Utility
Noise attenuation of multiple source seismic data
27 Dec 22
A method includes acquiring seismic data of a region that utilizes multiple seismic energy sources and seismic energy receivers where the seismic data include blended seismic data for a number of emissions from a corresponding number of the multiple seismic energy sources; determining spatially distributed coherent noise properties for the region using the blended seismic data; via the spatially distributed coherent noise properties, modeling coherent noise as at least two coherent noise models for at least two of the emissions from a corresponding at least two of the multiple seismic energy sources; via the coherent noise models, attenuating coherent noise in a portion of the blended seismic data to generate coherent noise attenuated blended seismic data; deblending the coherent noise attenuated blended seismic data to generate deblended seismic data; and rendering an image of at least a portion of the region to a display using the deblended seismic data.
