Wide-angle migration

Wide-angle migration is a seismic imaging technique used in geophysics to create detailed images of underground structures. It considers wide angles of seismic waves, rather than just the straight-down reflections, capturing more complex wave paths. This improves the accuracy of locating features like oil reservoirs or fault lines. By analyzing waves that bounce at various angles, geologists can better interpret the subsurface geology, especially in challenging areas with intricate formations. In essence, wide-angle migration enhances the clarity and precision of underground maps, aiding in resource exploration and understanding geological processes.
