Imaging of Orebodies with a Polarization Stack Migration

M014 IMAGING OF OREBODIES WITH A POLARIZATION STACK MIGRATION E. DUVENECK 1 CF.MÜLLER 2 and T. BOHLEN 3 1 Geophysical Institute University of Karlsruhe Hertzstr. 16 76187 Karlsruhe Germany 2 Geological Survey of Canada 3 Kiel University Summary A migration method is presented that makes use of polarization information present in multicomponent data to image deep ore bodies in 3D from VSP data acquired with a limited number of shotpoints. The method solves the problems of spatial ambiguity and of the complexity of the scattered wavefield including strong amplitude variations and interference of different scattering modes. It is tested on
