French term

tomographie avant stack anisotrope en fonction de l’azimut

French to English Tech/Engineering oil exploration
It's mainly the last part of this sentence that is posing me probleems "en fonction de l’azimut"). I believe the bit that comes before would be "anistropic before stack tomography":

De plus, l’équipe cherche à réussir un challenge supplémentaire en développant une tomographie avant stack anisotrope en fonction de l’azimut.

azimuthally anisotropic pre-stack tomography

When sound velocities in geologic strata are variable (anisotropic), stacking of the tomographies can be useless because correspondence between them can be poor, so pre-stack data are used. 'Anisotrope en fonction de l’azimut' means that the tomography is anisotropic with respect to the azimuth, or, more condensed, azimuthally anisotropic.

azimuth based anisotropic tomography before stack

no particular problem with the translation of terms

I would formulate it like that (taking advantage of the concentration capability of the language)
