Feature Article in The Leading Edge

WIT authors have published an invited paper on land PSDM and RTM in the November, 2010 The Leading Edge, the SEG's flagship publication. In the words of the editors, "As you'll see, RTM has moved beyond the realm of the easy synthetic...What's more, you'll see that RTM is moving beyond the Gulf of Mexico and invading turf usually left for more mundane imaging methods such as time migration...Higginbotham et al. demonstrate that advanced PSDM workflows are not only applicable, but probably indispensible, for successful prospecting in many onshore basins...Their field data examples show that PSDM can significantly improve the resolution of faults and steep dips, even when the lateral velocity variation is not radical."
