Seismic reflection data interpolation with differential offset and shot continuation
نویسنده
چکیده
I propose a finite-difference offset continuation filter for interpolating seismic reflection data. The filter is constructed from the offset continuation differential equation and is applied on frequency slices in the log-stretch frequency domain. Synthetic and real data tests demonstrate that the proposed method succeeds in structurally complex situations where more simplistic approaches fail.

Seismic data interpolation with the offset continuation equation
I propose a finite-difference offset continuation filter for interpolating seismic reflection data. The filter is constructed from the offset continuation differential equation and is applied on frequency slices in the log-stretch frequency domain. Synthetic data tests produce encouraging results: nearly perfect interpolation of a constant-velocity dataset with a complex reflector model and rea...
متن کاملThree-dimensional Seismic Data Regularization a Dissertation Submitted to the Department of Geophysics and the Committee on Graduate Studies of Stanford University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy
This dissertation addresses the problem of interpolating irregularly spaced seismic exploration data to regular spatial locations. This problem arises in practice in three-dimensional seismic exploration in such applications as Kirchhoff prestack migration, multiple elimination, waveequation migration, and 4-D seismic monitoring. I formulate data regularization as a linear-estimation problem an...
متن کاملOptimizing design of 3D seismic acquisition by CRS trace interpolation
Land seismic data acquisition in most of cases suffers from obstacles in fields which deviates geometry of the real acquired data from what was designed. These obstacles will cause gaps, narrow azimuth and offset limitation in the data. These shortcomings, not only prevents regular trace distribution in bins, but also distorts the subsurface image by reducing illumination of the target formatio...
متن کاملInterferometric interpolation of missing seismic data
Interpolation of missing seismic data (such as missing nearoffset data, gaps, etc.) is an important issue in seismic surveys. Here we show that interferometry can be used to fill in some gaps in the data. The interferometric method creates virtual traces in the gaps by crosscorrelation of traces in a shot gather followed by summation over all shot positions. Compared to other interpolation meth...
متن کاملAmplitude preservation for offset continuation: Confirmation for Kirchhoff data
Offset continuation (OC) is the operator that transforms common-offset seismic reflection data from one offset to another. Earlier papers by the first author presented a partial differential equation in midpoint and offset to achieve this transformation. The equation was derived from the kinematics of the continuation process with no reference to amplitudes. We present here a proof that the sol...
