Abstract | We propose a workflow for matching and blending seismic images obtained from shallow high-resolution seismic surveys and conventional surveys. The workflow consists of three distinct steps: (a) balancing the amplitudes and frequency content of the two images by non-stationary smoothing of the high-resolution image; (b) estimating and removing variable time shifts between the two images; and (c) blending the two images together by least-squares inversion. The proposed workflow is applied successfully to images from the Gulf of Mexico. |
