Abstract
Although Kirchhoff migration is currently the tool of choice for 3-D seismic prestack depth imaging, full volume imaging using Kirchhoff methods is costly for large surveys or interactive processing. This article describes a beam methodology for Kirchhoff imaging that leads to a theoretical speedup of up to two orders of magnitude over traditional implementations of Kirchhoff migration. Beam methodology has been used routinely in Amerada Hess for generating 3-D full-volume prestack depth images for the last several years.
