ABSTRACT

We review a processing sequence for data conditioning and predicting surface and internal multiples that was applied with success on Kuwaiti datasets and, in particular, is favored for conditioning the data prior to amplitude variation with azimuth inversions and fracture characterization.

We report on enhancements to this processing sequence evaluated by testing on a pilot dataset. Our tests suggest that improved preprocessing (geometry regularization and near-offsets reconstruction) and more flexible parametrizations of the generators of multiples, with particular attention to multiples generated in the near surface, can have a significant contribution to improved results from multiple attenuation.
