Abstract
A method for processing seismic data. The method may include (1) receiving seismic data acquired by an iseismic sensor of a plurality of seismic sensors and (2) determining an ivalue to represent an ipower spectral density curve that corresponds to the seismic data. The method may then repeat steps (1)-(2) for each seismic sensor. The method may then include generating an expected value curve based on the ivalue for each power spectral density curve. The method may then compare each ivalue to the expected value curve and identify invalid seismic sensors based on the comparison. After identifying the invalid seismic sensors, the method may process the seismic data without seismic data acquired by the invalid seismic sensors to determine one or more locations of hydrocarbon deposits in subterranean geological formations.
