Description
Describing exploration problems in complex overthrust environments and then developing practical solutions in terms of migration methods and applications, this book conveys heuristic descriptions of mathematical algorithms and provides case history applications from overthrust belts. Examples derived from model and real data sets are provided.
This book evolved from a project of the Canadian Society of Exploration Geophysicists Superfund, a fund designed to support exploration geophysics research at Canadian universities. The project's purpose was to study the seismic depth imaging of complex geologic structures in the Canadian Foothills. This book is intended for seismic processors, interpreters, and researchers. It begins with a description of exploration problems in complex overthrust environments and then develops practical solutions in terms of migration methods and applications. The book conveys heuristic descriptions of mathematical algorithms and provides case-history applications from overthrust belts. In addition to conventional poststack and prestack depth-migration approaches, the book examines migration from topography and anisotropic migration methods while providing examples derived from model and real data sets. Because of the increasing interest in Foothills oil and gas exploration, the book should provide valuable information for practitioner and theoretician alike.
