Abstract:The idea for application of seismic attributes in residual static correction is from picking-up residual moveout.Firstly the seismic attributes of the seismic gathers and stacked seismic data which were used in correlation were extracted (extracting simultaneous phase,amplitude envelope and so on),then the residual moveout were picked up.Based on the problems existing in routine automatic residual static correction,the method of application of seismic attributes in residual static correction was discussed in this paper,and the effects was illustrated by using real examples.The field data studies results show the following:(1) After field static correction and 1st velocity analysis,long-wavelength correction problem got resolved,while the continuity for seismic events is still not great and problem for residual static correction still exists.(2) After conducting routine automatic residual static correction,the data SNR (Signal to Noise Ratio) was obviously improved,but after 2nd and 3rd residual static correction iteration,no improvement was seen.(3) After applying the static values which were estimated from application of seismic attributes in residual static correction to the seismic data,the Signal to Noise Ratio of the seismic sections were greatly improved,moreover the details and whole appearance of the seismic sections were much clearer and sharper,as a result it can be concluded in this paper that the method of application of seismic attributes in residual static correction is feasible and applicable.
