Abstract

Seismic data processing plays a major role in providing reliable subsurface image affecting the interpretation and thereby influences the exploration strategy. In general the quality of seismic data recorded over fold belt areas is poor due to the subsurface complexities and poses a major challenge even to obtain reliable structural image. The design of processing sequence and optimization of parameters is aimed to enhance the structural and stratigraphic information. In the present work, an attempt was made to improve the subsurface image considering the utility of inverse Q-filtering as an alternative to deconvolution or spectral balancing during the post-stack processing.
