Creating a virtual source inside a medium from reflection data with internal multiples: a stationary-phase analysis
نویسندگان
چکیده
Seismic interferometry allows one to create a virtual source inside a medium, assuming a receiver is present at the position of the virtual source. We discuss a method that creates a virtual source inside a medium from reflection data measured at the surface, without needing a receiver inside the medium and, hence, going beyond seismic interferometry. In addition to the reflection data, an estimate of the direct arrivals is required. However, no information about the medium is needed. We analyze the proposed method for a simple configuration using physical arguments based on the stationary-phase method and show that the retrieved virtual-source response correctly contains the multiples due to the inhomogeneous medium. The proposed method can serve as a basis for data-driven suppression of internal multiples in seismic imaging.

متن کاملCreating Virtual Sources Inside an Unknown Medium from Reflection Data - A New Approach to Internal Multiple Elimination
It has recently been shown that the response to a virtual source in the subsurface can be derived from reflection data at the surface and an estimate of the direct arrivals between the virtual source and the surface. Hence, unlike for seismic interferometry, no receivers are needed inside the medium. This new method recovers the complete wavefield of a virtual source, including all internal mul...
