A computer-implemented method for processing a seismic trace of a subterranean region comprising: (a) deriving a seismic wavelet for a time-window of seismic trace; (b) generating a model for the subterranean region corresponding to that time-window comprising a plurality of seismic reflectors by comparing the seismic wavelet with the time-window of the seismic trace to identify locations for the seismic reflectors, wherein the locations of the seismic reflectors are subject to a separation constraint requiring neighboring seismic reflectors to be separated by at least a minimum separation threshold which is greater than a separation corresponding to a sampling interval for the seismic trace; (c) defining a model seismic wavelet having a model seismic wavelet amplitude spectrum with a frequency bandwidth which is greater than that of the seismic wavelet amplitude spectrum determined for the time-window of the seismic trace; and (d) generating a model of the time-window of the seismic trace for the subterranean region based on the plurality of seismic reflectors of the model for the subterranean region corresponding to that time window and the model seismic wavelet. |
