Measuring, imaging and suppressing multiply scattered surface waves
نویسندگان
چکیده
Near-surface scattering can contaminate the arrival of energy from target reflectors. We developed a 3D wave-theoretical method, as a multi-channel alternative for short-wavelength static corrections, that was successfully tested on laboratory data, excited and monitored with a computer controlled, non-contacting system.

Imaging and Illumination with Internal Multiples
If singly scattered seismic waves illuminate the entirety of a subsurface structure of interest, standard methods can be applied to image it. It is generally the case, however, that with a combination of restricted acquisition geometry and imperfect velocity models, it is not possible to illuminate all structures with only singly scattered waves. We present an approach to use multiply scattered...
متن کاملCase History Recursive imaging with multiply scattered waves using partial image regularization: A North Sea case study
As more resources are directed toward reverse time migration, an accurate velocity model, including strong reflectors, is necessary to form a clear image of the subsurface. This is of particular importance in the vicinity of salt, where singly scattered waves are often not ideal for imaging the salt flanks. This has led to interest in processing doubly scattered waves (also called duplex or pri...
متن کاملSubsalt imaging with internal multiples
If singly scattered seismic waves illuminate the entirety of a subsurface structure of interest, standard methods can be applied to image it. In many cases, subsalt imaging for example, a combination of restricted acquisition geometry and imperfect velocity models results in regions of the model that are not illuminated with singly scattered waves. We present an approach to use multiply scatter...
متن کاملReverse-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...
متن کاملIncreasing 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 ...
