Systems and methods for multi-volume directional de-noising
Systems and methods are provided for directional de-noising on seismic data recorded byseismic receivers. A method includes: receiving a seismic dataset, wherein the seismic dataset includes a model dataset and an input dataset to filter; decomposing the model dataset into a plurality of model directions, identifying which of the model directions to keep; and mapping the input dataset along the identified model directions resulting in a filtered output.
Noise attenuation
Noise can be attenuated in marine seismic data from a marine seismic survey. A first near-continuous measurement of a wavefield and a second near-continuous measurement of the wavefield recorded from a marine seismic survey can be equalized, a coherent portion of the equalized second near-continuous measurement can be collapsed, and a noise model can be derived. The noise model can be subtracted from the second near-continuous measurement.
OFFSHORE RESERVOIR MONITORING SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ITS OPERATION
An offshore reservoir monitoring system (100) comprises a vertical array (110) with multiple seismic receivers (120) less than 10 m apart. During operation, the vertical array is deployed in a shallow borehole (111) in a seabed (10) away from noise at a seafloor (11). The dense spacing of receivers (120) ensures an adequate number of sensors (120) in the shallow borehole (111) and a spatial sampling rate appropriate for suppressing coherent noise in the shallow layers under the seafloor (11). Vertical arrays (110) can be added to the system (100) at any time.

Sensor receiver nulls and null steering. One example embodiment is method in which a direction from a sensor position to a noise source is determined.

A noise reduction measurement method of acoustic while drilling data based on signal synchronization is provided. The method performs pre-downsampling before effective excitation of a low-frequency impulse pump, then extracts center frequency and phase information of noise of the low-frequency impulse pump by fast Fourier transform, and adjusts the excitation and sampling time of the acoustic signal according to the center frequency and phase information of the noise of the low-frequency impulse pump. Accordingly, the coincidence of the acoustic signal excited by the acoustic instrument and the acoustic signal generated by operation excitation of the pulser can be actively avoided, and the signal-to-noise ratio of the received signal of the acoustic instrument can be effectively improved.
