Multi-Gate Predictive Deconvolution For The Restoration Of Primary Reflections

In this paper, the effectiveness and successful application<br>of multi-gate predictive deconvolution filters is<br>demonstrated on both a synthetic and a field dataset.<br>Some illustrations are shown on the identification and<br>estimation of multiples and their effective removal from<br>seismic marine data over very shallow water<br>environments. The application of multi-gate predictive<br>deconvolution filters appears to be very effective in areas<br>where other methodologies of multiple suppression,<br>(which are mainly based on long multiple periods) will be<br>difficult to apply and have less success of multiple<br>attenuation.
