Summary Recently, tilted transverse isotropic (TTI) imaging has become a standard practice in deep water Gulf of Mexico (GOM) to resolve the anisotropic effects of wave propagation in salt-withdrawal mini-basins. Tilted orthorhombic (T-ORT) anisotropy, which usually represents parallel-aligned fractures normally embedded in tilted thin sedimentary layers, is a less-restricted assumption and can be applied to more complicated geological formations. This paper focuses on the key components of T-ORT depth imaging: T-ORT ray tracing, the procedure to build initial T-ORT models, and T-ORT tomography. With a real multi-azimuth (MAZ) dataset in the Perdido fold belt, GOM, we demonstrate the effectiveness of the T-ORT velocity model building, where the estimated T-ORT anisotropic parameters are consistent with the geological setting. T-ORT prestack depth migration flattens common image gathers (CIGs) in all azimuths and results in improvements in image focusing, as well as spatial positioning of complex structures in the area
