ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides methods for processing seismic data which include performing normal moveout velocity analysis in such a manner as to include the effects of the offset dependence of reflection amplitude and simultaneously determining from the seismic data the moveout velocity and the variation of reflection amplitude with offset.
