oa Seismic Raytracing As An Aid To Seismic Interpretation

Often times, seismic profiles run oblique to structures, causing sideswipe<br>and confusing reflector patterns. Seismic Raytracing can be very helpful in<br>distinguishing structures that are profiled at an oblique angle. The<br>procedure would be to create an interpretive model, raytrace it, create a<br>synthetic seismogram from the raytracing data, and compare it to the actual<br>seismic data to see if the model is indeed representative of the actual<br>structure.
