System and method for performing anisotropy corrections of post-imaging
seismic data for a subsurface formation. The method may receive seismic
data, preferably pre-stack seismic data comprising a plurality of traces,
e.g., collected from a plurality of source and receiver locations. The
seismic data may be imaged/migrated to produce imaged seismic data, which
is organized into an arrangement that preserves aspects of the relative
seismic propagation angle in the subsurface. One or more anisotropic
parameters and corresponding corrections may be determined by analyzing
the organized imaged seismic data. The determined parameters or
corrections may be used to correct at least a subset of the imaged
seismic data, thereby producing corrected seismic data which is useable
in analyzing the formation. The corrected data may then optionally be
stacked to produce a collection of corrected stacked traces, and/or
analyzed as desired. The pre-stack data and/or the corrected seismic data
may optionally be displayed.
