Seismic modeling system providing seismic survey data frequency domain inpainting and related methods

A seismic modeling system comprising:

• a seismic model data storage device;
• and
• a processor cooperating with said seismic model data storage device to
• transform a seismic model spatial domain data set associated with a given region into a seismic frequency domain data set, the given region including a suspect region, and the seismic model spatial domain data set comprising a compressional wave data set,
• transform a seismic model spatial domain data subset associated with the suspect region into a seismic frequency domain data subset,
• perform inpainting of the seismic frequency domain data subset based upon the seismic frequency domain data set,
• convert the inpainted seismic frequency domain data subset into an inpainted spatial domain data subset, and
• substitute the inpainted spatial domain data subset for the seismic model spatial domain data subset associated with the suspect region in the seismic model spatial domain data set associated with the given region based upon a vertical correlation compensation.

A seismic modeling method comprising:

• using a processor to
• transform a seismic model spatial domain data set associated with a given region into a seismic frequency domain data set, the given region including a suspect region,
• transform a seismic model spatial domain data subset associated with the suspect region into a seismic frequency domain data subset,
• perform inpainting of the seismic frequency domain data subset based upon the seismic frequency domain data set,
• convert the inpainted seismic frequency domain data subset into an inpainted spatial domain data subset, and
• substitute the inpainted spatial domain data subset for the seismic model spatial domain data subset associated with the suspect region in the seismic model spatial domain data set associated with the given region.
