These pages are targeted mainly to university students ...

... but any other readers are welcome. Basically this is an introduction to the seismic data processing. I will try to keep the language simple, avoiding the mathematical hocus-pocuses. Of course the reader will need some basic knowledge, such as differential equations, Fourier transform, ... etc, but no deep digging will be required.

The first thing I strongly suggest, try to go through the "New Technology" paragraph first. This is not to degrade the "Classic" seismic data processing. The classic seismic data processing, the NMO correction, CDP system, Stacking are the magic tools, which made from the seismic method an industrial product. These tools led to the largest discoveries, without them the oil industry would not be as great, as it is today. We will go through these items in details later on, in the "Classic" paragraph.

The problem is similar to the relation between the Bohr atomic model and the quantum physics. Once someone understood the Bohr atomic model; will never properly understand and accept the quantum mechanics. Here it is the same, once you dig yourself into the CDP-Stacking technology, you will never accept and understand the new procedures.

As a matter of fact, they are not new. The new ideas came out at the middle of eighties, but even today very few technicians understood them properly. I believe the syndrome is similar to the case of the Bohr atomic model...
