ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a seismic surveying and data processing method to filter from seismic data any energy contributions that are not in the seismic line of profile. The surveying method requires a receiver geometry wherein at least one receiver is in and at least one receiver is out of the line of profile, so that in common offset gather or shot record plots, seismic events along the line of profile are aligned in time and out-of-plane energy takes the form of a series of sawtoothed seismic events arriving at different times in the different lines of receivers. Knowing the number of out-of-plane energies and their respective dips allows for the design of a filter, which is applied to the data with a computer, to null and thereby remove the effects of unwanted out-of-plane energy from the seismic survey data.
