  • Publication number: 20080221795
    Abstract: A method for processing multi-component, multi-offset electromagnetic data measured at at least one multi-component receiver, the data representative of electric and magnetic fields due to a source, the at least one multi-component receiver being disposed at a depth greater than that of the source. The method includes decomposing the measured multi-offset electric and magnetic fields into upgoing and downgoing components; and formulating a noise removal operator from the downgoing components and the properties of the medium surrounding the at least one receiver.

  • Patent number: 7286938
    Abstract: A method is provided of processing multi-component seismic data acquired by emitting multi-component seismic energy at a source location and acquiring seismic data at a multi-component seismic receiver located at a greater depth than the source location. The seismic data are decomposed into up-going constituents and down-going constituents. A de-signature and de-multiple operator is calculated from the down-going constituents of the seismic data and from properties of the medium surrounding the receiver.

  • Publication number: 20050090987
    Abstract: A method of and an apparatus for processing seismic data A method is provided of processing multi-component seismic data acquired by emitting multi-component seismic energy at a source location and acquiring seismic data at a multi-component seismic receiver located at a greater depth than the source location. The seismic data are decomposed into up-going constituents and down-going constituents (52). A de-signature and de-multiple operator is calculated (53) from the down-going constituents of the seismic data and from properties of the medium surrounding the receiver.
