Abstract

In this paper we present an overview of various multidimensional seismic analysis techniques used in exploration geophysics. The purpose of these techniques is to infer, within a multidimensional framework, the complex subsurface configurations and lithologie patterns from recorded seismic data. We pay particular attention to the multidimensional direct inversion techniques, that is, wave equation migration and wave equation inversion. We discuss the underlying principles and assumptions of these procedures as well as some recent developments. In addition, we present a real data set which has been processed by both a wave equation migration technique as well as an approximate wave equation inversion procedure.
