Refraction statics

Statics plays a crucial role in onshore processing. The first step in statics in onshore data is field statics which can be calculated and applied by the field parameters like up hole time and up hole depth. In other instances the user applies elevation statics and compare the results with field and elevation statics. The most common and efficient statics solution is refraction statics however it may not be true that the refraction statics solutions shall always give the best results. In refraction statics, the user should pick the first breaks, QC the first break picks and compute the solution. There are various methods to compute the refraction statics solution.

g-Platform offers it's proprietary statics solutions which is very robust, fast and the results are outstanding. In g-Platform we are having different refraction statics modules which are

•Refraction statics by Azimuthal - Solver/phase/aperture

•Refraction tomo statics

•Refraction statics by cross-correlation

We are going to discuss each one of them in the upcoming sections.
