Popis: A modeling study of a subsalt exploration problem was used to help understand imaging issues and to help plan solutions to those issues. By comparing images from various acquisition geometries ranging from wide (WATS) to narrow (NATS) one can say WATS and certain XWATS geometries should resolve most of the subsalt imaging problems for the area of interest. Despite these improvements subsalt illumination remains an issue for all types of acquisition geometries as demonstrated by interpreting images and creating amplitude maps. WATS geometries seem to be more robust when faced with velocity model inaccuracies.
