Keberadaan water-bottom multiple merupakan hal yang tidak bisa dihindari dalam akuisisi data seismik laut, tentu saja hal ini akan menurunkan tingkat perbandingan sinyal dan noise. Beberapa metode atenuasi telah dikembangkan dalam menekan noise ini. Metode atenuasi multiple diklasifikasikan dalam tiga kelompok meliputi metode dekonvolusi yang mengidentifikasi multiple berdasarkan periodisitasnya, metode filtering yang memisahkan refleksi primer dan multiple dalam domain tertentu (F-K,Tau-P dan Radon domain) serta metode prediksi medan gelombang. Penerapan metode F-K demultiple yang masuk kategori kedua akan diterapkan terhadap data seismik PPPGL tahun 2010 di perairan Teluk Tomini. Atenuasi terhadap water-bottom multiple berhasil dilakukan akan tetapi pada beberapa bagian multiple masih terlihat dengan amplitude relatif lebih kecil. F-K demultiple tidak efektif dalam mereduksi multiple pada offset yang pendek dan multiple pada zona ini yang memberikan kontribusi terhadap keberadaan multiple pada penampang akhir. Kata kunci : F-K demultiple, multiple, atenuasi The presence of water-bottom multiple is unavoidable in marine seismic acquisition, of course, this will reduce signal to noise ratio. Several attenuation methods have been developed to suppress this noise. Multiple attenuation methods are classified into three groups first deconvolution method based on periodicity, second filtering method that separates the primary and multiple reflections in certain domains (FK, Tau-P and the Radon domain) ang the third method based on wavefield prediction. Application of F-K demultiple incoming second category will be applied to the seismic data in 2010 PPPGL at Tomini Gulf waters. Attenuation of the water-bottom multiple successful in reduce multiple but in some parts of seismic section multiple still visible with relatively smaller amplitude. FK demultiple not effective in reducing multiple at near offset and multiple in this zone contribute to the existence of multiple in final section. Key words : F-K demultiple, multiple, attenuation

Wave Migration

In taking into account both compressional (P) and shear (S) waves, more geologic information can likely be extracted from the seismic data. The presence of shear and converted shear waves in both land and marine seismic data recordings calls for the development of elastic wave‐migration methods. The migration method presently developed consists of simultaneous migration of P- and S-waves for offset seismic data based on the Kirchhoff‐Helmholtz type integrals for elastic waves. A new principle of simultaneously migrating both P- and S-waves is introduced. The present method, named the Kirchhoff elastic wave migration, has been tested using the 2-D synthetic surface data calculated from several elastic models of a dipping layer (including a horizontal layer), a composite dipping and horizontal layer, and two layers over a half‐space. The results of these tests not only assure the feasibility of this migration scheme, but also demonstrate that enhanced images in the migrated sections are well formed. Moreover, the signal‐to‐noise ratio increases in the migrated seismic section by this elastic wave migration, as compared with that using the Kirchhoff acoustic (P-) wave migration alone. This migration scheme has about the same order of sensitivity of migration velocity variations, if [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] vary concordantly, to the recovery of the reflector as that of the Kirchhoff acoustic (P-) wave migration. In addition, the sensitivity of image quality to the perturbation of [Formula: see text] has also been tested by varying either [Formula: see text] or [Formula: see text]. For varying [Formula: see text] (with [Formula: see text] fixed), the migrated images are virtually unaffected on the [Formula: see text] depth section while they are affected on the [Formula: see text] depth section. For varying [Formula: see text] (with [Formula: see text] fixed), the migrated images are affected on both the [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] depth sections.

Interferensi water-bottom multipel terhadap reflektor primer menimbulkan efek bersifat destruktif yang menyebabkan penampang seismik menjadi tidak tepat akibat kehadiran reflektor semu. Teknik demultiple perlu diaplikasikan untuk mengatenuasi multipel. Transformasi parabolic radon merupakan teknik atenuasi multipel dengan metode pemisahan dalam domain radon. Multipel sering teridentifikasi pada penampang seismik. Untuk memperbaiki penampang seismik akan dilakukan dengan metode transformasi parabolic radon. Penerapan metode ini mengakibatkan reflektor multipel melemah dan tereduksi setelah dilakukan muting dalam domain radon terhadap zona multipel. Beberapa reflektor primer juga ikut melemah akibat pemisahan dalam domain radon yang kurang optimal, pemisahan akan optimal membutuhkan distribusi offset yang lebar. Kata kunci: Parabolic radon, multipel, atenuasi Water-bottom mutiple interference often destructively interfere with primary reflection that led to incorrect seismic section due to presence apparent reflector. Demultiple techniques need to be applied to attenuate the multiple. Parabolic Radon transform is demultiple attenuation technique that separate multiple and primary in radon domain. Water-bottom mutiple ussualy appear and easly identified on seismic data, parabolic radon transform applied to improve the seismic section. Application of this method to data showing multiple reflectors weakened and reduced after muting multiple zones in the radon domain. Some of the primary reflector also weakened due to bad separation in radon domain, optimal separation will require a wide distribution of offsets. Keywords: Parabolic radon, multiple, attenuation

Various weather-related mechanisms for noise generation during marine seismic acquisition were addressed from a fluid-dynamic perspective. This was done by analyzing a number of seismic lines recorded on modern streamers during nonoptimal weather conditions. In addition, we examined some of the complex fluid-mechanics processes associated with flow that surrounds seismic streamers. The main findings were that noise in the [Formula: see text] range is mostly the result of direct hydrostatic-pressure fluctuations on the streamer caused by wave motion. For normal swell noise above [Formula: see text] and for crossflow noise, a significant portion of the observed noise probably comes from dynamic fluctuations caused by the interaction between the streamer and fluid structures in its turbulent boundary layer. This explanation differs from most previous work, which has focused on streamer oscillations, bulge waves inside old fluid-filled seismic streamers, or strumming/tugging as the main source of weather-related noise. Although modern streamers are less sensitive to such sources of noise, their ability to tackle the influence on turbulent flow noise has not improved. This implies that noise induced by turbulent flow has increased its relative impact on modern equipment. To improve the signal-to-noise ratio on seismic data, design issues related to flow noise must be addressed.

Water Bottom

Multiple reflections that are generated by the water bottom in marine seismic data can be predicted by a combination of numerical wave extrapolation through the water layer and estimation of the water‐bottom reflectivity. Attenuation of the multiples occurs when the predicted wave field is subtracted from the original record. I derive the expressions needed for prediction of the multiples, following the ideas of Morley, in a form that can be used to estimate the reflectivity of a water bottom that has a complex shape and has a reflectivity that varies with lateral position, frequency, and reflection angle. The specific form of the operations needed for prediction is implemented without assumptions about the simplicity or flatness of the water bottom. The derivation implies that the recorded wave field may be interpreted as both an upgoing and a downgoing wave. This interpretation is correct except for a simple surface ghost present in both interpretations. Application of the predictive method to data collected over a hard, complex water bottom demonstrates that it effectively attenuates water‐bottom and peg‐leg multiples even when the water bottom is complex and changes in character within the span of a shot gather. The same data were processed with various combinations of predictive attenuation, prestack automatic gain control, prestack moveout discrimination, and stacking. The multiple attenuation achieved with the predictive method alone was greater than that achieved by moveout discrimination alone; the net attenuation achieved by sequential application of all the methods was approximately additive.

Despite significant advances in marine streamer design, seismic data are often plagued by coherent noise having approximately linear moveout across stacked sections. With an understanding of the characteristics that distinguish such noise from signal, we can decide which noise‐suppression techniques to use and at what stages to apply them in acquisition and processing. Three general mechanisms that might produce such noise patterns on stacked sections are examined: direct and trapped waves that propagate outward from the seismic source, cable motion caused by the tugging action of the boat and tail buoy, and scattered energy from irregularities in the water bottom and sub‐bottom. Depending upon the mechanism, entirely different noise patterns can be observed on shot profiles and common‐midpoint (CMP) gathers; these patterns can be diagnostic of the dominant mechanism in a given set of data. Field data from Canada and Alaska suggest that the dominant noise is from waves scattered within the shallow sub‐buttom. This type of noise, while not obvious on the shot records, is actually enhanced by CMP stacking. Moreover, this noise is not confined to marine data; it can be as strong as surface wave noise on stacked land seismic data as well. Of the many processing tools available, moveout filtering is best for suppressing the noise while preserving signal. Since the scattered noise does not exhibit a linear moveout pattern on CMP‐sorted gathers, moveout filtering must be applied either to traces within shot records and common‐receiver gathers or to stacked traces. Our data example demonstrates that although it is more costly, moveout filtering of the unstacked data is particularly effective because it conditions the data for the critical data‐dependent processing steps of predictive deconvolution and velocity analysis.

Multiple Elimination

Some of the important petroleum reservoirs accumulate beneath the seas and oceans. Marine seismic reflection method is the most efficient method and is widely used in the petroleum industry to map and interpret the potential of petroleum reservoirs. Multiple reflections are a particular problem in marine seismic reflection investigation, as they often obscure the target reflectors in seismic profiles. Multiple reflections can be categorized by considering the shallowest interface on which the bounces take place into two types: internal multiples and surface-related multiples. Besides, the multiples can be categorized on the interfaces where the bounces take place, a difference between long-period and short-period multiples can be considered. The long-period surface-related multiples on 2D marine seismic data of the East Coast of the United States-Southern Atlantic Margin were focused on this research. The seismic profile demonstrates the effectiveness of the results from predictive deconvolution and the combination of surface-related multiple eliminations (SRME) and parabolic Radon filtering. First, predictive deconvolution applied on conventional processing is the method of multiple suppression. The other, SRME is a model-based and data-driven surface-related multiple elimination method which does not need any assumptions. And the last, parabolic Radon filtering is a moveout-based method for residual multiple reflections based on velocity discrimination between primary and multiple reflections, thus velocity model and normal-moveout correction are required for this method. The predictive deconvolution is ineffective for long-period surface-related multiple removals. However, the combination of SRME and parabolic Radon filtering can attenuate almost long-period surface-related multiple reflections and provide a high-quality seismic images of marine seismic data.

Free-surface-related multiples can provide extra illumination of the subsurface and thus can be usefully included in migration procedures. However, most multiple migration approaches require separation of primaries and free-surface-related multiples or at least prediction of multiples in advance, which is time consuming and prone to errors. The data-to-data migration (DDM) method migrates free-surface-related multiples by forward and backward propagating the recorded full data (containing primaries and free-surface-related multiples). For DDM, there is no need to predict or separate multiples, but the migration results suffer from the crosstalk generated by crosscorrelations of undesired seismic events, e.g., primaries and second-order free-surface-related multiples. We have developed least-squares DDM (LSDDM) for marine data to eliminate the crosstalk generated by DDM. In each iteration, the forward-propagated primaries and free-surface-related multiples are crosscorrelated with the backward-propagated primary and free-surface-related multiple residuals to form the reflectivity gradient. We use a three-layer model and the Marmousi model for numerical tests. The results validate that LSDDM can provide a migrated image with higher signal-to-noise ratio and more balanced amplitudes than DDM. The LSDDM approach might be valuable for general subsurface imaging for marine seismic data when the migration velocity is accurate, and the acquired data have sufficient recording time.

Low-frequency seismic data are crucial for convergence of full-waveform inversion (FWI) to reliable subsurface properties. However, it is challenging to acquire field data with an appropriate signal-to-noise ratio in the low-frequency part of the spectrum. We have extrapolated low-frequency data from the respective higher frequency components of the seismic wavefield by using deep learning. Through wavenumber analysis, we find that extrapolation per shot gather has broader applicability than per-trace extrapolation. We numerically simulate marine seismic surveys for random subsurface models and train a deep convolutional neural network to derive a mapping between high and low frequencies. The trained network is then tested on sections from the BP and SEAM Phase I benchmark models. Our results indicate that we are able to recover 0.25 Hz data from the 2 to 4.5 Hz frequencies. We also determine that the extrapolated data are accurate enough for FWI application.

Although the use of optical techniques for enhancing seismic data has become well established, the applicability of these techniques to seismic interpretation is not so widely recognized. Optical processing is ideally suited for use as a direct aid to interpretation because of the precision with which filtering can be controlled and because of the flexibility made possible by the instantaneous visual presentation of the filtered data. Frequency relationships in seismic data have great value in interpretation, and optical techniques are particularly suitable for bringing out such relationships. The one‐dimensional optical transform displays a channel‐by‐channel spectrum of a seismic section from which useful geological information can be inferred. On such transforms significant effects can often be brought out which are not discernible on the corresponding record sections. Reefs, for example, often cause a thinning of overlying formations which gives rise to a high‐frequency anomaly on the transform, even at levels so shallow in the section that no evidence for reef effects is apparent to the eye on the original records. Characteristic frequency anomalies can also be observed over faults. One‐dimensional transforms from sections made over features of both kinds show diagnostic patterns that can be used as a basis for detection. The sharp cutoffs and flexibility available in optical filters make it possible to discriminate between conflicting events on record sections by frequency filtering alone. With proper monitoring, one can select those cutoff frequencies which bring out events that appear geologically most plausible. Multiple reflections, for example, can often be eliminated by frequency discrimination once the geophysicist identifies the primary reflections on the monitor. Often seismic records are discarded as useless, when in reality they are simply too complex to interpret because a large number of events, all potentially significant, overlap. Such events can be sorted out for possible use by optical filtering and concurrent monitoring. No other processing technique allows the geophysicist to do this so easily.

This paper discusses a two‐step method for predicting and attenuating multiple and peg‐leg reflections in unstacked seismic data. In the first step, an (observed) seismic record is extrapolated through a round‐trip traversal of the water layer, thus creating an accurate prediction of all possible multiples. In the second step, the record containing the predicted multiples is compared with and subtracted from the original. The wave‐equation method employed to predict the multiples takes accurate account of sea‐floor topography and so requires a precise water‐bottom profile as part of the input. Information about the subsurface below the sea floor is not required. The arrival times of multiple reflections are reproduced precisely, although the amplitudes are not accurate, and the sea floor is treated as a perfect reflector. The comparison step detects the similarities between the computed multiples and the original data, and estimates a transfer function to equalize the amplitudes and account for any change in waveform caused by the sea‐floor reflector. This two‐step wave‐equation method is effective even for dipping sea floors and dipping subsurface reflectors. It does not depend upon any assumed periodicity in the data or upon any difference in stacking velocity between primaries and multiples. Thus it is complementary to the less specialized methods of multiple suppression.
