초록

해양 탄성파 탐사를 통해 취득한 자료에는 지하 매질에서 반사되어 오는 신호뿐만 아니라 해수면에서 되반사되어 발생하는 고스트가 존재한다. 고스트는 특정 주파수 성분을 약화시켜 탄성파 자료의 시간 해상도를 저하시킨다. 고스트를 효과적으로 제거하기 위해서는 정확한 고스트의 지연시간과 해수면의 반사계수가 요구된다. 고스트 지연시간은 해수면의 상하 움직임, 에어건과 스트리머의 움직임 및 벌림(offset) 거리 등에 의해 변하며, 해수면의 반사계수도 주파수, 평면파의 입사각 그리고 해상 상태에 따라 변한다. 이러한 영향을 고려한 고스트 지연시간을 추정하기 위하여 이 연구에서는 고스트 제거 트레이스 및 이의 자기상관 자료의 L-1 norm, L-2 norm 그리고 첨도(kurtosis)를 비교하였다. 자기상관자료의 L-1 norm을 계산하여 고스트 지연시간을 추정하는 것이 오차가 가장 적게 발생하였다. 현장자료의 파고를 고려하고 키르히호프 근사식을 이용하여 해수면의 반사계수를 계산하여 음원 및 수신기 고스트 제거에 적용하였다. 고스트를 제거함으로써 약화된 주파수 성분을 복원하였으며 시간 해상도가 향상된 구조보정 단면을 얻었다.

Marine seismic data have not only primary signals from subsurface but also ghost signals reflected from the sea surface. The ghost decreases temporal resolution of seismic data because it attenuates specific frequency components. For eliminating the ghost signals effectively, the exact ghost delaytimes and reflection coefficients are required. Because of undulation of the sea surface and vertical movements of airguns and streamers, the ghost delaytime varies spatially and randomly while acquiring seismic data. The reflection coefficient is a function of frequency, incidence angle of plane-wave and the sea state. In order to estimate the proper ghost delaytimes considering these characteristics, we compared the ghost delaytimes estimated with L-1 norm, L-2 norm and kurtosis of the deghosted trace and its autocorrelation on synthetic data. L-1 norm of autocorrelation showed a minimal error and the reflection coefficient was calculated using Kirchhoff approximation equation which can handle the effect of wave height. We applied the estimated ghost delaytimes and the calculated reflection coefficients to remove the source and receiver ghost effects. By removing ghost signals, we reconstructed the frequency components attenuated near the notch frequency and produced the migrated stack section with enhanced temporal resolution.
