ABSTRACT:
Coherency analysis, such as semblance scan or stacking amplitude, is used to locate diffractors. This is done utilizing traces of a recorded 3-D marine survey with one or more cables. Locations of each diffractor are determined by comparing the lateral coherency of the received amplitudes that each assumed diffractor position generates. Once the diffractors are located, noise energy originating from the diffractors is minimized.
