2. Primary Demultiple Approaches
• Deconvolution
– multiple considered as reverberation
– Tau-P, shot and receiver location ensemble etc.
• RADON demultiple (PRT_DEMULT)
– Velocity discrimination (parabolic approximation)
– Use primary or multiple model (reject down or flat dips)
– High resolution mode via Harlan transform
• Flattening on Offset Planes
– Digitise seafloor (and/or peg-leg generator)
– Flatten multiple via static shits and remove flat events
• SRME and subtraction
– Two good subtraction routines (MONK/WANG)
– Limitations on long offset and deep water
– Flatten multiple via static shits and remove flat events

3. RADON Anti-Multiple : theory
Primary
Multiple
300ms far offset
moveout, measured via
ruler (RMB click)
• Data summed along parabolas
• Defined by far offset moveout (FOM) in ms
• This example : 90% NMO applied
• Multiples +ve P-values
• Primaries -ve P-Values
• Data outside of the Radon transform range is retained
• Define a modelled range (in FOM) and a noise range to remove
• “Cross” shape in Radon-space focussed to a point by Harlan mode

6. Flattening on Offset Planes Example
Strong shallow multiple Digitise multiple Apply an FK filter Remove all shifts
Water-velocity FK Shift data down by 1000ms Reject +/- 0.5ms per trace
applied Shift data up by multiple time Applied from 950-1050ms
Multiple flat at 1000ms
• Only effective where multiple crosses primaries
• Can apply again for the second bounce
• Can apply pre-stack – use FLATTEN on offset planes

7. SRME Example
• Model created by cross correlating
shot and receiver gathers (SRME)
Original Shot Modelled multiple Subtracted result • Data needs to be extended to zero
offset (OFFREG)
• Shot and receiver spacing needs to
be the same (OFFREG, SHOTINT)
• Should not process incoming data at
all – except perhaps mute and filter
• Only models reflections, not
refractions
• Theoretically needs full fold shot and
receiver gathers to be most effective
• In deep water, limiting the shot and
receiver domain offsets can be
beneficial
• Use adaptive subtraction to remove
the multiple (WANGSUBT,
MONKSUBT or combinations of these)
• Complex workflow, consider simple
multiple modelling (MULMOD)
