| description | Seismic modeling aids the geophysicists to have a better understanding of the subsurface image before the seismic acquisition, processing, and interpretation. In this regard, seismic survey modeling is employed to make a model close to the real structure and to obtain very realistic synthetic seismic data. The objective of this study is to analyze the resolution and illumination of the fault by designing appropriate 3D seismic survey parameters. The ray-based seismic modeling was built using 2D seismic data, geological reports, and the well logs in one of the oil fields in the southwest of Iran. A pre-stack depth migration simulator was used to evaluate the survey geometry on the resulting seismic image. The results proved that a survey designer could improve the image of the target in a seismic section by applying the ray-based analyses, with respect to illumination and resolution studies. |
