A field-scale experiment was performed using a combination of 3D internal multiple attenuation (IMA) methods and the deterministic derivation of the generator of the internal multiple travel path in the convolutional process. This innovative approach in the deep-water Santos Basin proved to be beneficial not only for the interpretation of complex structures but also for reservoir monitoring and characterization in time-lapse seismic products, enabled by the improved signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the image in presalt areas.
