Abstract

Power line harmonic noise generated by power lines during the seismic data acquisition in land and marine seismic surveys generally appears as a single frequency with 50/60 Hz (or multiples of these frequencies) and contaminates seismic data leading to complicate the identification of fine details in the data. Commonly applied method during seismic data processing to remove the harmonic noise is classical notch filter (or very narrow band-stop filter), however, it also attenuates all recorded data around the notch frequencies and results in a complete loss of available information which corresponds to fine details in the seismic data.
