SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
The quality of the seismic data is essential to quantitative reservoir characterization of rock properties and geological structure interpretation. Although marine multi-component seismic data hold a wealth of information about both compressional and shear velocities, the acquisition suffers from high levels of noise, which make the processing a challenging task and drastically decreases optimal value extraction. This dissertation employs a four component (4C) processing workflow via advanced time-frequency-wavenumber filtering and polarization methods to improve data quality for further interpretation and reservoir characterization.
