Abstract: As the exploration and development spread to deep subtle reservoirs, the palaeo buried-hill reservoir becomes one of the major targets. The Hejian buried-hill inside is characterized by large depth, complicated structures and low S/N ratio, which brings about great challenges to the precise imaging and structure confrmation of the buried-hill inside. This paper presented the basic principle of reversetime migration based on the two-way wave equation, including higher-order fnite difference wave feld extrapolation algorithm and perfectly matched layer absorbing boundary conditions. After the characteristics of the Hejian buried-hill inside were analyzed, the reverse-time migration and traditional pre-stack depth migration were used to process the model data and actual data. The results show that the reverse-time migration can realize precise imaging of the Hejian buried-hill inside, with better performance than the traditional method.

Key words: Hejian buried-hill, buried-hill inside, reverse-time migration, higher-order fnite difference
