g-Platform does have two set of modules for surface-consistent procedures:

 

1) Surface-consistent amplitude correction

 

Surface-consistent amplitude correction (SCAC) stage is one of the main steps in seismic time processing which is used for amplitude distortion correction caused by the near-surface irregularities or buried anomalies. The term surface-consistent implies that the time correction depends only on the surface location of the shot and receiver associated with the trace (Yilmaz, 2001). Surface consistent factors may be divided into source, receiver, offset, and subsurface components and these may be divided further into amplitude and phase (or time shift) factors. Correction of trace amplitudes using multiplication by a scale factor is similar to correction of phase distortions by a static shift, and both corrections enhance seismic data.

 

2) Surface-consistent deconvolution

 

Surface consistent deconvolution attempts to reverse this process by extracting the original log spectra (for each shot, each receiver) from all of the original input data. This is done by averaging the log spectra for each shot, each receiver, each CMP and each offset (channel) and then using a Gauss-Seidel iterative technique to isolate the individual components.
