Traveltimes of multiply reflected seismic events in a seismic profile or a model are determined from traveltimes for primary events. The traveltimes for the primary events may be obtained by ray tracing through a velocity model of the subsurface of by picking traveltimes from primary reflection horizons present in an actual seismic data set. The traveltimes for the primary events define a traveltime table for various combinations of source and receiver locations. The traveltime for a multiple corresponding to specified source and receiver positions is then determined by summing the traveltimes for primary events from the source to an interim point and from the interim point to the receiver: …

Why it's free to use
- Filed May 18, 2000. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended May 18, 2020.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by May 18, 2022.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
