The presence of multiples in the recorded seismic data is one of the main problems of seismic exploration, which has a great impact on the ability of correct data processing and interpretation. It is believed that multiples create problems mainly for marine data. This is because the seafloor is a very contrasting acoustic boundary that produces energy-intensive multiples. On land, multiples associated with the observational surface have much lower energy, because they are influenced by the top of the section many times. The main problem for land-based observations is internal multiples.
This report will illustrate the different types of multiples and their effect on the wave pattern using synthetic data and propose techniques to suppress them.
