ABSTRACT:
A computer-implemented method and system of correcting seismic survey data for the effects of NMO stretch is disclosed. The method operates upon a CDP gather of seismic survey data after normal move-out correction (NMO) has been applied. A semblance analysis is used to derive a stretch coefficient .kappa. profile over the gather, as a function of time and offset. The values of the stretch coefficient profile .kappa. are used in producing a time-varying filter that is applied, preferably by way of a time-domain multiplication, to incremental windows in time for each trace, with the products added to one another to generate a corrected trace. After all of the traces in the gather are corrected, an event-weighted filter is applied to the traces by way of a correlation operation, to remove high-frequency artifacts in the corrected traces. The corrected and filtered traces are then ready for stacking and conventional processing.
