The method processes, for each of a plurality of shots at respective source locations, seismic traces recorded at a plurality of receiver locations. Common-mid-point-modulated data are also computed by multiplying the seismic data in each seismic trace by a horizontal mid-point. A depth migration process is applied to the seismic data to obtain a first set of migrated data, and to the mid-point-modulated data to obtain a second set of migrated data. For each shot, aperture values are estimated and associated with respective subsurface positions. A migrated value for a depth and an aperture in a surface aperture common image gather at a horizontal position is a migrated value of the first set of migrated data for a shot such that the estimated aperture value associated with that subsurface position is the aperture.

Method and system of processing seismic data by providing surface aperture common image gathers

The method processes input including, for each of a plurality of shots at respective source locations, seismic traces recorded at a plurality of receiver locations. Offset-modulated data are also computed by multiplying the seismic data in each seismic trace by a horizontal offset between the source and receiver locations for said seismic trace. A depth migration process is applied to the seismic data to obtain a first set of migrated data, and to the offset-modulated data to obtain a second set of migrated data. For each shot, offset values are estimated and associated with respective subsurface positions, by a division process applied to the first and second sets of migrated data.
