Introduction

The Tanami seismic survey ran from May through July 2005 under the supervision of ANSIR (National Research Facility for Earth Sounding). The survey consisted of 720 line-km along four regional deep seismic traverses, 05GA-T1 through to 05GA-T4, aimed at providing orthogonal three-dimensional control on the regional fault geometry.

Geoscience Australia processed the data in the 12 months following the survey, using the DISCO/FOCUS seismic processing package. Considerable effort was expended on the most critical aspects for improving the seismic reflection image, namely refraction statics correction, several passes of velocity analysis, and partial pre-stack followed by post stack migration of the data. Partial pre-stack migration (also known as dip moveout or DMO correction) was necessary for simultaneous imaging of horizontal and steeply dipping reflectors.
