Abstract

Summary

Reverse Time Migration of Multiples (RTMM) was adapted for OBN data. Using synthetic and field data examples from deep water Gulf of Mexico, we demonstrate the benefits of OBN RTMM, which include image extension, better top of salt imaging, and better illumination of subsalt areas.
