Amplitude enhancement of RTM angle gathers with deconvolution

Deconvolution has been routinely applied in seismic processing to enhance the resolution of migrated images. While full multi-dimensional deconvolution is only achievable through computationally expensive least-squares migration, we demonstrate that, when properly implemented, the deconvolution imaging condition can efficiently improve the image resolution and produce more balanced angle gathers. Using both synthetic and a field data examples, we demonstrate the enhancement in the amplitude of the migrated images and angle gathers using a deconvolution imaging condition.
