PearlingGeo selects migration technology according to structural complexity, velocity uncertainty, illumination, acquisition geometry and the objective of the final image.
A robust time-domain imaging route for settings where lateral velocity variation is limited enough that depth-domain complexity does not justify PSDM.
Depth imaging for geology where lateral velocity changes, complex overburden or structural relief materially affect image position and focusing.
Wavefield-extrapolation approaches for situations where ray-based assumptions become restrictive and more complete wave propagation treatment can improve the image.
Two-way wave-equation imaging for challenging structures, steep dips and complex propagation environments where conventional methods can struggle.
Iterative image-improvement concepts can be considered when illumination, acquisition footprint or reflectivity recovery justify an inversion-oriented approach.
We would rather explain why a simpler method is sufficient than sell complexity that does not improve the image.
