Description
Summary:Imaging prospective structures lying beneath thick basalt flows presents a key technical challenge in the Faroe-Shetland region. The FLARE-2 profile, recorded in 1996 southeast of the Faroe Islands by the Amerada Hess Ltd. Partner group, was used to test a new approach toward better resolution of sub-basalt structures. In this study, we demonstrate that appropriate re-scaling of seismic data in the parabolic tau-p domain has the potential to enhance significantly intra- and sub-basalt reflections. Processing the entire FLARE-2 data set twice, once using conventional time processing and a second time including the new tau-p strategy, illustrates the benefits of the proposed scheme.
