The first step of SRME is to predict the multiples based on the feedback model. Its matrix notation is

B = S 1 R D 1
where P is the input data, P is the multiple-free data, and S is the seismic wavelet vector, D is the receiver matrix, R is the downward reflection matrix of the surface. The matrix multiplications are 2D convolution of the data with itself in t-x domain. Due to various limitations, there are discrepancies between the predicted multiples and the real multiples as previously discussed. A matching filter has to be used to adaptively subtract the multiples. Unfortunately, when primaries strongly interfere with multiples, conventional adaptive subtraction algorithms give biased primaries. In order to solve the problem, an effective algorithm is presented in this paper. Adaptive multiple subtraction using a pattern-based technique Linear events in f-x domain are predictable. A locally linear event can be described by a local plane differential equation

The real data is always contaminated by additive random noises. In order to attenuate these noises, a signalpreserving algorithm based on a projection filter was introduced(Soubaras,1994). In addition, multiples are not always perfectly predictable in f-x domain. In order to solve these problems, an algorithm that iteratively and jointly uses the primary PEF and the projection signal filter as the constraints in the minimization is proposed here. Iteratively calculating the primary PEF can handle the problem when the multiples are not perfectly predictable, and using the projection signal filter can reduce the effects of the additive random noises while preserving signals. This process can be formulated as

Examples The second step of SRME is adaptive multiple subtraction. Conventional way calculates the matching filter by minimizing the energy of the primaries. It can be formulated as Both synthetic datasets (Courtesy of BP) and real datasets have been successfully tested using this new algorithm. Fig. 1 shows one flat primary event and two dipping multiple events with different amplitudes. The amplitude of the steepest event is twice of that of the other dipping event. Fig. 2 shows the two dipping events that corresponding to the multiples to be eliminated from the data. Fig. 3 shows the result of the standard adaptive subtraction, which tells us the multiples are only partially eliminated. Fig. 4 shows the result of the new algorithm, which indicates that the two dipping events have been successfully removed. Fig. 5 shows the events subtracted by the new algorithm. Fig. 6 shows the second synthetic data that consists of a horizontal primary event, and a curved-multiple event. Fig. 7 shows the predicted multiple that is slightly shifted with respect to the curved event in Fig. 6. Fig. 8 is the result of

When primaries strongly interfere with multiples, this algorithm gives biased primaries after subtraction. In order to solve the problem linked with the standard LSQR

It calculates the matching filter by jointly and iteratively using the signal PEF and the projection signal filter as constraints to the LSQR problem. Both synthetic and real data tests show its effectiveness. The extension of the algorithm to 3D is straightforward. References Abma, R., Kabir, N., Simon, A.
