Abstract:: Conventional shot-record reverse time migration (RTM) suffers from a high computational burden when dealing with massive data. The computational cost of RTM can be reduced by shot-encoding techniques, and plane-wave encoding is a commonly used and effective shot-encoding scheme. However, plane-wave encoding requires long time padding to avoid information loss, which decreases the efficiency of the time-domain wavefield extrapolator, and the time padding becomes longer with the increasing distance between multiple sources. The piecewise plane-wave encoding scheme cuts multiple sources into several segments prior to implementing plane-wave encoding, hence reduces the time padding, but brings new crosstalk due to the mutual interference between shots in different source segments. We suppress the crosstalk artifacts by a new bipolar-bisection amplitude encoding method, in which half of the encoding array of each migration is different from that of any other migrations to reduce the number of crosstalk terms with as few migrations as possible. We embed the bipolar-bisection method into piecewise plane-wave encoding. Compared with planewave encoding, the proposed scheme requires considerably shorter time padding and thus works more efficiently and can generate a qualified imaging result. The feasibility of the proposed method is tested on the 2D SEG/EAGE salt model and the Marmousi model.
