Application of 3D Interbed Multiple Attenuation in the Santos Basin, Brazil

Imaging of pre-salt reservoirs in the Santos Basin can be significantly affected by the presence of strong interbed multiples in the data. These multiples can be predicted using a data-driven, true azimuth convolution method similar to surface-related multiple elimination (SRME), and removed using a suitably constrained subtraction technique. We discuss the application of this method to Santos Basin data, and present results on 2D synthetic data and 3D real data.
