With the continuous development of complex marine hydrocarbon reservoirs, broadband seismic data have shown growing advantages in revealing abundant stratigraphic information. Affected by acquisition conditions and stratigraphic attenuation, the acquired seismic data commonly suffer from narrow bandwidth, and conventional broadband processing techniques are incapable of optimizing the overall frequency band. This study proposes a coordinated high- and low-frequency broadband compensation method based on adaptive weight fusion to effectively extend the frequency bandwidth of seismic data. Firstly, wavefield separation is used to suppress ghost reflections, compensate low-frequency effective signals, and restore the continuity of the low-frequency spectrum. Then, based on the spectrum extrapolation method of maximum entropy spectrum estimation, a spectrum prediction model is established to achieve the continuation of high-frequency effective signals. Finally, in combination with the signal-to-noise ratio of each frequency band, the adaptive weight fusion algorithm is applied for weighted summation. The acquired broadband seismic data feature a continuous spectrum and balanced energy, greatly improving seismic imaging quality. Comparative results obtained using conventional processing methods verify that the proposed method can significantly improve stratigraphic continuity and wave group characteristics.
