  1. Attenuation of Diffracted Multiples Gabriel Alvarez Biondo Biondi Antoine Guitton Stanford University

  2. Goal Introduce a method to attenuate diffracted multiples on 2D data, based on an apex-shifted Radon transform. The method is applied in image space, in particular to Angle Domain Common Image Gathers (ADCIG). Alvarez-Biondi-Guitton

  3. Motivation Aperture angle Aperture angle Aperture angle -60 0 60 -60 0 60 -60 60 0 1000 Depth (m) 4000 ADCIG Multiples Primaries Alvarez-Biondi-Guitton

  6. A Note on Terminology Diffracted multiples: Multiples with apex-shifted residual moveout on ADCIGs migrated with primary velocity. Specularly-reflected multiples: Multiples whose residual moveout have their apex at zero aperture angle on ADCIGs migrated with primary velocity. Alvarez-Biondi-Guitton

  7. What about SRME? Can Surface-Related Multiple Elimination (SRME) attenuate the apex-shifted multiples? Yes, but SRME requires dense, regular, large-aperture acquisition which is not generally available with today’s 3D streamer geometries. An alternative: apex-shifted Radon transform of ADCIGs. Alvarez-Biondi-Guitton

  8. Aperture angle 0 Curvature (q) (γ) Primaries Depth Depth Multiple ADCIG Standard Radon Transform Alvarez-Biondi-Guitton

  9. Apex-shifted Radon Transform 0 q γ γa 0 Primaries S-R multiples multiples ADCIG z z’ Alvarez-Biondi-Guitton

  10. Separating Primaries and Multiples hγ 0 q 0 τ,z’ Zero out the primary region in the (z’,q,h) cube. Map the multiples back to the (z,γ) plane (ADCIG). Subtract the multiples from the original ADCIG to get the primaries. Alvarez-Biondi-Guitton

  11. Image space vs. data space In complex geology the primaries are more likely to be horizontal in ADCIGs than in NMO-corrected CMPs. However In data space the multiple moveout is more intuitive (predictable)and easy to visualize. Delaying the multiple removal after imaging may compromise the choice of the migration velocities for the primaries. Alvarez-Biondi-Guitton

  12. From model space to data space (ADCIGs): γ: aperture angle q: moveout curvature γa: apex-shift distance z, z’: depth Apex-shifted Radon Transform The transform is implemented as a least-squares inverse with a sparsity constraint. Alvarez-Biondi-Guitton

  28. Conclusions The apex-shifted Radon transform is an effective way to attenuate diffracted multiples in the image space. The usual trade-off between multiple attenuation and primary preservation remains. Alvarez-Biondi-Guitton

  29. Opportunities and challenges In 3D data, the apex-shift is a function of azimuth as well as aperture angle. We will takeadvantage of the development of 3D ADCIGs. The challenge is to handle the increased dimensionality of the problem. Alvarez-Biondi-Guitton
