Abstract

Received shot gathers are sorted to a common receiver gather. A target three-dimensional (3D) amplitude spectrum of seismic wavefield direct arrivals is computed from synthetic data. A 3D amplitude spectrum of seismic wavefield direct arrivals in field data is computed for each receiver. A matched filter is calculated from the 3D amplitude spectrum of field data to target response and applied to downgoing seismic wavefields separated from the common receiver gather to generate filtered downgoing seismic wavefields. Time-dependent smoothing of the filtered downgoing seismic wavefields is performed to generate smoothed downgoing seismic wavefields. A cross-correlation is calculated between upgoing seismic wavefields separated from the common receiver gather and the smoothed downgoing seismic wavefields.
