High-Resolution Anisotropic Prestack Kirchhoff Dynamic Focused Beam Migration

Kirchhoff beam migration is a kind of ray-based seismic imaging method boasting the advantages of both high efficiency and high accuracy. In this paper, anisotropic ray tracing will be applied to extend it to an anisotropic seismic imaging method. However, two problems exist in this method for imaging calculation: Firstly, the conventional local plane wave decomposition method has a low computational precision; secondly, the original beam propagator diverges quickly when the propagation distance increases. These two problems can both increase imaging noise, and finally reduce the resolution of the final imaging results. In this paper, the high-resolution anisotropic Kirchhoff dynamic focused beam migration is proposed to solve these two problems. Local plane wave decomposition method considered from the perspective of inversion is employed to obtain higher-quality slant stack data and dynamic focused beam propagator is adopted to control the divergence of beams. Both the anisotropic layer model and Hess model are adopted to test the imaging ability of the new method.
