Abstract
We developed a method of moveout correction in the τ-p<mml:math><mml:mrow><mml:mi>τ</mml:mi><mml:mtext>-</mml:mtext><mml:mi>p</mml:mi></mml:mrow></mml:math> domain to tackle some of the problems associated with processing wide-angle seismic reflection data, including residual moveout and normal-moveout stretching. We evaluated the concept of the shifted ellipse in the τ-p<mml:math><mml:mrow><mml:mi>τ</mml:mi><mml:mtext>-</mml:mtext><mml:mi>p</mml:mi></mml:mrow></mml:math> domain as an alternative to the well-known concept of the shifted hyperbola in the t-x<mml:math><mml:mrow><mml:mi>t</mml:mi><mml:mtext>-</mml:mtext><mml:mi>x</mml:mi></mml:mrow></mml:math> domain. We used this shifted-ellipse concept to address the problem of residual moveout caused by vertical heterogeneity in the subsurface. We also addressed the stretching problem associated with dynamic corrections by combining selected strips from a set of constant-moveout stacks generated using a shifted-ellipse equation. Application of this method to a wide-angle data set from the Faeroe-Shetland Basin provided an enhanced image of the subbasalt structure.
