Reducing time to interpretation decisions with RTM

In this paper, we show some history as to why mixed migration algorithms have been used in<br>the model building portion of the imaging sequence. We go on to show that by using a single<br>algorithm in both the model building and final imaging phases of a project, the cycle time can<br>be collapsed. In this paper, a two way wave equation algorithm (RTM) is proposed as a tool<br>to help significantly reduce total project turnaround.
