Method, system and apparatus for interpreting seismic data using duplex waves

A Method for Interpreting Seismic Data Using Duplex Waves is described. Whereas substantially horizontal boundaries are readily identified using conventional processing methods based on primary reflections, it has been difficult or impossible to use such methods for locating substantially vertical events or boundaries. The method of the present invention uses secondary reflections to locate substantially vertical events by gathering common source or receiver traces for processing. Wave fields of these gathers are continued downward to the level of the base boundary, then at each discrete depth level, a seismic image of sub-vertical events is formed. The downward-continued gathers correspond to the travel time of the wave from when it left the source or the receiver point, was reflected from the base boundary, and arrived to the corresponding point of the discrete level of wave-field continuation. In order to increase the noise tolerance of the resulting image of the target sub-vertical event—seismic images, obtained from the common source and receiver gathers, may also be summed together or stacked.
