VSP reverse-time migration (in Chinese)
VSP reverse-time migration is a well adaptable wave equation migration method. Its control equation not only describes all-direction propagation of seismic wave but also removes interbed multiples. Clearbout's image principle is generalized to determine image conditions, real VSP data are used to determine boundary condition, and two way reflection-free wave equation is solved by making reverse-time extrapolation. In each step of extrapolation, the migration value at relevant image point is obtained by using the image condition. The complete migration of a seismic section is achieved when reverse-time extrapolation reaches the minimum image time. In this paper it is proved theoretically and practically that this method is applicable to any velocity variation and makes the migrated section have both good resolution and high S/N ratio. Besides, this method results in high processing efficiency.
