Abstract
A method for processing three-dimensional seismic data is provided. The seismic data is at least partially the result of receiving a seismic wave with a seismic receiver. At least a portion of the seismic wave is generated by a seismic source. The source and receiver are both horizontally offset and vertically offset. The method comprises binning at least a portion of the seismic data in common reflection point bins. The method comprises sorting the seismic data within the bin to create common reflection point gathers. The method further comprises analyzing velocity, and applying surface consistent statics corrections to at least a portion of the seismic data within said common reflection point gathers. The method also comprises applying a non-hyperbolic normal moveout equation to at least a portion of said seismic data, and stacking at least a portion of said seismic data within said common reflection point gathers.
