Adaptive deconvolution: a new technique for processing time-varying seismic data

Conference · · Geophysics; (United States)
OSTI ID:5828533

A time-varying deconvolution method was developed which is based upon adaptive linear filtering techniques. This adaptive deconvolution is applicable for use in processing reflection seismic data which contain multiples with periods that vary with travel time. Filter coefficients are designed for each sample of the input trace using an adaptive algorithm. Convergence properties of the adaptive processor are discussed and compared to conventional deconvolution techniques. The adaptive deconvolution method is illustrated using both synthetic and field reflection seismic data. By proper selection of parameters and by processing the data in both time-reverse and time-forward directions, adaptive deconvolution removes multiples with varying periods while leaving primary reflections relatively undistorted. 22 figures.
