<![CDATA[Seismic traces are generated by the convolution of reflectivity and seismic wavelet. Due to limited frequency bandwidth, reflectivity can not be resolved easily. Deconvolution is a method to increase the frequency bandwidth and gives seismic data higher resolution, which makes it easier to analyze. Deconvolution is a common method in the seismic data processing. The mathematical definition of deconvolution is an inverse process of convolution, but the computation of deconvolution uses convolution in its process (Wiener deconvolution). We explained a method that is direct from the mathematical definition. We refer to it as direct-inversion deconvolution. The direct-inversion deconvolution process involves the matrix operation between seismic trace and wavelet instead of the deconvolution filter. By applying the direct-inversion deconvolution, the produced (or deconvolved) seismic trace shows a better result with higher resolution, regardless of the wavelet’s phase. Finally, we performed a phase rotation experiment, and the deconvolution result shows no seismic phase alteration. In comparison, we also perform spiking deconvolution in synthetic data experiments. This method is applied to The North Sea Volve Data Village seismic data, and more thin layers are significantly detected. Finally, it turns out that direct-inversion deconvolution gives a higher resolution to seismic data.]]>
