Abstract

The article is devoted to solving an important practical problem - determining the structure of the subsurface space of the geological environment based on surface seismic data. Thanks to the registration of seismic waves reflected from the boundaries of geological layers, it is possible to delineate hydrocarbon deposits, which makes it possible to effectively plan a field development scheme. Optimizing the production process makes it possible to make it profitable, including when developing unconventional hydrocarbon deposits. The paper discusses the technology of constructing a migration image using the reverse time migration method. In the general case, an analytical derivation of the calculation formulas was carried out. For the practically significant case of an acoustic environment, simplified calculation formulas are explicitly written out and implemented in the form of a software algorithm. The issue of improving the quality of the migration image without significantly increasing the computational complexity of the problem is discussed separately. The authors demonstrated the performance of this approach using the widely used Marmousi geological model.
