2-D Kirchhoff Prestack Time Migration of Seismic Synthetic Records by MATLAB

In this paper, a MATLAB software is presented that synthesizes 2-D shot records with up to four flat reflectors with different velocities and then migrate them using kirchhoff prestack time migration method. Migration algorithm needs two matrices as inputs which they are shot records and the velocity model. Shot records are either synthesized from the data entered in the graphic interface or received as an input file. Prestack Kirchhoff time migration is applied via software written with MATLAB. A GUI (Graphical User Interface) was designed to work with codes for convenience of operator. Same model was migrated with the industrial software. Results were compared and proved good agreement between them.
