  • 3D surface related multiple elimination for wide azimuth seismic data
    Patent number: 8082106
    Abstract: According to a preferred aspect of the instant invention, there is provided herein a system and method for the imaging and monitoring of the subsurface hydrocarbon reservoirs and other subsurface features, wherein the collected seismic data contain multiples therein. In brief, the instant invention is a method of removing multiples using surface-related multiple elimination (SRME), wherein wide azimuth seismic data are used to directly compute a multiple prediction via a mixed space-wavenumber-frequency domain implementation.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 25, 2008
    Date of Patent: December 20, 2011
    Assignee: BP Corporation North America Inc.
    Inventors: Kenneth H. Matson, John T. Etgen, Phuong Vu
