Zusammenfassung:The present disclosure generally relates to a computer-implemented method for determining intrinsic attenuation in a region of a subsurface. The method generally includes obtaining seismic data around the region of the subsurface; processing the seismic data to obtain a reflectivity spectrum in the region of the subsurface; fitting the reflectivity spectrum to analytic formulas as a function of frequency; and determining the intrinsic attenuation in the region of the subsurface based on the fitting. Other aspects of the present disclosure relate to a computer-implemented method for determining the thickness of a thin subsurface bed at a horizon of interest.
