Abstract: Reprocessed Results of Vintage Previous HitSeismicNext Hit Data from the Val Verde Basin Overthrust Region, West Texas

Previous HitSeismicNext Hit data processing of a 1972 vintage 2-D Previous HitseismicNext Hit line in the Val Verde Basin overthrust is compared to modern reprocessed results and to recent Previous HitseismicNext Hit data shot in the region. Improvements in Previous HitseismicNext Hit imaging are from accurate geometry installation, detailed velocity analyses, improved residual statics algorithms, modern coherency filters, and a broader spectral bandwidth. Interactive Previous HitseismicNext Hit data processing and interpretation are achieved through a network of Pentium Pro NT and IBM 43P RISC 6000 UNIX computer workstations. Previous HitSeismicNext Hit data processing is done using an interactive version of the Phoenix Vector Previous HitseismicNext Hit data processing system. Data are interpreted using GMA 2-D Previous HitseismicNext Hit interpretation software. Close integration of Previous HitseismicNext Hit data processing and interpretation from computer workstations and application software allows for accurate and efficient reprocessing of Previous HitseismicNext Hit data by the exploration team.

When comparing modern reprocessed 1972 vintage data to recent Previous HitseismicNext Hit data, many of the interpreted structural and stratigraphic features are the same. Results indicate that reprocessing of older vintage 2-D Previous HitseismicTop data could make a significant impact on exploration programs. Several new play trends are defined by the reprocessed results.
