Ultra-low frequency phase assessment for broadband data

Reliable low frequency content and phase alignment are critical for broadband seismic inversion and the prediction of reservoir properties. However, currently there is a lack of tools for ultra-low frequency (less than 5 Hz) quality and phase assessment. A focusing metric in the impedance domain is proposed to assess the ultra-low frequency phase alignment. The method has been applied on a real broadband dataset for the assessment of the residual phase correction process and the conclusion is validated by using well information.
