本文介绍了近年来国外地震勘探方法中某些方面的最新进展,主要涉及垂直地震剖面方法和倾角时差校正(DMO).由单偏移距向多偏移距的发展,由单分量向多分量接收的发展是近年来垂直地震剖面方法上的重大进步.倾角时差校正和叠前偏移的发展克服了长期以来存在于地震勘探中的水平叠加理论基础与勘探实践的矛盾,由此发展出了各种较精确且实用的处理方法. In this paper, the recent advances in some aspects of seismic exploration abroad are introduced, including the method of vertical seismic profiling and the correction of dip and azimuth (DMO). From the development of single-offset to multi-offset, The development of reception is a significant advance in vertical seismic section methods in recent years.The development of dip-azimuth correction and prestack migration has overcome the contradiction between the theoretical basis of horizontal superposition existing in seismic exploration and exploration practice, A variety of more accurate and practical approach.
