System and method for performing anisotropy corrections of post-imaging seismic
data for a subsurface formation. The method may receive seismic data, preferably
pre-stack seismic data comprising a plurality of traces, e.g., collected from a
plurality of source and receiver locations. The seismic data may be imaged/migrated
to produce imaged seismic data, which is organized into an arrangement that preserves
aspects of the relative seismic propagation angle in the subsurface. One or more
anisotropic parameters and corresponding corrections may be determined by analyzing
the organized imaged seismic data. The determined parameters or corrections may
be used to correct at least a subset of the imaged seismic data, thereby producing
corrected seismic data which is useable in analyzing the formation. The corrected
data may then optionally be stacked to produce a collection of corrected stacked
traces, and/or analyzed as desired. The pre-stack data and/or the corrected seismic
data may optionally be displayed.
