A study is initiated comparing the responses of elastic and acoustic wavefield propagation in subsalt simulations. The intent of this study is to examine the pitfalls of using acoustic methods for modeling and imaging subsalt environments. A comparison is included which demonstrates the difference in energy distribution and amplitude response between elastic and acoustic simulations for a single shot over a complex salt structure.
