Project Planning
Before any processing can take place, we need to: Internal project meeting Client meeting - determine objectives etc Perform inventory check Produce testing plan Project set-up - resource allocation etc

Summary
Virtually all processing projects will require the following:
Accurate locating of shots and receivers and their relationship Time-correction to a known datum (land, shallow water, transition zone) Amplitude recovery Noise attenuation Signal enhancement Cmp gathering Demultiple (marine) Normal move-out correction (including muting any noise introduced) Residual time-corrections (land data) Correction for smearing within a cmp - dip-moveout correction (for post stack migration processing) Data reduction - stacking Repositioning / imaging - Migration
