None of the leading approaches to the migration of seismic sections—the Kirchhoff‐summation method, the finite‐difference method, or the frequency‐domain method—readily migrates seismic reflections to their proper positions when overburden velocities vary laterally. For inhomogeneous media, the diffraction curve for a localized, buried scatterer is no longer hyperbolic and its apex is displaced laterally from the position directly above the scatterer. Hubral observed that the Kirchhoff‐summation method images seismic data at emergent “image ray” locations rather than at the desired positions vertically above scatterers. In addition, distortions in diffraction shapes lead to incorrect imaging (i.e., incomplete diffraction collapse) and, hence, to further displacement errors for dipping reflections. The finite‐difference method has been believed to continue waves downward correctly through inhomogeneous media. In conventional implementations, however, both the finite‐difference method and frequency‐domain a...
