Abstract
Spectral extrapolation is a bandwidth extension technique that we implement by combining spectral inversion with constraints, time-variant wavelet extraction, and targeted broadband filtering. We explain the principles of spectral extrapolation as a valid and effective bandwidth extension method and demonstrate its application to a 2D onshore Philippines legacy seismic data set using a time-variant wavelet extraction, resulting in a tripling of the frequency range of the spectrum. The results indicate significant potential for mapping complex stratigraphy and geomorphological features not evident on the input seismic data images, yielding information about reservoir distribution and connectivity that is often critical for optimal well placement.
