Effects of Binning Velocity Ratios on C-Wave Imaging in the Presence of Dips

D-09 EFFECTS OF BINNING VELOCITY RATIOS ON C-WAVE IMAGING IN THE PRESENCE OF DIPS Abstract xc γ x = 1 + γ asy asy ; 1 FABIO MANCINI 2 1 XIANG-YANG LI 1 ANTON ZIOLKOWSKI 2 and TIM POINTER 3 C-wave processing usually requires iterations involving velocity analysis and binning. As a first step the data are binned using a single value of γ (Vp/Vs) before any P-wave independent velocity analysis therefore sorting the data into Asymptotic Common Conversion Points. We analyse the effects of this initial binning value of γ on C-wave imaging in areas of dipping reflectors. The
