Patent ID: 11079511

Abstract:
A system for processing DAS VSP surveys is provided. The system includes a DAS data collection system coupled to at least one optical fiber at least partially positioned within a wellbore and configured to either activate or passively listen to a seismic source of energy for one or more times. The system further includes an information processing system connected to the DAS data collection system. A seismic dataset is received from the DAS data collection system recorded in a spatiotemporal domain. The seismic dataset is converted into intercept-time ray-parameter domain dataset. Local apparent slope is determined for each seismic signal in the received seismic dataset. Amplitude correction is performed for the received seismic signals by using the slowness profile and the determined local apparent slope in the intercept-time ray-parameter domain dataset. The corrected intercept-time ray-parameter domain dataset is converted back into the spatiotemporal domain.
