Abstract

Summary: Reverse time migration (RTM) as a new Seismic Imaging method solve the two-way wave equation and has been implemented through a three main steps including forward and backward wave-field extrapolation from the source and receiver and employing a proper Imaging condition. RTM model all types of wave without any dip limitation. This is very important regarding the drawbacks of ray-based and one-way wave equation imaging methods in properly imaging the Complex geological media. Despite the above superiorities, Low frequency artifacts especially in large reflection angles (60 to 90 degree) are the main drawback of RTM which cover and reduce the migrated image quality. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to improve the Imaging condition as the heart of RTM to suppress the Low frequency artifacts and use the useful information of the large reflection angle domain (60 to 90 degree) and produce a high quality image. This was achieved by presenting a new Imaging condition including a weighted function based on the reflection angles. Finally, the RTM results using the new proposed Imaging condition was presented and compared with the results of some conventional and modern similar methods. Introduction: Seismic Imaging is based on numerical solutions to wave equations, which can be classiﬁ ed into ray-based (integral) solutions and wave ﬁ eld-based (diﬀ erential) solutions. In complex geological structures such as subsalt media, the velocity variation leading to complex multi-pathing reflections. Hence ray-tracing may fail to image the subsurface properly and cannot image steeply dipping reﬂ ectors corresponding to the velocity model. On the other hand, one-way wave propagation extrapolates wave-ﬁ elds vertically and cannot accurately model waves that propagate nearly horizontally. they fail to handle waves propagating at wider angles, especially those near or beyond 90° . RTM directly solves the full (two-way) acoustic wave equation and incorporates all type of waves propagating in different directions. Hence, it has proved to be the preferred imaging algorithm in many geologically complex basins. RTM can image the Complex geological media properly which is beyond the limits of one-way wave equation-based migration algorithms. Nevertheless, RTM has its limitations. The major drawback is the Low frequency artifacts produced by the image condition (zero cross-correlation at lag) or by strong velocity contrast which is the main topic of this paper to be developed to suppress the RTM artifacts. Methodology and Approaches: To suppress the RTM artifacts, the Imaging condition as the heart of RTM was developed. A new presented Imaging condition includes the separated down-going and up-going wave-fields and a new weighted function based on the reflection angles. It implemented to suppress the Low frequency artifacts for large reflection angles and maintain the useful information for the same reflection angle domain through an advance procedure. Results and Conclusions: RTM results using the presented Imaging condition indicates that the Low frequency artifacts was suppressed properly and the subsurface geological structures was imaged as well as possible in final migrated image I comparison the other Seismic Imaging methods.
