Abstract
An approach to seismic imaging of fractures by multicomponent surface data is presented and discussed. It is based on a specific imaging procedure, which consists in a weighted summation of multicomponent multishot/multioffset data. These weights are computed by tracing a specially chosen Gaussian beams. In order to get image of fractures these beams are taken in a way forming so called selective images (Pozdnyakov and Tcheverda, 2006; Protasov and Tcheverda, 2011). Their geometry provides suppression of regularly reflected waves and, thus, emphasizes the presence of small-scale heterogeneities that give rise to diffracted/scattered waves. Additionally spectral removal is applied for more essential suppression of regular reflections footprint.
Numerical experiments with synthetic data set computed for the typical seismogeological model of Yurubcheno-Tokhomskoye area are presented and discussed.
