Chapter 6 Figures

The document contains descriptions and diagrams of 8 figures related to seismic data analysis. Figure 6.1 shows synthetic shot gathers with different combinations of noise and statics. Figure 6.2 shows elevation statics in land and marine surveys. Figures 6.3-6.7 illustrate static correction methods, including the effect of elevation statics, uphole survey geometry, a real uphole survey example, and the ABC delay-time method.

o We have a dipping refractor DE with velocity V2 (that can be estimated from the T-X
curve of refracted arrival).
o The upper layer has a velocity V1 (that can be estimated from the T-X curve of direct
arrival).
o The points A and C represent coincident shot-receiver points on the ground surface.
o The geophone that we are trying to determine the depth to the refractor (HB) at is
located at point B.
o Dotted lines represent raypaths.
o The total distance between A and C is X, which is known.
o TAB represents the time from shot A to receiver B through the dotted raypath. It can
be calculated from the T-X curves.
o TCB represents the time from shot C to receiver B through the dotted raypath. It can
be calculated from the T-X curves.
o TAC = TCA represents the time from shot A to receiver C through the dotted raypath.
It can be calculated (or extrapolated) from the T-X curves.
o Define the quantity TABC = TAB + TBC - TAC .
