An Optimized Workflow for Coherent Noise Attenuation in Time-lapse Processing

In the time-lapse processing paradigm, a method has recently been proposed to simultaneously adapt multiple models in such a way that 4D differences are optimized (Zabihi et al., 2012). We build on this idea in developing a seismic processing workflow which is optimized for 4D signal enhancement in a more generalized manner, at a lower cost and with minimal impact on turnaround. The workflow is tested on real data with significant improvements in the final 4D product.
