  • Method for predicting multiples in survey data
    Patent number: 10416326
    Abstract: A method includes receiving a seismic dataset from a survey, wherein the seismic dataset represents a portion of a subsurface geological formation and includes primary and multiple data. The method further includes the steps of conditioning the seismic dataset and estimating a model of the multiple data in the conditioned seismic dataset based on a user-defined parameter to derive a primary data set. Further, the method includes the steps of computing a velocity model from the primary data set using the user-defined parameter and updating the estimated multiple model based at least on a modification of the user-defined parameter. In addition, the method includes the steps of recomputing the primary data and the velocity model based on the modified user-defined parameter and generating an image of the primary data.
