f The Use of Multi-Scattered Energy in Imaging and Velocity Model Building

Multiples and multi-scattered seismic recorded energy are often ignored or suppressed in imaging and inversion applications. This happens because they tend to appear weak in our recorded data and they also violate the linearity clause, complicating their treatment. On the other hand, they carry valuable information that allows for better illumination of the Earth and better velocity model building. We will share those features through our generalized internal multiple imaging strategy, as well as incorporating multi scattered energy in Full waveform inversion. The results demonstrate the ability of multi-scattered energy to better image the subsurface, as well as yield a better velocity models.
