Title: Seismic Data Processing
Inventor: HEGNA STIAN
IPC: G01V1/36
Filed: 2015-04-10
Abstract: A method for seismic data processing includes obtaining 13104 seismic data acquired based upon trigger times and not based upon positions of triggered source elements. The seismic data includes near-continuously recorded seismic data in split records. The split records can be spliced 13106 together into a single near-continuous record to produce a trace with seismic data from a single acquired line. The seismic data can be processed 13108 by performing a spatial shift for each of a number of time samples to correct for motion of a number of seismic receivers. In another aspect, the data is shifted spatially based on a horizontal wavenumber and a distance that the receiver moved at a time relative to a start of the recording. In another aspect the data processing involves identifying source elements that contribute to a plurality of time windows. Another aspect relates to a processing system wherein a plurality of time windows of a near-continuous record of seismic data contributed to by a respective plurality of sets of source elements is selected.
