The Middle East hosts a wide range of different geological setting, a large number of which exhibit structural complexity and hence can benefit from depth imaging. These structurally complex areas range from over thrust zones on the U.A.E -Oman border to salt structures in the Gulf of Suez and fault shadow problems in the Western Desert of Egypt in addition to offshore Egypt

SUMMARYIn this case study, we show how a new implementation of 3D surface-related multiple elimination (3D SRME) can be used to successfully predict and attenuate complex multiples, including diffracted multiples, on a dataset from Egypt s Mediterranean Sea.
