A novel seismic imaging technique which can penetrate difficult geologies such as salt formations could raise the Gulf of Mexico to a whole new level of exploration importance. Sean Ottewell reports. Wave equation migration (WEM) is a technique that takes into account the multiple arrivals of seismic waves in the sub-surface. As such, it overcomes the limitations of standard Kirchhoff pre-stack depth migration (PSDM) which only takes into account the first arrival of seismic waves.
