In this paper we are describing the processing flow for deepwater sparse node OBN processing. Some of the processing steps which are unique to OBN processing are discussed in details. Some of the steps in the processing handle variations which are not repeatable between surveys and taking out the variations are important not only for imaging of single surveys, but also for limiting the 4D noise in OBN results. The different methods for QC-ing OBN processing results are discussed as well as the effect of the datum difference on how to QC the data. The result of the full processing of the OBN data is compared with a fast-track processing of a downgoing only dataset.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
