We have developed an efficient, accurate, and flexible plane-wave migration algorithm in the frequency domain by using a compressed and coupled-plane-wave data set, known as the double-plane-wave (DPW) data set. The DPW data set obtained by slant stacking of seismic shot profiles over source and receiver/offset represents seismic data in a fully decomposed plane-wave domain, which is called the DPW domain. A new DPW migration algorithm is derived under the Born approximation in the frequency domain, and it is referred to as the frequency-domain DPW reverse time migration (RTM). Frequency plane-wave Green’s functions need to be constructed and used during the migration. Time dips in shot profiles help to estimate the range of plane-wave decomposition. Therefore, the number of frequency plane-wave Green’s functions required for migration is limited. Furthermore, frequency plane-wave Green’s functions can be used for imaging each set of plane waves — either source or receiver/offset plane waves. As a result, the computational burden of computing Green’s function is substantially reduced; this results in increasing the migration efficiency. A selected range of plane-wave components can be migrated independently to image specific targets. Ray-parameter common-image gathers can be generated after migration without extra effort. The algorithm was tested on several synthetic data sets to show its feasibility and usefulness. The frequency-domain DPW RTM can also include anisotropy by constructing plane-wave Green’s function in anisotropic media.

This study derives a preconditioned stochastic conjugate gradient (CG) method that combines stochastic optimization with singular spectrum analysis (SSA) denoising to improve the efficiency and image quality of plane-wave least-squares reverse time migration (PLSRTM). This method reduces the computational costs of PLSRTM by applying a controlled group-sampling method to a sufficiently large number of plane-wave sections and accelerates the convergence using a hybrid of stochastic descent (SD) iteration and CG iteration. However, the group sampling also produces aliasing artifacts in the migration results. We use SSA denoising as a preconditioner to remove the artifacts. Moreover, we implement the preconditioning on the take-off angle-domain common-image gathers (CIGs) for better results. We conduct numerical tests using the Marmousi model and Sigsbee2A salt model and compare the results of this method with those of the SD method and the CG method. The results demonstrate that our method efficiently eliminates the artifacts and produces high-quality images and CIGs.
