ABSTRACT:
A method for eliminating the influence of multiple reflections in seismic data by determining an up going and down going vector wave-field from the vector wave-field, determining a product of the free surface reflection coefficient and the down going vector wavefield, and adding the product to the up going vector wave-field. Also provided is a method for eliminating the effects of receiver coupling from seismic data taken in a survey by describing a first cross-equalization filter as a function of the reverberation period, describing a second cross-equalization filter as a function of the seismic data, describing an inverse coupling filter as a function of the first cross-equalization filter and the second-equalization filter, and applying the coupling filter to the seismic data.
