3-D data processing parameters

Processing by CGG (Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia)

  1. Resample from 2 ms to 4 ms.
  2. Apply low-cut filter 5 Hz 18 dB/Oct.
  3. Apply swell noise attenuation.
  4. Apply linear noise attenuation using FK filtering.
  5. Drop adjacent traces after FK spatial anti-alias filter (receiver interval = 12.5 m).
  6. First pass velocity analysis (1 km × 1 km manual picking).
  7. Apply 3-D SRME.
  8. Apply minimum phase operator.
  9. Apply spherical divergence correction TV2 using first pass velocities.
  10. Apply exponential gain correction 1 dB/s.
  11. Second pass velocity analysis (500 m × 500 m manual picking).
  12. Automatic high-density velocity picking (100 m × 100 m) with reference velocity from second pass velocity analysis.
  13. Shot and channel amplitude correction.
  14. 3-D binning (12.5 m × 37.5 m bins).
  15. Missing trace interpolation.
  16. Bin-centering and regularization.
  17. 3-D radon demultiple.
  18. Diffracted multiple attenuation.
  19. F-X cross-line trace interpolation to 18.75 m bin size.
  20. Offset domain multiple attenuation (SPLAT).
  21. 3-D anisotropic Kirchhoff prestack time migration (PSTM) with aperture 4 km in inline and cross-line direction, dip = 90°.
  22. High-density automatic velocity and estimated time of arrival (ETA) picking every 50 m × 37.5 m for residual move-out (RMO).
  23. NMO corrected with RMO velocities and ETA values.
  24. Outer and inner trace mute.
  25. PSTM stack.
  26. Poststack multiple attenuation.
  27. Dip-dependent median filter.
  28. Apply time variant filter to follow water bottom. For 0–1800 ms, frequency should be 0/18–90/72 Hz/dB. For 2,000–11,000 ms, frequency should be 0/18–50/72 Hz/dB.
  29. Apply trace equalization, AGC with operator length = 1000 ms.
