Abstract
Seismic
interferometry
is
a
recently
developed
geophysical
technique
that has been
used
almost
exclusively
to
solve
imaging
problems
in
petroleum
environments.
It
is
a
method
that has a
broad
range
of
applications
,
however
one
of the
most
well-known
is
the
ability
of the
technique
to
create
virtual
sources
at the
location
of
buried
receivers
,
without
knowledge
of the
subsurface
velocity
between
the
true
surface
sources
and the
receivers.
This
research
focuses
on a
problem
in a
minerals
environment
, in
which
a
shallow
,
steeply
dipping
sub-surface
feature
is
to be
illuminated
using
the
virtual
source
method
, a
form
of
seismic
interferometry.
The
research
presented
here
uses
both
a
ray
tracing
analysis
and
2D
synthetic
seismic
modelling
to
understand
the
implementation
issues
associated
with the
virtual
source
method.
The
ultimate
aim
is
to
understand
the
acquisition
and
processing
requirements
to
image
optimally
a
shallow
,
steeply
dipping
sub-surface
feature
in a
hard
rock
environment.
