GEOP 320 Spring 2012 Lab Assignment # 1 Preprocessing


(Due date: 12/3/2012) Objective The objective of this lab assignment is to get you acquainted with the processing software (Seismic Unix) and preprocess the dataset. Introduction Preprocessing involves the following steps: (1) Demultiplexing. (2) Reformatting. (3) Editing. (4) Gain application. (5) Setup of field geometry. (6) Application of field statics. Information from the Operator Report data2012.sgy (#traces=1299, sampling interval=2 ms, #samples/trace=1501, receiver spacing=220 ft) Exercises 1. Observing the specific parameters of your data set: a) Follow the steps in tutorial 3.1 of the Manual. b) Generate 3 plots similar to the ones in the tutorial. c) Answer the following questions: i. Does the AGC or tm method produce better results? Which one should you normally use? ii. Save the best-gained dataset as data2012-gain.su and indicate the following events: a. A direct arrival b. A reflection c. A ground roll There are bad traces in your data set. a) Use the sukill command to zero the bad traces and save the new dataset as data2012-gain-edit.su. b) Generate plots that show the edited parts of the data before and after editing. c) Answer the following questions: i. How many traces did you kill? ii. Why? iii. How many live traces are left in your data?

Observing the specific parameters of your data set: a) Follow the steps in tutorial 3.2 of the Manual to filter the ground rolls and save your filtered data set as data2012-gain-edit-flt.su. b) Generate 3 plots similar to the ones in the tutorial. c) Answer the following questions: i. What is the frequency range of the ground roll in your data? ii. What is the frequency range of the high-frequency noise in your data? iii. What is the frequency range of the signal in your data? iv. What is the frequency filter that you used to filter out the ground roll? Justify your answer. v. Did your filter remove most of the noise? If not, why?
