Field Data Examples

We test VD-seislet denoising by employing a field land data provided by Geofizyka Torun Sp. Z.o.o, Poland from FreeUSP website% latex2html id marker 2666
\setcounter{footnote}{2}\fnsymbol{footnote}. Figure 9a show the CMP gathers after removing most of ground roll. The strong random noise makes reflection events hardly visible. However, velocity analysis from equation 6 can still produce a reasonable velocity field. Equation 7 converts RMS velocity to seismic pattern (Figure 9b), which displays the hyperbolic slopes from negative to positive in CMP gathers and varying slopes in common-offset section. VD-seislet transform utilizes the slopes to compress reflections along offset axis. Figure 9c shows the VD-seislet coefficients, in which the small dynamic range of seislet coefficients implies a good compression ratio. If we choose the significant coefficients at the coarse scale, e.g., scale $<$ 8, and zero out difference coefficients at the finer scales, the inverse transform effectively removes incoherent noise from the gathers (Figure 9d).

Next, we test the proposed algorithm to separate multi-wavefields on a single CMP gather from the Viking Graben (Mobil AVO) dataset (Keys and Foster, 1998). The field data are shown in Figure 10a. We pick the primary velocities by muting spectra energy of multiples. Multiple RMS velocities with different orders (equation 9) follow the pseudo-primary NMO equation 8. The velocity spectra of primaries and multiples are shown in Figure 10b. Equations 7 and 10 convert velocities to slopes, which help the VD-seislet frame separate primaries from different-order pegleg multiples (we only display three orders). Figure 11 displays the separated primaries and different-order multiples. The corresponding velocity spectra are shown in Figure 12. After separating different wavefields, the velocity spectra confirm that the signals get concentrated around their respective trends.
