INTRODUCTION
Seismic data processing
converts seismic data recordings into meaningful seismic sections that reveal
and help delineate the earth subsurface stratigraphy and structure that may
bear fossil hydrocarbons. Three main objectives of
seismic data processing: correcting static and location, increasing signal/noise ratio, and improving resolution.
Those can be implemented by various techniques of processing stages which are beyond
the scope of mathematical, geological, and physics concepts. There are many processing softwares, the most usual and commercial software such as ProMAX, Omega, Vista, Focus, etc. Apart of them, there are also many freeware and open-source processing softwares. Seismic Unix (SU) package is a most usual, fast release & freeware processing tools under Linux/Unix developed and maintained by the Center for Wave Phenomena (CWP) at Colorado School of Mines. The full source code packages are distributed and can be downloaded on http://www.cwp.mines.edu/cwpcodes/index.html or via ftp://ftp.cwp.mines.edu/pub/cwpcodes.
