    Data Conditioning

    and Reprocessing

    Sometimes it isnecessary to consider

    reprocessing of the

    seismic dataset in

    order to improve thesignal-to noise ratio.

    Sometimes a complete

    new reshoot of a

    whole 3D survey can

    be a valid option.

    Processing parametersshould be chosen in sucha way that they optimisethe end results. For thispurpose first the rawand processed CDPgathers are compared.The mute function canbe changed, whichmeans that the CDPgather is only usedbetween a certain offsetand time range.

    Vector filtering is an option when multi-

    component data is involved in full wave

    acquisition and processing. It uses vertical andradial trace pairs.

    Fourier and Radon Transform

    Shot-generated noise and multiples are oftendrastically suppressed by FK filtering. This techniquedoes incorporate a Fourier Transform that brings the datawith the normal T X reference axis into the FK domain.

    Amplitude and phase spectra describe the datacharacteristics in the FK domain.

    The sine waveform for a frequencyfx is described by:

    Sine function =Axcos ( 2fxt- x)

    Ax = maximum amplitude of fx function,

    x= phase.

    Sometimes it is handy to apply a Radon

    transform to bring the data to the TauP

    domain. The Tau stands for intercept time and P

    for the slowness parameter of the ray. In the

    TauP domain sometimes the noise can be

    removed more easily.

    Dip Move Out

    A Dip-corrected Move Out or DMO step is

    useful in areas with rather steep dips.

    Deconvolution

    Wavelet deconvolution is often done to focus (orsharpen) the seismic data and it change minimum-phase data into a zero-phase response. This

    deconvolution step tends to shorten seismicresponse from a reflector and tries to re-positionthe maximum energy of the wavelet on thevelocity/density interface.

    Enhancement in the

    Seismic ReflectionTechniques

    Seismic interpretation

    has improved a lot

    during the last

    decade. It is illustrated

    by the shapes of the

    contours on various

    depth maps from thesame investigation

    area in time

    The use of micro-electronic mechanicalsystem sensors

    (MEMS) help toimprove thesensitivity, thedynamic range andreduce the noise.Imaging software and3D visualisation (e.g.GoCadTM andVoxelgeoTM) providesa better feel for themapped surfaces.

    Ray tracing and map migration (e.g.

    PetrocaemTM and GeomigTM) results in more

    reliable depth contour maps. Depth migration

    (e.g. GeovistaTM) puts depth maps directly at

    the interpreters disposal. It uses a better

    defined velocity model of the subsurface andalso allows the processing algorithms to work

    more efficiently. Geostatistical methods (e.g.

    SigmaviewTM) allow to quantify uncertainties inthe interpretational method.

    Important new techniques are 3Dvisualisation and classification of seismic

    attributes. VoxelgeoTM and ER MapperTMprovides sophisticated methods to do 3D pixeldisplays of seismic data. SRCattributeTM lets theinterpreter calculate loads of seismic attributes.Many of these attributes are not verycomplementary to the conventional ones; butthey provide a new view on the same data. They

    are sometimes difficult to interpret and theiradditional value to the prospect evaluationefforts is rather subjective.
