Abstract

Summary

We present an approach for water-layer multiple attenuation using up-going and down-going wavefields available from pre-migration deghosting of variable-depth streamer data. After extrapolation of the separated wavefields to the seabed, the down-going wavefield is used as a multiple model which is adaptively subtracted from the up-going wavefield. The water-layer related multiples removed by this procedure are forward propagated to the variable-depth streamer datum where they are finally subtracted from the deghosted data. We illustrate the concept using a synthetic example and shows results from a variable-depth streamer dataset acquired in the North Sea.
