An Improved Mp-Nmo Correction Method Based On Multiparameter Fitting And Its Application, YANG Xiaohui, YU Pengfei, ZHANG Jiawei 2025 SINOPEC Geophysical Research Institute Company Limited, Nanjing 211103, China

An Improved Mp-Nmo Correction Method Based On Multiparameter Fitting And Its Application, Yang Xiaohui, Yu Pengfei, Zhang Jiawei

Coal Geology & Exploration

Objective and Methods Normal moveout (NMO) correction is a core step in seismic data processing. However, the conventional NMO correction method tends to cause wavelet stretching when processing wide-angle or large-offset seismic data, leading to degraded stacking quality and distorted amplitude variation with offset (AVO) attributes. Although the matching pursuit (MP)-NMO correction method can mitigate the stretching effect, it will cause lateral discontinuity due to overlapping seismic events. Therefore, this study developed an improved MP-NMO correction method based on multiparameter fitting. Specifically, during MP decomposition, cubic polynomial fitting was applied to the amplitude, frequencies, and phases of wavelets from the …

A Seismic Random Noise Suppression Method Based On Cnn-Mamba, WEI Xiujuan, LIU Xingye, ZHOU Huailai 2025 School of Geophysics, Chengdu University of Technology, Chengdu 610059, China

A Seismic Random Noise Suppression Method Based On Cnn-Mamba, Wei Xiujuan, Liu Xingye, Zhou Huailai

Coal Geology & Exploration

Background Seismic random noise suppression is recognized as a key step to improve the quality of seismic data. Data-driven deep learning provides an intelligent solution for the noise suppression. However, mainstream random noise intelligent methods based on convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are constrained by their local receptive fields. This limitation results in insufficient collaborative optimization between local details and macroscopic structures during denoising, further reducing the noise suppression accuracy. Transformer models, which are widely applied to global feature extraction, can effectively capture long-distance dependencies through the self-attention mechanism, theoretically overcoming the limitations of CNNs in global modeling. However, these models …
