The Cuu Long Basin is characterized by a number of complex features, including shallow reefs, channels, thin coal layers, and fractured basement that cause strong and rapid velocity and acoustic impedance changes. This results in the occurrence of surface-related and interbed multiples. Moreover, the operational limitations of marine acquisition, such as the lack of near-offset recording and wide streamer towing, pose challenges for predicting surface and internal multiples.
In this paper, we show data- and deterministic-driven wave-equation-based workflow focused on an effective prediction and attenuation of surface and internal multiples present in the field data. Our method shows improved image response with reduced crosstalk due to multiples, expanding the data bandwidth and signal-to-noise ratio, revealing relevant features directly associated with better extraction of attributes at the target zone.
