| Summary |
Using numerous illustrations and real data examples of seismic processing topics, this introductory text reveals the limitations and potential pitfalls of seismic data, prepares both seismic interpreters and acquisition specialists for working with seismic processing geophysicists, explains processing operations as a series of solutions to problems, and demonstrates the dependence of a final interpretable seismic volume on its many processing decisions. Although seismic processing is inherently mathematical, this text resorts to an algebra-based argument only on rare occasions. By starting with migration in the first volume and concluding with deconvolution in the second volume, this text presents seismic processing topics in a reversed order compared to a customary processing sequence and provides a foundation for understanding the vigorous and fascinating field of seismic processing. The reader will examine input requirements for algorithms and then be equipped to understand the processing flow algorithms themselves |
