Abstract
Exploration in more geologically complex areas requires new methodologies. In its quest to answer these new challenges, the oil and gas industry has moved from ray-based imaging to finite-difference, wave-equation migration to achieve better subsurface descriptions of target zone and reservoirs. Notable in this progression is the movement from ray-traced Kirchhoff algorithms through one-way wave-equation methods to use the acoustic two-way wave equation.
