Processing seismic data consists of applying a sequence of computer
programs, each designed to achieve one step along the path from field tape to
record section. Programs are usually used in a processing sequence, and these
are selected from a library of several hundred programs. Each company’s library
is unique, although many programs will be almost identical to those of another
company.
An overview of the best practices and the most recent seismic 2D and 3D seismic processing sequences used onshore and offshore will be provided. The participants will then learn the theoretical biases of the most important terms of seismic processing: the Fourier transform, time and frequency domain, convolution, cross and auto-correlations. The participants will then learn how to build an optimum processing sequence, in order to obtain the best data quality using the latest techniques. The mathematics of seismic data processing will be followed by the fundamentals of seismic data processing.
