oa Advances in Interbed Multiples Prediction and Attenuation: Case Study from Onshore Kuwait

Multiples contamination both surface and interbed related is a problem in almost all Middle East basins. The high acoustic impedance of carbonates and anhydrites layered with clastics is the major generator of these interbed multiples. These types of multiples are known to hinder the interpretation, fracture characterization, and inversion studies; they significantly complicate both the structural and stratigraphic interpretation within the zone of interest at the Cretaceous level as well as at the frontier Jurassic and Permian sections.
