Patent ID: 7222023

Claim:
A method of processing raw seismic data traces obtained during a seismic survey to match a seismic event in a first set of raw seismic data traces with a seismic event in a second set of raw seismic data traces, the method comprising: a) identifying a value of a first parameter associated with a seismic event in a first set of raw seismic data traces; b) obtaining, using at least one look-up table, a value of a second parameter, the second parameter being associated with a corresponding seismic event in a second set of raw seismic data traces; and, c) using the values of the first and second parameters to match the seismic event in the first set of raw seismic data traces with the seismic event in the second set of raw seismic data traces and thus provide knowledge of one or more subterranean geological structures.
