METHODS FOR DEBLENDING OF SEISMIC SHOT GATHERS

摘要

Methods to deblend seismic data from a plurality of sources and received by a plurality of sensors as shot gathers is disclosed. The deblending is performed by a Mutual Interdependence Analysis Method to separate contributions of different shots. Deblending is also performed by applying a measure of coherence in parallel data domains such as Common Shot Gather and Common Midpoint. Deblending is also is achieved by using the hyperbolic nature of seismic data in the common midpoint domain. Deblended signals are estimated and are applied to create a seismic image. Also, Bergman iteration based migration is applied directly on the blended seismic shot gathers without first deblending as an alternative method. The methods are applied in seismic imaging for exploration of natural resources. imaging for exploration of natural resources.
