摘要:
Various implementations described herein are directed to methods for processing seismic data including enhancing seismic data generated by a seismic sensor. The methods may include receiving seismic data that had been acquired using the seismic sensor. The seismic data may include one or more first seismic data elements related to a first seismic event. The methods may include generating summands of the seismic data as an inner product of multiple seismic data elements associated with the first seismic data elements and one or more second seismic data elements. The second seismic data elements may be different than the first seismic data elements. The methods may further include enhancing the seismic data by estimating outliers in the summands of the inner product and replacing the outliers with interpolated values.

A method for de-ghosting marine seismic trace data is described. A reference seismic trace and a candidate seismic trace are selected from acquired seismic data. The acquired seismic data is gathered using a configuration wherein either a first streamer and a second streamer are disposed at different depths relative to one another and are laterally offset relative to one another, or using a configuration wherein a first source and a second source are disposed at different depths relative to one another and are laterally offset from one another. The reference seismic trace and the candidate seismic trace are processed, e.g., to perform normal moveout correction and/or vertical datum shifting, and the processed reference seismic trace is de-ghosted using the processed, candidate seismic trace.

A marine seismic data acquisition system, comprising: a seismic source arrangement comprising: a first seismic source adapted to be towed at a first predetermined depth and a second seismic source adapted to be towed at a second predetermined depth, which is deeper than the first predetermined depth, wherein, in use, the first seismic source transmits pulses, each pulse comprising an upwardly-travelling pressure wavefield, which is reflected at the sea/air interface to become a downwardly-travelling ghost pressure wavefield, and a downwardly-travelling primary pressure wavefield, and the second seismic source transmits pulses, each pulse comprising an upwardly-travelling pressure wavefield, which is reflected at the sea/air interface to become a downwardly-travelling ghost pressure wavefield, and a downwardly-travelling primary pressure wavefield, and wherein the first predetermined depth and the magnitude of the peak pressure of the upwardly-travelling pressure wavefield produced by the first seismic source are selected to create an anelastic region at the sea surface having a reflection coefficient of between −0.45 and 0, the system further comprising a receiver for receiving the pulses transmitted from the seismic source arrangement and for extracting data from within a predetermined frequency band of interest.

Various implementations directed to quality control and preconditioning of seismic data are provided. In one implementation, a method may include receiving particle motion data from particle motion sensors disposed on seismic streamers. The method may also include performing quality control (QC) processing on the particle motion data. The method may further include performing preconditioning processing on the QC-processed particle motion data. The method may additionally include attenuating noise in the preconditioning-processed particle motion data.

Methods and systems for separating multiple events from primary events in noisy seismic data are described. Multiples are predicted and then the predictions are improved by least-square matching filtering in the space and time domain. An adaptive curvelet domain separation (ACDS) is then performed and the ACDS equation is solved with an iterative soft-thresholding technique. Further processing can be added to compensate for prediction inaccuracy or variable/excessive seismic data noise by dividing the seismic data into predetermined bands and processing each band independently.

A method for use in improving marine seismic data quality includes: designing a filter for suppressing the effect of a ghost reflection in a set of stacked, marine seismic data representative of a subterranean formation, the filter compensating for amplitude due to the presence of the ghost reflection separately from the phase due to the presence of the ghost reflection; and applying the filter to the seismic data to suppress the effect of ghost reflection. The designing includes: iteratively defining at least one parameter of the filter and applying the defined filter to the seismic data; evaluating each iteration of the filters application to at least a subset of the seismic data; and selecting a defined filter from one of the evaluated iterations.

Methods and systems of generating seismic images from primaries and multiples are described. Methods separate pressure data into up-going pressure data and down-going pressure data from pressure data and vertical velocity data. Irregularly spaced receiver coordinates of the down-going and up-going pressure data are regularized to grid points of a migration grid and interpolation is used to fill in down-going and up-going pressure data at grid points of the migration grid. A seismic image is calculated at grid points of the migration grid based on the interpolated and regularized down-going pressure data and the interpolated and regularized up-going pressure data. The seismic images are high-resolution, have lower signal-to-noise ratio than seismic images generated by other methods, and have reduced acquisition artifacts and crosstalk effects.
