Abstract
We present results of applying prestack wavepath migration (WM) to 2‐D synthetic and field crosswell data, and the migration images are compared to those from a constrained prestack Kirchhoff migration (KM). In contrast to KM which needs to separate the data into up‐going and down‐going waves prior to migration, WM automatically separate the wavefields during the migration process. Synthetic tests show that WM can effectively locate the fault boundary, and generates good image resolution similar to the KM method. Both the KM and WM images are suitable for interpretation. The results with field data show that the WM images look similar to the KM image, all of which roughly correlate with the P‐wave sonic logs.
