RTM provides superior imaging for complex structural plays. By using a full two-way solution to the wave equation it is able to construct images using all possible arrivals, and to handle extreme lateral velocity variations without imposing any dip limitations. RTM is therefore able to make use of energy that would otherwise be discarded or seen as noise by other imaging methods, such as the prism waves utilised by our Dual Flood RTMtechnique.
The power of RTM is now available throughout the modelling phase to perform iterative imaging and scenario testing, providing better velocity models and clearer images.
RTM forms the cornerstone of a comprehensive imaging toolbox developed by CGGVeritas. Highlights include:
This section through the Tupi discovery, offshore Brazil, demonstrates the clarity of imaging, even of geologically challenging areas, achievable using the latest technologies from CGGVeritas.
