Shallow-water environments are notoriously challenging for conventional processing workflows due to the presence of strong, short-period multiples that obscure primary signal.
Limitations in common multiple-prediction schemes often result in derived models that require windowed adaptive subtraction techniques to improve the match with the observed data. This has the potential to compromise the fidelity of primary amplitudes. This problem is compounded with towed-streamer type acquisitions due to the lack of recorded near offset reflections which are required for such schemes.
DUG MP-FWI Imaging, on the other hand, uses primaries, multiples, and ghosts as valuable signal! No complex, shallow-water demultiple workflows are required since the multiples are correctly mapped back to the reflectors that generated them, and are used to improve the image quality as a whole.
DUG MP-FWI Imaging supersedes the traditional workflow in terms of quality of result and project turnaround-time.
“MP-FWI applied to vintage offshore seismic surveys has produced a level of imaging quality that may now allow for the revisiting of development opportunities and prospecting in previously untested stratigraphy beyond 10,000 ft.”
