Wave-equation imaging Paul Sava Stanford University
My background Education 1995: Eng - Geophysics (U of B) 1998: MSc - Geophysics (SEP) 2003: PhD - Geophysics (SEP) Experience Institute of Geology and Geophysics ( ) Schlumberger GeoQuest ( ) BP (2002)
My interests “Wave-equation” imaging –Migration velocity analysis (MVA) angle-gathers residual migration wave-equation MVA –Amplitude variation with angle (AVA) angle-gathers amplitude-preserving migration
“Wave-equation” imaging more accurate physical model paraxial wave-equation vs. eikonal equation –band-limited –multi-pathing angle-domain CIGs –MVA –AVA
Presentations Angle-domain common image gathers (10’) Amplitude-preserving migration (25’) Prestack residual migration (15’) Wave-equation MVA (40’)
