Estimation of Imageable Dip Range of Target Structures in Interferometric Salt Flank Imaging with Limited Illumination

When applying seismic interferometry to image sub-vertical salt flanks or structures with large dips from vertical or deviated wells, we are often confronted with poor target illumination. Strong directionalillumination footprints caused by non-ideal placement of sources at the surface degrade the interferometric image quality and may prevent...
