The ability to resolve thin geological horizon on seismic data is recognized to be a fundamental importance for hydrocarbon exploration, seismic interpretation and reserve prediction. For thin bedding, high frequency content is needed to enable tuning, which can be done by applying the band width extension technique. This paper shows an application of Short Time Fourier Transform Half Cepstrum (STFTHC) method, a frequency bandwidth expansion technique for non-stationary seismic signal in increasing the temporal resolution to uncover thin beds and improve characterization of the basin. A wedge model and synthetic seismic data is used to quantify the algorithm as well as real data from Sarawak basin were used to show the effectiveness of this method in enhancing the resolution. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd. %O cited By 2; Conference of 3rd International Conference on Geological, Geographical, Aerospace and Earth Science, AeroEarth 2015 ; Conference Date: 26 September 2015 Through 27 September 2015; Conference Code:119552 %L scholars7197 %J IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science %D 2016 %R 10.1088/1755-1315/30/1/012003 %N 1
