Term · Oil and gas · MLC-T-OAG-003405
The portion of recorded seismic data that contains meaningful information about the subsurface geology, such as reflections from rock layers. It represents the desired response from the Earth's structure, as opposed to random or coherent noise. The quality of the signal directly impacts the clarity and interpretability of seismic images.
