The main objective of imaging diffracted arrivals is to produce high resolution seismic
sections in time or depth, which in turn will enhance the interpretation of fault edges,
pinchouts, reef edges, fracture zones and other geologic discontinuities. In naturally
fractured reservoirs a detailed understanding and mapping of the subsurface fracture
network is often necessary to optimize field development plans. There is a variety of seismic
driven technologies that attempt to map and detect fracture zones. For example, by …
