Improving Geological Modeling and Interpretation by Simulated Migrated Seismics

F-34 IMPROVING GEOLOGICAL MODELING AND INTERPRETATION BY SIMULATED MIGRATED SEISMICS GERRIT TOXOPEUS 1 STEEN PETERSEN 2 and KEES WAPENAAR 1 1 1 Delft University of Technology Department of Applied Earth Sciences Abstract 2 NorskHydro Research Center Bergen Norway Using a combined Forward and Inverse operator (resolution function) a fast method is presented to construct a simulated migrated seismic section from a geological depth model. Unlike the 1D convolution model the resolution function expresses both vertical and horizontal resolution. This gives an interpreter a powerful tool to create simulated migrated seismics which includes migration effects. Further due to its low computational
