RTM webcast posted

Press "play" below for a "tutorial" on our reverse-time migration (RTM). This video is narrated by WIT's CEO, Morgan Brown, and is excerpted from a talk given by Dr. Brown at the June, 2010 Denver Geophysical Society luncheon. It puts RTM into the context of other prestack depth migration methods, describes the algorithm in a step-by-step fashion, and illustrates RTM with two field data examples (Gulf Coast salt dome and Wyoming anticline).

Second WIT Patent Application published

WIT's second US Patent application, "Estimation of Propagation Angles in Geology with Application to Determination of Propagation Velocity and Angle-Domain Imaging", has been published by the USPTO on May 6, 2010. This patent application protects the innovations behind WIT Angle. Please download the patent application from our website.

New RTM, US Patent Application published

WIT has rolled its new Reverse-Time Migration (RTM) into production. This advanced wave equation imaging algorithm can image "overturned" events and steep faults that one-way WEM algorithms have difficulty imaging. Above: See a comparison of PSTM and our new RTM on the classic Spindletop salt dome.

WIT's 2008 patent application for Migration Velocity Focusing Analysis (MVFA) has been published by the USPTO.
