Summary: Lateral Resolution Migration enhances lateral resolution Large aperture (receiver cable length) is needed for high lateral resolution Fine spatial sampling is needed for high lateral resolution Prestack migration provides better lateral resolution than poststack migration Depth migration provides better resolution than time migration SLIDE 22 In summary for lateral resolution: Migration …… Large aperture …. Fine ….. Prestack …… Depth migration ….. Courtesy of ExxonMobil L 9 – Seismic Resolution
