摘要

Sub-basalt seismic imaging is proving to be a major challenge for hydrocarbon exploration efforts along the NE Atlantic margin. Many of the prospective basins along this margin, from Norway to Ireland, are characterized by extensive igneous activity of Early Tertiary age, which has resulted in the intrusive and/or extrusive emplacement within the sedimentary column of basaltic sills, dykes and lava flows (White & McKenzie 1989). These basaltic layers can vary in thickness and stratigraphic position. In most cases the 'geophysical diagnosis' is the same-the presence of a relatively high-velocity basalt layer results in the degradation of the seismic image of pre-Tertiary structure and stratigraphy, when conventional seismic acquisition and processing techniques are employed. Aspects of the subbasalt imaging problem include: high impedance contrasts between sediments and basalt generating strong reflections (which mask weaker events) and strong interbed multiple trains; lack of signal penetration due to attenuation, energy scattering and high levels of refraction; mode conversion with resulting energy losses. Possible methodologies for improving the sub basalt image include: 2D acquisition of long-offset data via OBS or dual-ship profiling (White et al. 1999), 2D recording and identification of converted waves (Li & MacBeth 1997), low frequency 3D acquisition combined with Radon demultiple (Dancer & Pillar 2001). In this paper we describe an approach to Pre-Stack Depth Migration (PSDM) which has been used to improve the subbasalt image on selected 2D seismic lines in one of the Irish Atlantic margin basins.
