Abstract

Existing methods of internal multiple prediction are either computationally expensive or not automated. Here, based on stationary phase arguments, we introduce a method for predicting internal multiples that is not only fully automated but also computationally inexpensive. The procedure is completely data driven and requires no velocity information or reflector identification. An additional advantage of the proposed method is that it can also be used to predict source- and receiver-ghosts. The method, however, is limited to gently-dipping reflectors. Through synthetic examples and field data, we demonstrate the effectiveness of our methodology.
