Abstract
The presence of multiples on seismic data have obscured the recognition of primary reflection events of interest. Post-stack deconvolution was carried out using final-stacked seismic data. The predictive deconvolution technique is used for multiple suppression. The parameters were computed from autocorrelation functions and tested on different panels of the seismic sections. The Test include mainly the prediction distance and operator length to select the best parameters required to attenuate the existing multiples. The obtained sections were compared with the final sections before post-stack deconvolution was applied. The tested parameters gave very encouraging results by bringing out a distinctive reflector and suppressing multiples. Complete suppression of multiples is the desired result from the application of the selected deconvolution filter; however, multiples seem to exhibit a range of properties and so only those multiples which conform to the predicted assumptions were removed.
