Wavefield distortion, attenuation and the generation of complex multiple diffraction noise cause the quality of the underlying seismic image to be highly variable. (Figure 1) In this paper we describe the problem and then demonstrate how multi‐azimuth seismic is able to improve the Pre‐ Messinian image.Permalink: https://doi.org/10.1190/1.2370126FiguresReferencesRelatedDetailsCited ByA MAZ case study from the Jequitinhonha basin, Brazil: combining legacy conventional with dual-sensor towed-streamer dataJon Burren, Lynn Comeaux, Guilherme Jangelme, and Rafael Melo9 January 2014A MAZ case study from the Jequitinhonha basin, Brazil; Benefits of advanced methods to imaging resultsLynn Comeaux, Matheus Pila, and Ernesto Lemos9 January 2014A method of acquiring full azimuth data for carbonate reservoirs exploration in Tarim basin, western ChinaYimou Liu, Xianghao Liang, Yi Zhou, Yanfeng Wang, and Xueqiang Chen25 October 2012Full-azimuth towed-streamer seismic: An exploration tool for pre-salt hydrocarbon exploration offshore BrazilAlex Cooke, Franck Le Diagon, Ricardo De Marco, Daniela Amazonas, Timothy Bunting, Nick Moldoveanu, Stephen Klug, and Elaine Mattos25 October 2012References29 April 2013High-resolution multiazimuth towed-streamer seismic acquisition and processing– a case study from the Campos basin offshore BrazilAlex Cooke, Leandro Moreira, John Garrity, Steve Luthy, Pablo Silva, and Helmut Hsaio13 March 2014Realising the value of processing and acquisition design through elastic simulation: A North Sea case studyRobert Hardy, Chris J.
