TSD = (ES SD ED) / V

TGD = TSD UHT

The calculation at the geophone station is more difficult since the

exact thickness of the LVL is unknown.
The procedure is to utilize the up-hole time measured in the
nearest shot hole.
The correction at the geophone station is then:

Surface datum time = shot to datum time + UHT + E0

where E0 is the correction for difference in shot hole

elevation and geophone elevation.

E0 = Geophone elevation Shot elevation

Datum velocity

The calculations for E0 assumes that the LVL

thickness is the same at the shot and geophone
locations.

EXAMPLE
RESIDUAL
STATIC
The residual static corrections for each trace is the time lag
between zero and the positive peak value of the correlation.

CROSSCORRELATION STATICS
This procedure has the advantage that it can be iterated ; that is,
as residual static values are computed and applied, the model
trace is improved, and therefore the correlation between it and
the individual trace improved.

IMPROVEMENT BY ITERATION
 Residual static correction does a good job on the
short-period static, but does a poor job on the long-
period static.

The reason is that the residual static program work

on the arrival time difference between traces and
not on absolute time values.

Short period static shifts cause travel time distortion, which degrades the
stack section.
Correcting for short period statics is not enough.

The structure at points A and B probably create by long period static.

This identified by tracking the shallow horizon and the elevation profile.

This example suggests that the field static were not applied adequately.
