Abstract

The ultimate goal of seismic exploration is to generate accurate images of the subsurface to identify the hydrocarbon bearing structure. Seismic data processing plays an important role in achieving this goal. One of the key problems in seismic data processing is to attenuate multiple reflections from seismic data. Different approaches have been investigated and applied to the multiple attenuation problem including the industry-standard Radon transformation, which has attracted the attention of explorationists during the last two decades. Here we attempt to apply the radon filter on a seismic data set in the western Indian margin with a view to improve the seismic image. Comparison of seismic sections produced with and without radon filter shows a significant improvement in subsurface image using the radon filter for both the shallow and deeper parts of the section
