Abstract: A method of attenuating interbed multiples in multiply-reflected seismic waves is performed at a computer system, the method including: providing multiple beams of seismic data and an earth model related to a geological volume; selecting one of the beams as an input beam associated with a pair of source and detector located near a top surface of the geological volume; determining at least one of (i) a source-side stationary pegleg arrival and a corresponding detector-side primary beam and (ii) a detector-side stationary pegleg arrival and a corresponding source-side primary beam; predicting an interbed multiples beam using at least one of (i) the detector-side primary beam delayed by the source-side stationary pegleg arrival and (ii) the source-side primary beam delayed by the detector-side stationary pegleg arrival; and deconvolving the predicted interbed multiples beam with the input beam to remove at least a portion of interbed multiples present in the input beam.

Abstract: A finite difference wavefield modeling framework decouples the tasks of physical modeling and hardware-software optimization through the use of a platform-agnostic intermediate representation in the form of a dataflow graph. In at least some embodiments a wavefield simulation method includes specifying a kernel of operations to be applied at each point in a space and representing the kernel as a platform-agnostic dataflow graph. For each of multiple implementation platforms, the method further includes: deriving from the platform-agnostic graph a customized graph for the implementation platform; translating the customized graph into configuration information for the implementation platform; supplying the configuration information to the implementation platform to obtain a wavefield simulator; and employing the wavefield simulator to repeatedly apply said kernel of operations to each point in the space with specified input or output signals.

Abstract: A method is performed at a FPGA coprocessor having memory that stores a plurality of blocks of compressed seismic traces. The method includes: receiving, from a host, a request for processing a predefined set of seismic traces, the request including block location and trace header information; accessing one or more of the blocks of compressed seismic traces from the memory in accordance with the block location information; decompressing each of the one or more accessed blocks into one or more seismic traces thereby forming a plurality of decompressed traces of seismic data; selecting all or a portion of the decompressed traces of seismic data in accordance with the trace header information; processing the selected decompressed traces of seismic data by applying one or more predefined operations to the seismic data; and returning the processed seismic data to the host.
