Abstract: A method for processing seismic data related to a structure under a body of water to generate an image of the structure includes receiving seismic data acquired using detectors disposed on a depth-varying profile streamer. The method further includes generating, from the seismic data, first traces that correspond to traces as recorded by the detectors and migrated to water surface, and second traces that correspond to traces as would be recorded by virtual detectors mirroring the detectors relative to the water surface and migrated to water surface. The method also includes generating third traces as a sum of corresponding ones among the first traces and second traces, and fourth traces as a difference of the corresponding ones of the first and second traces. The method then includes deghosting at least one of the first and second traces using positive and negative polarity portions of the third and fourth traces.

Abstract: Methods and systems for variable wavelet correction are described. A variable depth dataset is deghosted before presentation to a multiples prediction step of multiples elimination model. In another aspect, the multiples prediction is reghosted before presentation to an adaptive subtraction step of the multiples elimination model. A source-side zero-phasing signature can be applied before deghosting and a predefined gain can be applied in the low and high frequency sides as part of deghosting and reghosting to compensate for the squaring effect produced by convolving wavelets.
