ABSTRACT:
Method of restoring null traces in seismic records. The seismic record is transformed from the x-t domain to the f-k domain by a series of fast Fourier transforms. The f-k transform of the seismic record is filtered to retain only coherent events and the filtered f-k transform is inverse-transformed back to the x-t domain. A first determination of the restored trace corresponding to the null trace is selected and substituted for the null trace. The first determination of the restored trace is used to determine a fully restored trace.
