 HPG Regularization
Common-Reflection-Point Trajectory
Traveltime regularization based on Common-reflection-point (CRP)
Trajectories ensures that only the amplitudes related to the same
reflection point are considered on the regularization process.

Conventional traveltime regularization methods may suffer from

reflection-point dispersal on dipping and/or curved reflectors when
considering Common Midpoint (CMP) configuration.

Double Square Root Stacking
Separation and enhancement of diffractions by means of
traveltime stacking.

The separated diffractions can be used to:

Determine fault planes;
Determine pinch-outs;
Determine discontinuities;
Perform quality control for time/depth migration;
Update migration velocity models.
