Seismic Data Processing

GEOP 320 - Seismic Data Processing (2-3-3)

Objectives of seismic data processing, basic data processing sequence, Fourier transform, delta and sinc functions, convolution, correlation, wavelet phase, frequency filtering and aliasing, amplitude gain, deconvolution (spiking, optimum, predictive), velocity analysis (velocity spectrum, constant velocity stacks), static corrections (elevation, residual), NMO correction and stacking, migration (2D, 3D, poststack, prestack, time, depth, algorithms including Kirchhoff, finite difference, and FK. Students will apply basic data processing sequence on a real seismic data set using a seismic data processing package.

Pre-requisites: GEOP205 And GEOP215
