Parameters effects on spiking deconvolution of land seismic data

Spiking deconvolution is a standard Wiener Levinson algorithm. The autocorrelation of the design time gate is computed and there is a specified taper on the design gate before the autocorrelation is done. The standard equations are set up,prewhitening is added to the zero lag value of the autocorrelation and the matrix is inverted to derive the spiking operator. In this study,the authors describe a technique for performing spiking deconvolution on prestack time migration( PSTM) data,to test the effect of operator length and percent prewhitening in spiking deconvolution and apply spiking deconvolution trace by trace,with operator lengths 15 ms,10 ms and 5 ms when percent prewhitening 0%,40 ms and 60 ms for percent prewhitening 1%. The results show when prewhitening is 0% the shorter operator gives better results,but when value of prewhitening is bigger than 0% it is better to use longer operator lengths.
