摘要:
A method for de-ghosting marine seismic trace data is described. A reference seismic trace and a candidate seismic trace are selected from acquired seismic data. The acquired seismic data is gathered using a configuration wherein either a first streamer and a second streamer are disposed at different depths relative to one another and are laterally offset relative to one another, or using a configuration wherein a first source and a second source are disposed at different depths relative to one another and are laterally offset from one another. The reference seismic trace and the candidate seismic trace are processed, e.g., to perform normal moveout correction and/or vertical datum shifting, and the processed reference seismic trace is de-ghosted using the processed, candidate seismic trace.
摘要:
Methods and systems for separating multiple events from primary events in noisy seismic data are described. Multiples are predicted and then the predictions are improved by least-square matching filtering in the space and time domain. An adaptive curvelet domain separation (ACDS) is then performed and the ACDS equation is solved with an iterative soft-thresholding technique. Further processing can be added to compensate for prediction inaccuracy or variable/excessive seismic data noise by dividing the seismic data into predetermined bands and processing each band independently.

Methods and systems for improving azimuth distribution in a seismic acquisition system are described. A survey acquisition system includes a plurality of streamers towed by a plurality of streamer vessels, including a first streamer vessel (202) and a second streamer vessel (204) and a plurality of sources towed by a plurality of source vessels (206, 208, 210). The plurality of streamer vessels and plurality of source vessels are configured relative to one another such that the plurality of source vessels (206, 208, 210) are positioned at one or more predetermined inline distances behind a portion of the first streamer vessel and are also positioned at one or more predetermined inline distances in front of a portion of the second streamer vessel. The plurality of streamer vessels and plurality of source vessels are also spaced apart from one another in a cross-line direction.

Controller and method for generating a frequency sweep for a seismic survey that uses a seismic source. The method includes receiving (1000) specification data about the seismic source (1110); receiving (1002) environmental data (300) about an infrastructure affected by the seismic survey; receiving (1004) guideline data about the infrastructure; setting (1006) a target energy spectrum density to be emitted by the seismic source (1110) during the seismic survey; and calculating (1008), in a processor (1202), the frequency sweep based on the specification data, environmental data, guideline data and the target energy spectrum density.
摘要:
A method for processing seismic data acquired using the same seismic survey setup over long periods of time includes acquiring sets of seismic data using the same seismic survey setup over multiple days, the sets being gathered as repeated seismic data. The method further includes estimating a time-variable wavelet corresponding to unwanted waves, and determining a propagation of the time-variable wavelet, which propagation is assumed to be constant in time, by solving an inverse problem using the repeated seismic data and the estimated time-variable wavelet. The method also includes extracting signal data by subtracting a convolution of the estimated time-variable wavelet and the propagation from the repeated seismic data.

Seismic wave sources and related methods are provided. A seismic wave source includes a housing (110), plural pillars and an excitation system. The housing is split in two halves (112,114) along a plane including a longitudinal axis of the housing. The plural pillars are made of piezoelectric elements and are positioned inside the housing to have one end in contact with a semi-cylindrical middle portion of one half of the housing and another end in contact with a semi-cylindrical middle portion of the other half of the housing. The excitation system connected by wires to the plural pillars and is configured to provide electrical signals to the piezoelectric elements. Upon receiving the electrical signals from the excitation system, the pillars generate forces on the housing thereby generating seismic waves.

Method for determining a seismic survey configuration of a multi-vessel acquisition system. The method includes a step of receiving (800) a number that corresponds to vessels to be used in the multi-vessel acquisition system (300); a step of receiving (802) a cross-line distance (350) between first and last straight line paths (322, 324) corresponding to first and last vessels (302, 304), respectively, of the multi-vessel acquisition system (300); a step of receiving (804) an inline distance (345) between the first and last vessels (302, 304); a step of selecting (806) shapes of undulating paths for the vessels of the multi-vessel acquisition system (300); a step of receiving (808) a desired azimuth and/or offset distribution of receivers towed by one or more streamer vessels of the multi-vessel acquisition system (300) relative to source vessels of the multi-vessel acquisition system (300); and a step of calculating (810) amplitudes (A i ), periods (T i ) and phases of the undulating paths.
摘要:
During seismic data acquisition the seismic sources and/or seismic receivers are deployed according to an irregular arrangement departing in a predetermined manner from repetitive spatial patterns formed by or within groups of adjacent among the seismic sources or adjacent among the receivers. Additionally or alternatively, source activation moments of the sources within a series of source firing time intervals are determined using Golomb ruler sequences or a non-linear inversion.
