Surface-related multiple elimination (SRME) is an algorithm that predicts all surface multiples by a convolutional process applied to seismic field data with minimal preprocessing. Once predicted, the multiples are removed from the data by adaptive subtraction.[1].

History

SRME was introduced to industry by the Delphi Consortium at Delft University of Technology in 1992 by Eric Verschuur[2]. The historical development of this method starts with Nigel A. Anstey and Paul Newman who observed that with the autoconvolution of a trace, primary events were transformed into multiples[3].
