ABSTRACT:
A method for recording and pre-processing high fidelity vibratory seismic data includes the steps of measuring the motion of the vibrator which is related to the vibrator applied force times a transfer function of minimum phase, causal, linear system relating the actual vibrator output with the measured vibrator motion, separation of signals according to generating source, determining a ratio by dividing the vibratory seismic data by the measured motion of the vibrator to remove the unknown applied force leaving the earth reflectivity times a time derivative divided by a minimum phase function, minimum phase band pass filtering the resulting ratio and performing minimum phase deconvolution to remove the time derivative divided by the transfer function of minimum phase. The method may also include shot ensemble deconvolution, receiver ensemble deconvolution, statics correction, F-K filtering for noise, zero phase spiking deconvolution and model dephasing. A signal directly proportional to the actual signal that the vibrator is sending into the ground is used in pre-processing. The vibrator motion is measured to provide a signal that is used to process the data. The data is divided by the relative of the actual transmitted signal in frequency domain.
