Abstract
The pre-stack time migration and velocity analysis methods on common scatter-point (CSP) gathers are based on pre-stack Kirchhoff time migration. The concept of equivalent offset provides a new idea for the research of seismic pre-stack migration and velocity estimation. In this paper, according to the theory of the equivalent offset, we derive the travel-time equation of CSP gathers, introduce the related pre-stack time migration method and discuss velocity analysis methods based on the CSP gathers, and point out the advantages of CSP methods over conventional methods. Processing of a model example and field seismic data show the validity of CSP pre-stack time migration and the velocity analysis methods based on it.
