Purpose of Deconvolution
Deconvolution attempts to undo unwanted convolution processes applied to the seismic wavelet as it passes through the seismic system Ultimate purpose:
to extract the reflectivity series
Despite the fact that non of these criteria are not satisfied, deconvolution is a remarkably robust process

Resolution
If reflections are closer (in time) than the wavelet length then interference occurs and these events cannot be uniquely identified
3 boundaries
The convolution of the reflectivity series with the source wavelet can be expressed as:
x(t) = w(t) * e(t) where: x is recorded trace e is reflectivity time series w is seismic wavelet (source signature in this model)
X
Amplitude spectrum of reflectivity (white)
Inverse Filtering
From
x(t) = w(t) * e(t)
to remove w (t)
derive operator g(t) such that g(t) * w(t) = spike g(t) is mathematical inverse of w(t) = w -1(t) Inverse filter = w -1(t)
Deconvolution Types
Deterministic Deconvolution
Operators are derived from known or modelled functions
