ABSTRACT:
A method of processing an electromagnetic wavefield response in a seabed logging operation. The wavefield is resolved into upgoing and downgoing components. The downgoing component represents reflections from the sea surface while the upgoing component represents reflections and refractions from subterranean strata. The upgoing component is then subjected to analysis.
