Paper Summary
Removal of multiples from seismic reflection data is an essential pre-processing step before seismic imaging in many marine environments. Surface-Related Multiple Elimination (SRME) has proven to be a valuable tool to remove multiples that have been generated by the free-surface. This paper discusses the application of SRME where, instead of free-surface multiples, multiples generated by internal surfaces are removed. Particular attention is paid to the implementation issues. The proposed implementation requires limited user-interaction, and is comparable in performance and speed to ‘standard’ SRME. Application to a data set from the North Sea leads to satisfactory results.
