Abstract: Coherent wave noise energy is removed from seismic data by modeling both the P-wave primary energy and the coherent wave noise energy. The P-wave primary energy is modeled first and then subtracted from the input data. The data with the P-wave primary energy removed is used as the input for coherent wave energy removal. The coherent wave energy is modeled and subtracted from the original input data, i.e. the data input into P-wave primary removal. This leaves a dataset with P-wave primary energy and noise energy not related to coherent waves. This method can be utilized to remove all types of coherent noise with a velocity difference to the desired P-wave primary energy or with a different type of moveout (change of time of arrival with source-receiver distance) such as, for example, linear moveout.
