Apparent Attenuation from Short-Period Multiples and Instrinsic Absorption in the Seismic Wavelet Model

P077 APPARENT ATTENUATION FROM SHORT- PERIOD MULTIPLES AND INSTRINSIC ABSORPTION IN THE SEISMIC WAVELET MODEL Abstract 1 A. MATEEVA 1 DOUGLAS HART 2 and SCOTT MACKAY 3 1 Colorado School of Mines Center for Wave Phenomena Golden CO 80401 U.S.A For the purposes of predictive deconvolution one assumes that the seismic trace results from the convolution of a reflectivity series with a wavelet. A fundamental component of the seismic wavelet model is the intrinsic absorption of the earth that causes loss of high frequencies to anelastic processes during propagation. Another potentially important component of the wavelet model is the apparent
