  • Method for suppressing noise from seismic signals by source position determination
    Patent number: 6751559
    Abstract: A method is disclosed for attenuating noise from marine seismic signals caused by a noise in the water. The method includes determining an arrival time of a noise event at each of a plurality of seismic sensors, estimating a position of the noise source from the arrival times, and attenuating the noise event from the signals detected by the seismic sensors.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 10, 2002
    Date of Patent: June 15, 2004
    Assignee: PGS Exploration (UK) Limited
    Inventors: Gregory Peter Gwyn Fookes, Roald Gunnar van Borselen, Jaafar Ali, John Brittan, Jeroen Hubertus Maria Hoogeveen

  • Method of reduction of noise from seismic data traces
    Patent number: 5818795
    Abstract: A method of suppression of burst coherent noise in seismic data is provided comprising (a) comparing a threshold amplitude characteristic acceptance value for a time window of a reference trace to an amplitude characteristic of a test trace of a set of traces within the window and; (b) applying a non-zero scalar to the test trace in the time window if an amplitude of the test trace within the time window is not within the threshold amplitude characteristic acceptance value.
