    摘要: Methods for processing seismic data acquired with non-impulsive moving sources are provided. Some methods remove cross-talk noise from the seismic data using emitted signal data and an underground formation's response estimate, which may be iteratively enhanced. Some methods perform resampling before a spatial or a spatio-temporal inversion. Some methods compensate for source's motion during the inversion, and/or are usable for multiple independently moving sources.

    摘要: Methods and systems for processing data acquired using a variable-depth streamer, obtain up-going and down-going wavefields at a predetermined datum, and use them to identify multiples included in the up-going wavefield. An image of a geological formation under the seabed is then generated using the data from which the multiples have been removed, and/or the multiples.

    摘要: A method for estimating a time variant signal representing a seismic source obtains seismic data recorded by at least one receiver and generated by the seismic source, the recorded seismic data comprising direct arrivals and derives the time variant signal using an operator that relates the time variant signal to the acquired seismic data, the operator constrained such that the time variant signal is sparse in time.

    摘要: Computing device, computer instructions and method for correcting an image, of a surveyed surface, due to a free-surface reflection. The method includes calculating a free surface reflection operator for a seismic source displaced in water based on a position of the source, and an air-water interface datum; receiving recorded seismic data d recorded with seismic sensors (r), wherein the recorded seismic data is associated with a pressure and/or a particle motion produced by a seismic wave in earth; correcting the recorded seismic data d based on the free surface reflection operator to obtain transformed seismic data; and generating an image of the surveyed subsurface, based on the transformed seismic data, wherein the image is indicative of various layers of the earth. The free surface reflection operator varies while a source signal is being emitted by the source.

    摘要: A method for de-blending seismic data associated with an interface located in a subsurface of the earth, includes receiving blended seismic data E generated by firing N source arrays according to a pre-determined sequence Seq; selecting N sub-datasets SDn from the blended seismic data E; interpolating each selected sub-dataset SDn to reference positions ref, where the blended seismic data E is expected to be recorded, to generate interpolated data k; de-blending, in a processor, the interpolated data k to generate de-blended data o; and generating an image of the interface of the subsurface based on the de-blended data o.

    摘要: Computing device, computer instructions and method process input seismic data d recorded in a first domain by seismic receivers that travel in water, the input seismic data d including pressure and particle motion measurements, including up-going and down-going wave-fields. A model p is generated in a second domain by solving an inverse problem for the input seismic data d, wherein applying an L transform to the model p describes the input data d. An L′ transform, which is different from the L transform, is then applied to the model p to obtain an output seismic data in the first domain, the output seismic data having a characteristic imparted by the transform L′. The characteristic is related to pressure wave-fields and/or particle motion wave-fields interpolated at positions in-between the input seismic receivers. An image of the surveyed subsurface is generated based on the output seismic dataset.

    摘要: Computing device, computer instructions and method for processing energy at a free-surface reflection relating to an air-water interface. The method includes receiving input seismic data recorded with seismic sensors; receiving wave-height data that describes an actual shape of a top surface of a body of water; processing up-going energy at a receiver and down-going energy following a reflection at the sea-surface, using the input seismic data and a linear operator modified to take into account the wave-height data; and generating an image of the subsurface based on the up-going energy or the down-going energy or a combination of the input seismic data and one of the up-going or down-going energy.
