ABSTRACT:
The stacking velocity required for common midpoint stacking in three-dimensional seismic exploration is determined by determining the stacking velocity in three directions for a common midpoint. The magnitude of the thus determined stacking velocities in any three directions defines an ellipse centered at the common midpoint. The equation of the thus defined ellipse determines the stacking velocity in any direction about the common midpoint.
