| Summary: | We present a relatively straightforward methodology for extending seismic bandwidth and hence enhancing the seismic resolution by performing time-variant deconvolution. We use the generalized S-transform (GST) approach in order to properly compute the time-frequency components of the seismic reflection trace. In estimating the time-variant wavelet, we propose a spectral modeling method named multi-Ricker spectral approximation (MRA). After obtaining the estimated wavelet spectrum at each time sample, a deconvolution filter can then be built and applied in the S-transform domain. This proposed time-variant seismic enhancement method needs neither information on the subsurface attenuation model nor the assumption that the subsurface reflectivity is random. It is a data-driven methodology that is based on the seismic data only. We validate this proposed method on a synthetic and apply it to field data. Results show that, after enhancement, overall seismic bandwidth can be extended resulting in higher vertical resolution. Correlation with VSP corridor stack at well location ensures that the generated reflection details after enhancement is geologically plausible. |
