N2 - I present an application of Q-compensated reverse-time migration to the crosswell seismic field data from west Texas. A key feature of Q-RTM algorithm is the restoration of the high frequencies (in amplitude and phase) in the wavefield, thus resulting in an improved stack of source gathers. I found that the Q-compensated reverse-time migration imaging is able to provide an improved reflection image with many high-resolution details about geological layers and structures. For instance, the lateral and vertical extent and the internal features of the reservoir pay zone can be clearly determined in the Q-RTM image.
