Abstract
Summary
Until today, seismic imaging is applied to primary reflections. This means that prior to imaging, the multiples need be removed from the measurements (‘data linearization’). However, multiples contain valuable information that should not be removed but should be utilized. The message of this presentation is that we should not adapt the measured data to our imaging algorithms but we should adapt our imaging algorithms to the measured data. By doing this, we may expect significantly better images, particularly for deep reservoirs.
