Method for absolute preserved amplitude processing of seismic well data

A method for absolute preserved amplitude processing of data obtained by seismic prospecting known as VSP. The method comprises reception, by seismic receivers (R) arranged in a well and coupled with the surrounding formations, of seismic waves generated by a source (S) and reaching directly the rec...

Zusammenfassung:A method for absolute preserved amplitude processing of data obtained by seismic prospecting known as VSP. The method comprises reception, by seismic receivers (R) arranged in a well and coupled with the surrounding formations, of seismic waves generated by a source (S) and reaching directly the receivers (direct or downgoing waves DW) or after reflections on discontinuities (D) (upgoing waves UW). The method has an application of precise measurement of the amplitudes of reflected and diffracted seismic events on monocomponent or tricomponent VSP data, in addition to conventional seismic wave propagation time and velocity measurements.
