Title: A PC program for migration of seismic reflection profiles

Journal Article · · Geobyte; (United States)
OSTI ID:5791279

This paper describes a microcomputer program designed to migrate line drawings made from stacked CDP (common depth point) seismic reflection sections. The program uses ray theory and a simple model of the Earth in the form of a velocity function that increases linearly with depth. The source code is written in C language and the program is designed to run on an IBM PC XT, AT, or compatible microcomputer. At the user's option, the program can produce graphic output on the CRT screen and an output file of line-segment end-point coordinates. The output data describe either a migrated or an unmigrated version of the line drawing with two-way travel time (TWTT) converted to kilometers. Another program option allows the user to view the original data with TWTT as the y coordinate. With the appropriate software, screen images can be transferred to a dot matrix printer or other graphics output devices.
