Abstract

 
Marine seismic data are usually embedded with surface-related multiples energy, which are troublesome in imaging an accurate seismic cross-section. In this paper, surface-related multiple elimination (SRME) technique is introduced and applied for attenuating surface-related multiples energy in 2D seismic data from Matruh Canyon.
Surface-related multiple elimination (SRME) is an algorithm that predicts all surface multiples by a convolutional process applied with minimal preprocessing. Once multiples are predicted, the multiples are removed from the data by adaptive subtraction.
SRME is a simple and effective technique that gives satisfactory results and great enhance the seismic data by removing multiples without effect on the primaries and no need for the subsurface model.
