One of the advantages of this method compared with conventional CMP stack is the summation process in each CMPs in order to obtain better signal quality. CRS travel time formula can be applied to obtain partial stacked CRS supergathers. The CRS gathers obtained by this method are regularized on offset domain and have better S/N ratio than conventional gathers. This method is very helpful to improve the quality of land seismic data subject to the random noise and lack of fold coverage. The purpose of this research is to examine the efficiency of the partial CRS stack methods to highlight AVO/A (Amplitude Versus Offset/Angle) anomalies by using synthetic seismic data. The tested AVO anomaly is class 3 where the negative amplitude increases with increasing distance/offset. Seismic modeling is performed on a simple anticline model composed of shale and sand layers. The synthetic seismic data are provided to the processing using partial CRS stack to test the offset aperture that is considered to influence the seismic amplitude. AVO analysis was conducted on the pre-stack time migrated (PSTM) synthetic data with and without partial CRS stack for three offset apertures. The seismic amplitude responses change with the apertures. Dipping reflectors also give different amplitude response from flat reflectors. It can be inferred from the analysis that although the class of AVO anomalies on the partial CRS stack gathers are almost same, there should be an optimum offset aperture to avoid ambiguous result of the AVO attributes.
