Abstract: A method to perform a marine seismic survey includes obtaining marine seismic data corresponding to a subterranean formation under a water surface. The marine seismic data is generated from an underwater seismic sensor that is subject to an interference effect. The method further includes generating, by a computer processor and using a deconvolution operation, corrected marine seismic data based at least in part on the marine seismic data to compensate for the interference effect, and generating, by the computer processor, a marine seismic survey result based at least in part on the corrected marine seismic data.

Abstract: Described herein are implementations of various technologies for a method for mapping water table depths. In one implementation, a satellite image of an area of interest may be received. The satellite image may comprise a red spectrum, a green spectrum and a blue spectrum. A first map may be generated that identifies only water features on the satellite image. The first map may be convolved with a digital elevation model of the area of interest to generate a second map. The second map may identify elevations of the water features on the satellite image. An interpolation algorithm may be applied to the second map to generate a third map. The third map may identify water tables and elevations for the water tables on the satellite image.

Abstract: A group of techniques can be used to determine if components of a seismic spread have deviated from a planned path during a coil or other curved and substantially circular acquisition pattern. In one aspect, and in general, the presently disclosed techniques include a computer-readable program storage medium for determining the deviation of spread array element from a planned curved path during a towed-array marine seismic survey. The method comprises: determining a nominal position of the spread array element at a given point in the planned curved path; determining the actual position of the spread array element; and performing an error analysis predicated on the nominal and actual positions.

Abstract: Systems and methods for optimizing low frequency output of marine sources are described. The marine source arrangements and associated methods disclosed herein seek to fully frequency lock bubbles emitted by airguns in close proximity to one another. In this manner, larger effective bubble volumes can be achieved, thus increasing low frequency output.

Abstract: Processing data representing a wavefield propagating through a medium by defining, based on one or more properties of a region of the medium and of the wavefield therein, a desired timestep and a desired spatial step for a discrete operator. Discrete seed operators having an initial timestep and an initial spatial step less than the desired timestep and the desired spatial step are then defined, and these seed operators are compounded to obtain an operator having a greater timestep and upscaled to obtain an operator having a greater spatial step. The compounding and upscaling are repeated until an operator having the desired timestep and the desired spatial step is obtained. The operator having the desired timestep and the desired spatial step may be applied to the data representing the wavefield propagating through a medium to propagate the data backwards in time to recreate the wavefield at earlier times.
