Full-Wave Attributes for Multicomponent Data Interpretation

P10 FULL-WAVE ATTRIBUTES FOR MULTICOMPONENT DATA INTERPRETATION Abstract 1 Seismic attributes that provide useful interpretation information have been primarily based on PP reflections thus far. Along with the development of multicomponent technology seismic attributes may be extended to include converted PS reflections. In this paper we describe the concept of fullwave attributes that use not only PP reflections but converted-wave (PS-wave) seismic data and joint PP/PS information also. Several meaningful physical definitions of full-wave attributes are provided. Real full-wave attribute results using PS and PP/PS joint inversion in the Gulf of Mexico are presented. By comparing with known production data
