- 41. Diffraction
- 42. Diffraction - definition Obstacle Wave front A diffraction occurs when a wave encounters an obstacle. In classical physics, the diffraction phenomenon is described as the apparent bending of waves around small obstacles and the spreading out of waves past small openings. Research suggests that this can be used to map fractures in the sub-surface from seismic.

Editor's Notes
- Real geological surfaces are not smooth and continuous. Looking at that image just emphasize that declaration. You can see faults, movements of interfaces, fractures of different scale, size and direction. It varies from 1 mm to several hundred meters. All of that have huge implication on the interpretation that we are doing during the exploration and production process. For example, knowing the direction of the fault or fractures play crucial role on the decision where to put a rig and how to do that.At the same time most of modern imaging methods including PSDM and PSTM are looking for smooth and continuous interfaces as part of its QC routine. Normally, small scale heterogeneities in the subsurface are detected by visual interpretation of the imaging(manual or automatic) which is indirect procedure. On other hand seismic wavefield contain direct information about those small scale objects. This information encrypted in Diffraction energy. So, in case we would find a way to detect and image that energy, we found the key for that code. This presentation presents a way how to do that using MultiFocusing method.So the motivation is pretty simple – the industry would like to know where the fractures, faults and salt flanks are.
