A036 Abstract SPARSE 3D DATA KIRCHHOFF REDATUMING S. TEGTMEIER D.J. VERSCHUUR and A. GISOLF Delft University of Technology Lab. of Acoustic Imaging and Sound Control PO Box 5046 2600 GA Delft The Netherlands By including a redatuming step in the seismic processing stream the results of the processing can be improved considerably. Due to an increasing amount of 3D data it becomes more and more important to develop a feasible method for the redatuming of 3D prestack data. Common 3D acquisition designs produce relatively sparse data sets which cannot be redatumed successfully by applying conventional wave-equation redatuming. We present a
