Diffracted seismic waves are generated by unsmooth structures in the subsurface with a size on the order of seismic wavelengths. Because the incident wave field can be significantly affected by these discontinuities, many important properties of the seismic events can be used to improve the velocity model building. In this thesis, we propose a practical approach to construct velocity models in the time and depth domains using diffractions. This methodology applies the plane wave destruction (PWD) filter jointly with the residual diffraction moveout (RDM) method to construct velocity models in time and depth domains. Our method does not depend on any requirements except for identifiable diffractions filtered from reflection events and an arbitrary initial velocity model as input. The post-stack migrated images (in the time and depth domains) are compared with the mi- grated images derived from conventional seismic processing steps. In both cases, we used post-stack Kirchhoff Migration. Beyond the to the need to identify and select the diffraction events in the post-stack migrated sections in the depth domain, the method has a very low computational cost of processing time. To reach an acceptable velocity model was less compared with conventional processing. The applicability of our methodology was verified using a real Viking Graben seismic dataset.
