Selecting offset as a function of time and velocity to stack seismograms with high signal to noise ratio
Patent
·
OSTI ID:5970472
In seismic exploration a method for improving seismogram displays is disclosed wherein seismograms having an offset which produces poor signal power are muted and seismograms having offsets with high signal power are stacked. The signal power in a CDP set is determined as a function of different values of assumed acoustic velocity of the earth. This signal detection is repeated for successive values of travel time and offset. The maximum signal power is plotted for values of velocity as a function of travel time and for different ranges of offset to form contours of the maximum signal power as a function of time and offset.
