Abstract

Summary

We apply diffraction imaging to a 3D data set in the southern Malay Basin, where it has a wide range of applicability to both structural and stratigraphic targets. In the Tertiary section, diffraction imaging helps to resolve small scale faulting, including en echelon faulting. It assists the overall structural interpretation in both high and low reflectivity formations. Isolated channels as well as channel complexes can be identified using diffraction imaging. In addition, it provides superior illumination and definition of basement fractures.
