth, are providing data sets in the deep Gulf of Mexico that were uneconomical a decade ago. Seismic processing techniques and technologie developing to keep pace with the advances in acquisition. A recent trend in the Gulf of Mexico is to build and image complex salt areas with tilted transverse velocity models and imaging algorithms capable of handling extreme velocity complexity. This paper summarizes the results from a TTI model building and complex imaging project in the central Green Canyon area. Imaging improvements and velocity field convergence (as demonstrated by well ties) were achieved with the TTI workflow. This case study also shows the benefits from using multiple, fit-for-purpose imaging algorithms through the model building process.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
