Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to reducing noise in geophysical marine survey data through use of a dip map data structure. Such techniques may include adapting a model of multiple noise to seismic data. A multiple dip map may be generated by convolving the adapted model of multiple noise with a set of directional filters. A modified record of the seismic data may be generated through adaptive subtraction that is sufficient to remove most multiple events but may also damage at least some primary events. A primary dip map may then be determined from the modified record by interpolation dependent on the multiple dip map. A noise template may then be adaptively subtracted from the seismic data. Prior to the adaptive subtraction, the noise template is adapted to the seismic data by a degree of adaptation that is determined dependent upon relative amplitudes of the primary and multiple dip maps.

Abstract: Noise signals can be attenuated on a trace-by-trace basis from traces of marine seismic survey data to yield a signal component and a noise component. A signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) variance of a plurality of traces comprising the signal component can be less than an SNR variance of the plurality of traces comprising the marine seismic survey data. Signal leakage can be attenuated from the noise component to yield a signal leakage component. A seismic image of a subsurface location can be generated based on the signal component and the signal leakage component.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to reducing noise in geophysical marine survey data. According to some embodiments, a complex-valued, directional, multi-resolution (CDM) transform may be applied to marine survey input data and a noise template. Global adaptation constraints and, optionally, local adaptation constraints may be generated dependent on the transformed marine survey data and transformed noise template. The transformed noise template may be adapted dependent upon the global (and, optionally, local) constraints, and the adapted transformed noise template may be subtracted from the transformed marine survey data to remove noise. An inverse CDM transform may be performed on the resulting data to generate reduce-noise marine survey data in the input domain.
