Abstract: A method includes receiving data representing measurements acquired by seismic sensors in response to energy that is produced by shots of a seismic source. The energy that is produced by the seismic source for each shot includes a plurality of discrete frequencies of discrete frequency bands that are within a frequency range of interest and are separated by at least one excluded frequency or frequency band. The data may be processed to determine at least one characteristic of a geologic structure.

Abstract: In a first aspect, a method for use in a time lapse, marine seismic survey includes accessing a set of acquired, multicomponent seismic data; and interpolating a set of time lapse seismic data from the acquired seismic data. In other aspects, a program storage medium is encoded with instructions that, when executed by a computing device, perform the above method and a computing apparatus programmed to perform one or more of such methods.

Abstract: A method of determining a migration pathway of a subterranean fluid through a geological volume is provided. The starting object is located within the geological volume. The starting object defines an initial fluid boundary. Data points are distributed through the geological volume. The data points are associated with values of one or more geological attributes. The method includes the steps of: defining an expression which determines a change in position of the fluid boundary at the data points over an iteration based on the values of the one or more attributes; and applying the expression at the data points for successive iterations to evolve the fluid boundary over the successive iterations. The migration pathway of the subterranean fluid through the geological volume can then be determined from the evolution of the fluid boundary.

Abstract: Survey data corresponding to a subsurface region of interest is received. A wavefield is determined by iteratively performing the following until a specified condition is satisfied. For a current iteration, an element that includes a representation of at least one portion of the wavefield is selected based at least in part on a current residual representing an approximation error. For the current iteration, a respective data structure is computed from the selected element. The data structure is orthogonally projected onto a space spanned by a plurality of data structures including the computed data structure. The current residual is based at least in part on the orthogonal projection.

Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to the use of a self-propelled underwater vehicle for seismic data acquisition. The self-propelled underwater vehicle is adapted to gather seismic data from the seafloor and transmit such data to a control vessel. The self-propelled underwater vehicle may be redeployed to several seafloor locations during a seismic survey. Methods for real-time modeling of a target zone and redeployment of the self-propelled underwater vehicle based on the modeling are also described.

Abstract: Propagation of wavefields are simulated along paths in a survey environment, where the simulated propagation includes an influence of a reflection at an interface that causes ghost data in measured survey data. Deghosting of the measured survey data is performed using the simulated wavefields.
