Abstract

Tripura area lies in the heart of the tertiary fold belt that extends from Surma valley in the north and Bangladesh in the south. This area experienced several cycles of uplift and erosion due to late tertiary tectonic movements. The sediments are mainly sandstone, siltstone and shales. Seismic data acquisition in fold belt area has always been a tough task. Processing of seismic data in a logistically difficult area is as difficult as acquiring the same. In the present paper efforts have been made to discuss the problems faced during seismic data acquisition and pitfalls of it, taken care during the data processing. In addition to this, the effect of using surface consistent methods and controlling the frequency contents of the data will be discussed.
