ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a time-lapse or 4-D seismic data processing method in which cross-correlation of trace information in a series of time-lapse seismic images is used to distinguish one source of noise from another source of noise. After a source of noise has been identified, an appropriate filter is constructed to provide a correction to the noise produced by this particular source of noise. The data from one of the time-lapse seismic images is then applied to the filter to produce a corrected image. Differences between the corrected image and an uncorrected image are then used to determine time-lapse changes in the underlying geological structure. By being able to provide filters specifically tailored to correct each of the different types of noise present in a series of time-lapse seismic images, an accurate image of the time-lapse changes in the underlying geological structure is attained.
