ABSTRACT:
A method of analyzing seismic survey data in which a transfer function for a geological model is derived by ray tracing techniques applied to theoretical data and the transfer function is applied to actual survey data in order to calculate reflection points (50) and/or other attributes for each shot (42)/receiver (44) pair. The number of ray tracing calculations which have to be performed in deriving the model transfer function can thus be controlled. A sufficiently accurate transfer function can be derived using theoretical data representing substantially fewer shot (42)/receiver (44) pairs than are used in the traditional ray tracing solution applied directly to actual survey data. Attribute values for actual source (42)/receiver (44) pairs are estimated by interpolating the transfer function data.
