Seismic data compression (SDC) is crucially, confronted in the oil Industry with large data volumes and Incomplete data measurements. In this research, we present a comprehensive method of exploiting wave packets to perform seismic data compression .Wave atoms are the modern addition to the collection of mathematical transforms for harmonic computational analysis. Wave atoms are variant of 2D wavelet packets that keep an isotropic aspect ratio. Wave atoms have a spiky frequency localization that cannot be attained using a filter bank based on wavelet packets and offer a significantly sparser expansion for oscillatory functions than wavelets ,curvelets and Gabor atoms.
