Abstract
The past couple of years have seen a tremendous increase in the acquisition of wide<br>azimuth (WAZ) surveys that provide improved subsalt imaging. These surveys can<br>acquire data three times faster than conventional narrow azimuth (NAZ) surveys and at<br>the same time increase the fold of the data by a factor of five. Therefore we are looking at<br>processing fifteen times more data while the need for fast delivery of imaged data is<br>accelerating due to lease expiry, lease sales, drilling decisions and other financial<br>conditions.
