Abstract
This work aims to analyze the capacity of the<br>conventional Reverse Time Migration related to structures<br>imaging in complex geological models such as below salt<br>bodies, which is one of the greatest challenges in the<br>petroleum exploration. The velocity model used was a<br>slice of the 3D SEG/EAGE salt dome, known as Salt-BB.<br>Acoustic modeling was used to generate 2D seismic data.<br>In order to enrich the study, this acoustic modeling was<br>performed with the variation of two very important seismic<br>data acquisition parameters: shot point interval and<br>receiver interval. A technique for removing artifacts from<br>migrated data, known as selective mute, was<br>implemented to improve the outcome of the stacked<br>section.
