Abstract
A method may include obtaining various seismic traces for a geological region of interest. The method may further include determining an offset attribute and an azimuthal attribute. The method may further include determining, using the offset attribute and the azimuthal attribute, a virtual trace bin for the geological region of interest. The method may further include generating a virtual trace using a subset of the seismic traces and corresponding to the virtual trace bin. The method may further include generating a velocity model for the geological region of interest using a virtual shot gather including the virtual trace and various virtual traces. A respective virtual trace among the virtual traces may correspond to a respective virtual trace bin among various virtual trace bins. The method may further include generating a seismic image of the geological region of interest using the velocity model.
