Predictive Scattered Noise Removal

D027 PREDICTIVE SCATTERED NOISE REMOVAL Abstract GÉRARD C. HERMAN 1 and COLIN PERKINS 2 1 Shell International E & P BV Rijswijk The Netherlands; Delft University of Technology Subfaculty of Applied Mathematics Delft The Netherlands 2 Shell International E & P BV Rijswijk The Netherlands We discuss a deterministic technique to predict and remove scattered coherent noise from land data. It is based on a mathematical model of near-surface wave propagation. The method is tested on a unique data set recorded by Petroleum Development of Oman (PDO) in the Qarn Alam area (with shots and receivers on the same 25
