    Amplitude Corrections

    Uploaded by

    This document discusses methods for equalizing amplitude variations in 3D seismic survey data acquired with dual sources. It describes: 1) Analyzing the amplitude and frequency spectra of shots from each source to see they vary considerably, with one source consistently stronger. 2) Performing signature deconvolution separately for each source to match them to a common wavelet, significantly reducing amplitude and frequency discrepancies between sources. 3) Applying surface consistent scaling to model and remove amplitude variations due to different acquisition factors like channel, shot, gun, cable, and line.

    Source Amplitude Solution

    3D survey, dual source


    Early QC checks
    compute RMS amplitude statistics for each sail line
    compute RMS amplitude statistics on shot and channel basis
    analyse frequency spectra of selected shots
    Amplitude of the two sources seen to vary considerably across the survey
    One source consistently stronger than the other
    Differences in frequency content apparent between the two sources
    Signature Deconvolution
    Source wavelet matched to a user-defined wavelet
    Deconvolution performed separately for each gun and matched to a
    common wavelet
    No need to determine which gun has correct spectrum
    Deconvolution filters derived for each shot from running average across
    50 field records at a time
    Deconvolution filters applied on shot-by-shot basis
    Amplitude and frequency discrepancy between sources is significantly reduced by
    the application of signature deconvolution
    Equalisation of the amplitudes is clearly visible on RMS displays, shot plots and
    near traces
    Survey-wide variation in source amplitude is eliminated
    Surface Consistent Scaling

    Amplitude variations will exist within data volumes on many levels


    Channel, shot, gun, cable, line, receiver etc

    The measured amplitude responses in the data are modelled using a series of such
    terms (also including CMP & offset terms)
    The model is estimated in a least squares sense, with the terms being computed
    iteratively in a user specified order.
    Corrections can be computed on individual lines or on a number of lines
    simultaneously.
    Line to Line Corrections (Common Offsets)
    Line to line amplitude variations can be effectively & safely removed after fold
    normalisation.
    Amplitudes extracted on common time slices for each common offset.
    Median amplitude responses analysed and corrections applied to correct raw
    amplitudes to these median values.
    Time dependent scalars (ie filtering can be easily controlled if necessary
    through target horizons)
