Imaging blended vertical seismic profiling data using full-wavefield migration in the common-receiver domain

For vertical-seismic-profiling (VSP) measurements, the use of blended acquisition, with time-overlapping shot records, can greatly reduce the downtime and, thereby, provide large cost savings. For directly imaging blended VSP measurements, we have used full-wavefield migration (FWM). FWM is an inversion-based imaging scheme that enables us to use any kind of complex source wavefield to estimate...

Increasing illumination and sensitivity of reverse-time migration with internal multiples

Reverse-time migration is a two-way time-domain finite-frequency technique that accurately handles the propagation of complex scattered waves and produces a band-limited representation of the subsurface structure that is conventionally assumed to be linear in the model parameters. Because of this underlying linear single-scattering assumption, most implementations of this method do not satisfy ...

Internal multiple suppression by adaptive Marchenko redatuming

Recently, a novel iterative scheme was proposed to retrieve Green’s functions in an unknown medium from its single-sided reflection response and an estimate of the propagation velocity. In Marchenko imaging, these Green’s functions are used for seismic imaging with complete wavefields, including internal multiple reflections. In this way, common artifacts from these internal reflections are avo...

Reverse-time-migration of multiply scattered seismic waves

Multiply scattered waves, including internal multiples, are rarely considered as signal when imaging with seismic waves. Reverse-time-migration techniques accurately handle the propagation of such complex scattered waves, but most of these techniques paradoxically do not fully utilize the illumination and energy of multiply scattered waves because these methods rely on the single-scattering ass...

Analyzing the Illumination and Resolution in Seismic Survey Designing

Seismic modeling aids the geophysicists to have a better understanding of the subsurface image before the seismic acquisition, processing, and interpretation. In this regard, seismic survey modeling is employed to make a model close to the real structure and to obtain very realistic synthetic seismic data. The objective of this study is to analyze the resolution and illumination of the fault by...
