Abstract
A method for processing microseismic data, comprises: receiving the microseismic data acquired by one or more multicomponent sensors; convolving the microseismic data with an operator that is applied to all of the components of the microseismic data; and applying a multicomponent filter operator to the convolved microseismic data. The microseismic data may result from human activity or be entirely natural. The filtering preserves the polarity of the received data while improving the signal-to-noise ratio of the filtered data.
