Forecast of Crack and Cavernous Reservoirs in Carbonate, Clay and Magmatic Rocks Based on Scattered Seismic Waves

Results of geological media exploration using scattered waves extracted from multichannel seismic data are presented. The researches are based on original prestack migration method – Wave CDP method, which possesses possibility to construct two independent time sections: conventional image of reflectors and new image of space distribution of acoustic inhomogeneities - diffractors. The last are join with fracture zones – strong sources of scattered waves. Method was testes in areas with carbonate, volcanic and clay rocks.
