Method for enhancement of the signal-to-noise ratio in seismic reflection signals

Patent ·
OSTI ID:5551338
In seismic exploration, seismic reflection signals are obtained along a line of exploration. These seismic reflection signals are time shifted to correct for moveout caused by horizontal dipping and diffraction subsurface events. These connected signals are stacked with a dip independent velocity parameter to provide a zero source-to-receiver seismic record section enhanced in signal-to-noise ratio.
