Course Description
Signal-to-Noise Enhancement Methods and Multiple Elimination Training Course
The occurrence of noise is a pervading problem in seismic data. As there are many types of noise (random, organized in various ways) there are also many ways to reduce its impact. Moreover, while removing the noise, it is essential that the desired signal should be preserved.
A representative overview will be given of the various types of noise together with methods to eliminate each type. A special type of organized of noise are multiples. It may even be argued that multiples are useful energy that should be used, after its separation from the primaries, for e.g. imaging. Depending on the environment, a specific type of multiple might be dominant, e.g. in a water layer with arbitrary waterbottom geometry or free-surface generated multiples. Such multiples require specific techniques for prediction and subsequent subtraction.
An overview of all multiple types will be given together with methods to eliminate these.
Course Objectives
Participants will get a full understanding of the various types of noise. They will be able for each dataset to assess the type of noise, apply the appropriate method with the correct choice of parameters and use the proper diagnostics before and after the noise elimination.
Who Should Attend
Geophysicists who deal with seismic data processing and who especially want to familiarize themselves with the occurrence of noise and methodologies of handling of the large variety of noise phenomena.
