Application of 3D CRS Stacking to Enhance Imaging of Sparse 3D Datasets

A03 APPLICATION OF 3D CRS STACKING TO ENHANCE IMAGING OF SPARSE 3D DATASETS Introduction In time domain seismic imaging the NMO/DMO stacking technique has been dominant for many decades. However the simple subsurface model of the NMO stack the loss in resolution by the DMO process and the dependence on a user-derived velocity model has motivated the search for alternative time domain imaging methods. 1 H.
