Abstract
A method includes: interpolating a set of crossline seismic data from a set of acquired multicomponent seismic data; predicting a multiple in the interpolated and acquired seismic data from the combined interpolated and acquired multicomponent seismic data; and suppressing the predicted multiple. Other aspects include a program storage medium encoded with instructions that, when executed by a computing device, perform such a method and a computing apparatus programmed to perform such a method.
Claims30
A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- interpolating a set of crossline seismic data from a set of acquired multicomponent seismic data;
- predicting a multiple in the interpolated and acquired seismic data from the combined interpolated and acquired multicomponent seismic data;
- and
- suppressing the predicted multiple;
- wherein the interpoloating, predicting, and suppressing are performed on a computing apparatus.
A program storage medium, encoded with instructions that, when executed by a computing device, perform a method comprising:
- interpolating a set of crossline seismic data from a set of acquired multicomponent seismic data;
- predicting a multiple in the interpolated and acquired seismic data from the combined interpolated and acquired multicomponent seismic data;
- and
- suppressing the predicted multiple.
A computing apparatus, comprising:
- a processor;
- a bus system;
- a storage communicating with the processor over the bus system;
- and
- a software application residing on the storage that, when executed by the processor, performs a method comprising:
- interpolating a set of crossline seismic data from a set of acquired multicomponent seismic data;
- predicting a multiple in the interpolated and acquired seismic data from the combined interpolated and acquired multicomponent seismic data;
- and
- suppressing the predicted multiple.
