%0 Journal Article %T CRS SEISMIC PROCESSING OF A GEOLOGICAL COMPLEX AREA %A Jim¨¦nez %A Eduardo %A Vargas %A Carlos A %A Montes %A Luis A %J Earth Sciences Research Journal %D 2009 %I Universidad Nacional de Colombia %X we applied the nmo and crs (common reflector surface) approaches to a complex geological area in order to compare their performances for obtaining enhanced images. unlike nmo, crs does not depend on a previous time velocity model and uses a hyperbolic equation to estimate 2d travel times through three parameters (normal ray emergence angle, nip and n wavefront curvatures). to obtain the image a solution provided by coherence analysis algorithm was used. a low quality colombian seismic line acquired in middle magdalena basin was used, where a foothill geological area is characterized by a thrusting fault. the crs provided an enhanced image which allowed a new geological interpretation that is best constrained with other regional observations. %K common reflection surface (crs) stack %K zero-offset (zo) %K normal moveout correction (nmo) %K common mid point (cmp) %K superficie com¨²n de reflexi¨®n crs %K zero-offset (zo) %K correcci¨®n por sobre tiempo normal (nmo) %K punto medio (cmp). %U http://www.scielo.org.co/scielo.php?script=sci_abstract&pid=S1794-61902009000200004&lng=en&nrm=iso&tlng=en
