Abstract

A variable large-step prestack depth extrapolation migration method is presented. In the extrapolation process adopting a large depth step can keep efficiency but at a cost of low accuracy. However, if the depth step is allowed to vary we can use a relative small depth step for accuracy where required and large depth step where possible to retain efficiency. The intermediate depth samples are obtained by applying phase-shift operator and interpolations. The Fourier finite-difference (FFD) operator is employed as the depth extrapolation operator. The variable large step method is also suitable to other extrapolation operators such as the split-step Fourier (SSF) operator and the phase-shift plus interpolation (PSPI) operator. To make this approach more efficient and economical, the method is applied to the synthesized areal shot-record migration. Two numerical examples have been used to assess the feasibility of this approach.
