Enhancing the Value of Legacy Single Channel Seismic Data for Marine Site Characterisation via UUHR Processing

Single channel seismic data is routinely and cost effectively acquired during initial marine site characterisation for offshore windfarm development. This data is often/typically subject to a basic seismic processing flow. Our premise is that with the application of an advanced seismic (re-)processing flow, this data can yield high resolution sub surface data that can inform early indications of subsurface geology relevant to ground model considerations.

An alternative source of seismic data suitable for enhancement via advanced seismic reprocessing exists in multiple readily accessible archives, for example our employer has an archive database populated with multiple examples of single channel data acquired in Australian waters over the past 20 years. Other companies & government bodies also have such databases. These offer a very cost effective source of data for initial site characterisation / desk top studies.
