Ray tracing in the smoothed acoustic SEG/EAGE Salt Model. Part 2: Maps of reflections

Vaclav Bucha

Summary

Two-point rays of the P-wave reflected from the flat bottom interface in the smoothed acoustic SEG/EAGE Salt Model are calculated. The shot-receiver configurations are derived from the original SEG/EAGE Phase A Acquisition. Reflection points are used for generating reflection maps, colour coded according to amplitudes. The illumination of the large shadow area below the trunk of the salt body is discussed.

Keywords

Velocity model, ray tracing, seismic waves, maps of reflections.
