A method of generating target-oriented acquisition-imprint-free prestack angle gathers using common focus point (CFP) operators includes receiving a plurality of seismic traces associated with a target point in a reservoir. A first angle domain common image gather (ADCIG) is generated based on the received plurality of seismic traces. A plurality of synthetic traces associated with the target point is generated. A second ADCIG is generated based on the synthetic traces. An enhanced ADCIG is generated using the first ADCIG and the second ADCIG.

Seismic data obtained from a seismic survey conducted of a subterranean region is received. The seismic data includes multiple frequency components, having a frequency bandwidth. A target, to-be-picked horizon is identified by displaying well data on the seismic section and correlating the seismic reflector with layer tops in the well data. A horizon represents a seismic reflector between two geological layers in the subterranean region. A single frequency that gives rise to a predetermined continuity along the target horizon is determined from the frequency bandwidth of the seismic data. The seismic data is filtered to mono-frequency volumes. The mono-frequency seismic volumes include a single frequency component. A horizon is picked corresponding to the target horizon based on the mono-frequency volumes. The identified horizon corresponding to the target horizon is output for determining geological features of the subterranean region based on the identified horizon.

The signal processing apparatus includes a separating part that separates individual periodic signals having a period according to a periodicity of the vibration wave generated by the seismic source from the measured vibration signals, the calculating part that calculates the standard periodic signal from the separated individual periodic signals, and the generating part that subtracts the standard periodic signal from the measured vibration signals and generates differential signals.

The instant invention relates to a method for noise reduction from a magnetic resonance sounding (MRS) oscillating signal, and more particularly, to a data processing method for reducing random noise contained in MRS oscillating signal based on joint algorithm principles of EMD and TFPF. A MRS oscillating signal is decomposed into different eigen-mode components by using decomposition characteristic of EMD algorithm; then a signal-dominated eigen-mode component is encoded as an instantaneous frequency of an analytical signal of unit amplitude using TFPF algorithm; and random noise is suppressed with the characteristics that the time-frequency distribution of the analytical signal is concentrated along with the instantaneous frequency. The method requires fewer filtering constraints and is simple to operate without need of designing a filtering interval in the time-frequency domain, and has good adaptability to the MRS oscillating signal with a low signal-noise-ratio.
