Abstract
Methods and systems for estimating converted-wave statics are disclosed. The methods include obtaining a multicomponent seismic dataset for a subterranean region, determining an array of PP-source statics and an array of PP-receiver statics for the PP-seismic dataset, generating a PP-receiver stack based on the PP-seismic dataset, the array of PP-source statics, and the array of PP-receiver statics, and generating a PS-receiver stack based on the PS-seismic dataset and the array of PP-source statics. The methods also include identifying a PP-target event on the PP-receiver stack, forming a space-time window of the PS-receiver stack guided by the PP-target event, determining an objective function, and determining an array of PS-receiver statics based on an extremum of the objective function. The methods further include forming a statics-corrected PS-seismic dataset based on the array of PS-receiver statics and the array of PP-source statics, and forming a seismic image based on the statics-corrected PS-seismic dataset.
