Abstract
A computer-implemented method for generating missing frequencies within geophysical data, said method including: decomposing, with a computer, geophysical data into frequencies and slowness or wavenumber along time and one or more spatial dimensions; estimating, with a computer, a filter across known frequencies within the geophysical data for each time, spatial dimension, and slowness or wavenumber sample; extrapolating or interpolating, with a computer, the missing frequencies from the known frequencies by applying the filter; recomposing, with a computer, the known frequencies and the missing frequencies back into time and the one or more spatial dimensions; and prospecting for hydrocarbons with geophysical data that includes the missing frequencies.
