The presence of gas, both as shallow pockets and as commercial reservoirs, has long been recognized as a significant problem in imaging seismic data. In this paper we describe how we successfully applied Q tomography and Q-PSDM technology to compensate the phase, frequency and amplitude loss due to shallow absorption, thus improving structure imaging and potentially accurate AVO/DHI analysis underneath shallow gas.
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.
