binning

the process of resorting shot gathers into CMP gathers

another name for normal moveout velocity

stacking velocity

What does dix's equation do

use two stacking velocities to estimate the interval velocity in the material between the two reflections

RMS velocity is for

velocity through multiple layers

as VRMS is approximate...

output velocites are called stacking velocity

If you allocate the correct velocity to a reflection event you can

flatten its curvature across the offset range

(NMO)

constant velocity panel

 

CMP Gather is NMO corrected with different stacking velocities

problem with using constant velocity panels

need to do it individually for each CMP gather, time consuming

semblance

used for?

a measure of coherency

coherency of a hyperbolae to the wavelets in a shot gather

semblance analysis is used to

match the best stacking velocity to describe the curvature of a reflection

contoured semblance diagram

.

dixs equation states

difference in velocity*time/difference in time

relationships between

VST

VRMS

VIS

VINT

 

V ST approximates V RMS, and V IS approximates V INT

Where V ST is used to approximate interval velocity, we use...

VIS

interval stacking velocity

fold of cover?

The number of traces that are present in a CMP gather

The number of traces that are present in a CMP gather is termed

fold of cover

gernerally, the greater the fold of cover...

the greater the noise supression

how much does FOC boost the SNR?

FOC1/2

Field of cover, signal to noise

long path multiple image

.

stacking velocities of multiples compared to deeper events

velocities increase with depth, so multiplesexpress a slower stacking velocity.

if there are multiple peaks in a semblance panel which is which

the slower semblance peak corresponds to the multiple

why would you get two peaks on a semblance plot

where there are obvious multiples in the CMP gather

how does NMO remove multiples?

they stay curved after NMO, so stacking cancels them out

how does NMO affect quality of data?

Application of NMO corrections introduces NMO stretch

NMO corrections necessitate

NMO stretch mute

when are NMO stretch mutes applied

mutes applied where extention >30%

static correction

/

static time shift

corrects for varitations in reciever elevations; shifts all traces to some datum

residual statics

tweaks stacked traces to heal gaps in reflectors that are considered coherant

how does iterative analysis work

initial velocity analysis

initial residual statics

velocity analysis

residual statics

etc.

floating datum statics

(as opposed to)

static corrections in a CMP gather

(final datum)

floating datum

(image)

.

VINT

internal velocity
