Multiple Removal
In general, removing coherent
noise and multiple energy from the
seismic dataset is one of the most vital
processing steps. Of the many
demultiple techniques available, two
stand out as being generally good at
preserving pre-stack primary
amplitudes. Surface related multiple Figure 4: Seismic section before (left) and after application of SRME (right).

Figure 5: DMO gather: Left panel - conventional DMO is applied. Right panel - HiFi DMO is applied to the maximum offset 1200 m. In
particular, compare the amplitudes on the nearest offset traces (arrowed).
