· This assumption is that a buried regolith layer that contributes to the subsurface echo lies between the uppermost basalt layer and the underlying basalt layer (Figure 1). Oshigami et al . [ 2012 ] showed that the echo intensity of the subsurface echo observed by LRS could not be explained by the mineral composition gap only, so that the buried regolith is required between them.
Seismic imaging of subbasalt sedimentary layers is difficult due to high impedance of the basalt layer, the roughness of the top and bottom of the basalt layer and sometimes the heterogeneities within the basalt layer. In this thesis we identify specific problems within the modern imaging technology which limit subbasalt imaging. The basic framework for the identifiion of this limitation ...
· Subbasalt imaging using conventional seismic reflection profile is difficult because of the intrinsic properties of the basalt, which hinders penetration of seismic energy due to heterogeneous highvelocity basalt layers, rugosity with highly reflective top of the basalts particularly where it is rough and sters much of the seismic energy.
For successful carbon storage in basalt, better intra and subbasalt subsurface imaging is needed. In recent years, big 3D seismic data programs utilizing triple and Penta source technologies for better sampling have improved basalt imaging, but much progress is still to be made on the processing side: "Subbasalt imaging is 20 times more challenging than subsalt" (Zhiming Li, his ...
The first layer is a thin layer of very dry weathered basalt, with an average value of ρ = 8430, and at a depth ranging from 1 to m. The value of apparent resistivity in the second layer is about ρ > 4000 and at depth ranging from to 20 m, which might be comprised of fresh basalt. The third layer has an apparent
At the first mine, the basalt is relatively deep (114 m) and relatively thin (20 m). Conventional seismic acquisition and processing of a 2D seismic line provide poor results. However, upgoing reflections from layers below the basalt are clearly evident in the VSP survey and prestack depth migration is able to improve the continuity of the reflectors beneath the basalt.
· Producing seismic profiles of potential hydrocarbon reserves under basalt, however, is a major challenge because of the rock's structure and variability. Imaging through basalt White's research has resulted in new seismic imaging techniques capable of 'seeing' with greater accuracy the size and shape of potential hydrocarbon reservoirs lying beneath basalt.

· Prestack depth migration overcomes some of the major issues (okay, approximations!) with time migration. Time migration doesn't really handle refraction, either within a rock layer (as a result of the seismic velocity gradient increasing through effects like compaction) or at an unconformity, especially with a layer with a much higher seismic velocity than sediment, like salt or basalt.
· Using seismic, one can usually establish the top of the basalt accurately. But due to the heterogeneities in the basalt layer in combination with high seismic impedance contrasts it can be challenging to accurately image the base of the basalt and underlying sediments (Fliedner and White, 2001; Fruehn et al., 2001).

Basalt Layer Seismic Processing. May 01, 2005 New seismic reflection data have been used to image intra and subbasalt features beneath the Faroe–Shetland Basin in the North Atlantic, where the highly reflective top and base boundaries of flood basalts and their complex internal structure make successful seismic imaging difficult.
