Hi-Fi Pre-Stack Depth Seismic Imaging

There are many challenges in producing a 3D depth seismic volume that gives both the correct geometric relationship and true amplitude. The following are a few of the key issues:

  • Large statics due to rapid change of topography and rapid changes of near surface lithologies
  • Coherent noises generated by various sources
  • Large spiking noises
  • Surface and inter-bed multiples
  • Incorrect velocity models
  • Non-amplitude preserving time and depth migrations
  • Amplitude damaging pre-stack and post-stack noise attenuations and cosmetic filtering

Our proprietary high fidelity pre-stack seismic processing solution includes the following key technologies:

  • High resolution tomographic static correction
  • Near surface Q attenuation compensation
  • Adaptive high amplitude irregular noise removal (AHAINR) using signal reconstruction
  • Pattern recognition adaptive noise subtraction (PRANS)
  • High resolution pattern recognition adaptive multiple attenuation (PRAMA)
  • Wave equation pattern recognition adaptive multiple attenuation (WEPRAMA)
  • Amplitude preserving and high angle pre-stack depth migration
  • Isotropic and anisotropic migration noise free reverse time migration (RTM)

Our proprietary high fidelity pre-stack depth seismic processing solution provides:

  • Accurate images of complex subsurface structures in depth domain
  • Relative reflection seismic amplitude
  • Proper data for pre-stack elastic inversion
  • Proper data for geobody modeling, fracture characterization and hydrocarbon predictions
  • Proper data for geological interpretation in the search for and development of hydrocarbons
