Multiple Prediction and Subtraction – An SRME and IME Case History

B-44 MULTIPLE PREDICTION AND SUBTRACTION – AN SRME AND IME CASE HISTORY Summary 1 Surface-related multiple elimination (SRME) and internal multiple elimination (IME) were applied to a 2D line extracted from a marine 3D dataset. Results were compared with those obtained from parabolic Radon filtering. Owing to the complex 3D geological environment the multiples’ indistinct nature their uncertain origin and the relatively poor dip contrast with the primary reflections it has proven to be a challenge to judge the accuracy of the predicted multiples and in particular the effectiveness of the adaptive subtraction of the multiples predicted through SRME and
