SharpSeisDeghosting/Broadband Processing Software

SHARE

In typical marine seismic acquisition, a streamer towed on a given depth records not only an upgoing wavefield reflected from the subsurface, but also a downgoing field reflected from the sea surface and known as ghost wavefield. Destructive interference of the upgoing and the ghost wavefields creates a set of notch frequencies in the recorded spectrum, which results in limiting frequency band and decreasing resolution.

Algorithm specifications:

  • Applicable for conventional marine seismic acquisitions—does not require specific acquisition solutions
  • Efficient for different types of sources (airgun, sparker, boomer…)
  • Applicable for both 2D and 3D data
  • The algorithm is adaptive—can handle changing ghost time delays both in time and distance

The algorithm was presented at EAGE Near Surface Geoscience 2014—First Applied Shallow Marine Geophysics Conference by Vakulenko et al (2014).

SharpSeis Deghosting helps one to recover a broader frequency spectrum, resulting in improved seismic resolution and image clarity.
