Abstract: Aim

ing at the characteristics of seismic data collected by single-source, single-cable, long-array under complex sea conditions of the Dongsha sea area for the first time, we propose an optimal technical solution for processing this kind of data. We have achieved good results in removing various noise interferences and different types of multiple-wave interferences, especially the severe interference of marine turbulence in the survey area. Under the premise of amplitude-preserving treatment, the bubble is suppressed, the wavelet is compressed, and the resolution of the seismic data is improved. Using high-density velocity analysis, we performed anisotropic bi-spectral non-hyperbolic move-out correction, making the wave group features and amplitude characteristics more obvious. Through reasonable regularization of bins, the coverage folds are uniform and the lateral resolution is improved. For the densely-distributed 2D seismic data, a 3D pre-stack time migration processing method is adopted. In this study, the single-source, single-cable, long-streamer, seismic data with severe noise interference are processed in the way of 3D seismic data processing. The processing highlights the effective information from the shallow to deep, especially the imaging quality improvement for the Mesozoic. More obviously, a set of effective processing procedures has been formed, which provides a technical basis for exploration and data processing in the adjacent areas in the future, and also provides a scientific basis for oil and gas exploration and evaluation of the Dongsha sea area.

Key words: Dongsha area, single-source,single-cable and long-array, Mesozoic, seismic data, data processing
