Patent number: 10054704Abstract: Data representing a first multiple is predicted, based on first survey data for a target structure, using a multidimensional model of a layer in which the first multiple occurs. Modified survey data is produced by performing a subtraction of the predicted data representing the first multiple from the first survey data. Based on the modified survey data, data representing a second multiple is predicted using the multidimensional model.Type: GrantFiled: June 4, 2014Date of Patent: August 21, 2018Assignee: WESTERNGECO L.L.C.Inventors: Richard Bisley, Ian Moore

Patent number: 8879353Abstract: A method and apparatus for predicting a plurality of surface multiples for a plurality of traces in a record of seismic data. In one embodiment, the method includes providing a plurality of target traces at a nominal offset and a nominal azimuth; selecting a plurality of pairs of input traces, wherein the midpoints of the input traces in each pair are separated by half the nominal offset and the azimuth of a line connecting the midpoints of the input traces in each pair is equal to the nominal azimuth; convolving the selected pairs of input traces to generate a plurality of convolutions; and applying a three dimensional operator to the convolutions.Type: GrantFiled: January 27, 2009Date of Patent: November 4, 2014Assignee: WesternGeco L.L.C.Inventors: Richard Bisley, Ian Moore

Patent number: 7796467Abstract: A method and apparatus for predicting a plurality of surface multiples for a plurality of target traces in a record of seismic data. In one embodiment, the method includes creating a file containing information regarding a plurality of pairs of recorded traces. Each pair of recorded traces is substantially closest to a desired shot-side trace and a desired receiver-side trace. The method further includes convolving the pairs of recorded traces to generate a plurality of convolutions and stacking the convolutions for each target trace.Type: GrantFiled: July 16, 2004Date of Patent: September 14, 2010Assignee: WesternGeco L.L.C.Inventors: Richard Bisley, Ian Moore, William H. Dragoset, Jr.
