Anisotropic Pre-Stack Depth Migration processing in the Permian Basin, Texas

The Wolfcamp reservoir of the Permian Basin has recently generated interest for its potentially vast oil and gas reserves. Imaging this reservoir using seismic data is challenging despite the uncomplicated geology at reservoir depth, because the near-surface in this region is complex. In this work, we apply a modern depth processing flow to data from the Permian Basin and analyze its impact on the resolution of near-surface anomalies and on imaging at the reservoir.
