Least‐squares inversion of seismic reflection waveform data can reconstruct remarkably
detailed models of subsurface structure and take into account essentially any physics of …

In the past decade, 3D reflection seismology has replaced 2D seismology almost entirely in
the seismic industry. Recording 3D surveys has become the norm instead of the exception …

This book describes the theory and practice of inverting seismic data for the subsurface rock
properties of the earth. The primary application is for inverting reflection and/or transmission …

Imaging complex structures inside the earth requires reasonable velocities that can be
provided by applying prestack depth migration to multichannel seismic data. Migration …

We present a new method based on migration velocity analysis (MVA) to estimate 2-D
velocity models from seismic reflection data with no assumption on reflector geometry or the …

The author proposes an operator-driven prestack migration scheme that is based on the
synthesis of common focus-point (CFP) gathers. Each CFP gather represents the response …

The quality of the migration/inversion in seismic reflection is directly related to the quality of
the velocity macro model. We present here an extension of the differential semblance …

Wave‐equation migration velocity analysis is a technique designed to extract and update
velocity information from migrated images. The velocity model is updated through the …

Optimization-based migration velocity analysis updates long-wavelength velocity
information by minimizing an objective function that measures the violation of a focusing …

I have been told on many occasions that I should not include the old technology of DMO,
especially when there are many efficient prestack migrations. In a similar thread of thought, I …
