Adaptive non-dispersive and direction-dependent attenuation of artifacts in seismic wave propagation

Abstract

Examples of methods and systems are disclosed. The methods may include obtaining seismic data associated with a subsurface region of interest, wherein the seismic data comprises a plurality of time-space waveforms. The methods may also include determining a plurality of mechanical parameters corresponding to a formation of the subsurface region based, at least in part, on the plurality of time-space waveforms. The methods may further include generating a filtering region based on an artifact identified in the plurality of time-space waveforms. The methods may still further include determining a plurality of attenuation parameters based, at least in part, on the filtering region, the attenuation parameters being configured to attenuate the artifact. The methods may further include filtering the time-space waveforms to generate a plurality of filtered time-space waveforms. The method may still further include generating a seismic image of the subsurface region using the plurality of filtered time-space waveforms.
