Houston Texas USA Summary The generalized screen propagator (GSP) is a one-way wave equation based wide-angle propagator. The dual domain implementation of GSP migration provides a fast and accurate 3-D wavefield extrapolation and produces high-resolution and high-fidelity subsalt images. This migration technology was applied to a 3-D GOM deep water dataset and was compared with Kirchhoff PSDM. A wave equation illumination
