VSP Near Offset Processing

In this tutorial, a VSP 3-Component Data set for a Near Offset data set consisting of 85
traces for each component is loaded for processing with detailed steps for inputting header
parameters. Then the VSP | Geometry Window Display is used to fill the VISTA headers
for the depths and other critical parameters.

Finally, several job flow charts are provided which runs these multi-component traces
through standard VSP Near Offset processing steps to produce a final corridor stack
output.

Note that in multi-component VSP data the Near Offset is processed differently
than the Far Offset data.

The demonstration VSP data set provided for processing is a zero-offset VSP.

Create a Project and Set up Defaults

Start a new project called Near Offset and import the data Zero_offset.sgy to it.

This step has already been completed in the VSP Near Offset data provided. This
section is provided to review the steps necessary to input VSP data into the VISTA
processing environment.

First start the VISTA application and create a new project. Name the new project 'Near
Offset'.

Generally when creating a new project it is best to place it in a new directory possibly with
the same project name. This better helps to organize the project files.

Also note that at the start of a new project should set up the plot parameters for the
project in the Edit|Project Plotting Defaults.

Step 1. Create a New VSP Project

Using the File|New Project on the main bar opens up the following dialog for entering
the project name 'Near Offset'.

Trace ID Mapping and Seismic Display

TRACE_ID_CODE Mapping

In VSP processing within VISTA, the header TRACE_ID_CODE is very important; it


identifies the component of the geophone, many algorithms assumes that this is the case.

In this tutorial, the following components will be identified by:

Vertical Component = TRACE_ID_CODE = 3

Horizontal Components = TRACE_ID_CODE = 1 and TRACE_ID_CODE = 2.

As the header used in the SEG-Y file to identify the components is CHANNEL_NO, it is
necessary to map the CHANNEL_NO header to the TRACE_ID_CODE header using the
Seismic Header View/Edit spreadsheet.

Open the spreadsheet by selecting Interactive | Header View/Edit Window Display


from the VISTA menu bar. Select the 'Zero_offset XYZ' dataset and click OK to continue.

Tip: The Header Spreadsheet can be displayed by clicking the "H" icon next to
the selected data set.

Output Various output flow tools are used to provide the flattened up going,
down going, and for reference the flattened mean.

Example Outputs
The three output are summarized below to show the outputs of this processing flow.

[ Raw Vertical ] [ Upgoing (-tt) ] [ Downgoing (-tt) ] [ Flattened Mean ]

The added file symbols (-tt) in the file name indicate when the displays have the First
Breaks (first arrivals) and down going P-waves time aligned.

Near Offset Statics Removal

In various VSP processing flows it is necessary to restore flatten data (by removing
inserted statics) to Field Recorded Time (FRT) and/or the flattened data events on the near
offset VSP are aligned at the same time coordinate and therefore should be positioned in
pseudo-two-way travel time indicated by the symbols (TWT) or (+tt).

The Flow C_FRT & TWT.flw below provides such an example. This example can be used on
non-decon data and decon processed data.

Near Offset Q Attenuation

The availability of Near Offset down going VSP data allows the implementation of the VSP
|Q Attenuation display for estimating Q as a function of depth.

For optimum Q estimates the filter separating the down going wave field from the Raw
Vertical data should have the minimum number of traces employed in the median filter to
keep the role off at the edges to a minimum, while also keeping the up going wave field to
a minimum.

A typical flow to prepare the down going data for Q Attenuation processing is shown below.

[Sort Input Data by TRCID]

Flow Command Description


Input The input data is the 'Raw Vertical'. Make sure that the sort is set to
Sort = TRCID.
Flatten The vertical component data is flattened to 100 ms with the Header
Value to Flatten On being the DATA_FIRSTBREAK.
Scale Mean scaling is applied to the traces with the Design Window time
window set to a Fixed Window of 90 - 110ms to cover the direct
arrivals only.
AtmFilter This alpha trim mean/median filter was set to a median filter with 7
points (traces) to compute the down going wave field with minimum
roll off.
Output The main output file is 'Downgoing Q In (-tt)'.
