Huygens’ high definition PSTM technique promises improved resolution of seismic data

Bill Kamps,* Tsunami Development, describes new work which allows interpreters to achieve better resolution images from migration of standard seismic datasets. Interpreters of seismic datasets are always looking for greater resolution and higher frequencies. It often happens that they zoom into the data further than the dataset can accommodate. When they do this, they wind up looking at either a fragment of a seismic wavelet, or some very coarse, pixilated view of the geology. It seems interpreters want as much resolution as the dataset will allow. We now have the ability to provide greater resolution, higher frequency images from the same input datasets. This will provide far more information to interpreters and geologists particularly in those areas of interest where productive wells may be drilled. Using patented technology developed by N.S. Neidell & Associates, we can increase the frequency content and the resolution of the migrated seismic dataset dramatically.
