Minato, S. (author), Matsuoka, T. (author), Tsuji, T. (author), Draganov, D.S. (author), Hunziker, J.W. (author), Wapenaar, C.P.A. (author)Crosswell reflection method is a high-resolution seismic imaging method that uses recordings between boreholes. The need for downhole sources is a restrictive factor in its application, for example, to time-lapse surveys. An alternative is to use surface sources in combination with seismic interferometry. Seismic interferometry (SI) could...journal article 2011

Tetyukhina, D. (author), Van Vliet, L.J. (author), Luthi, S.M. (author), Wapenaar, C.P.A. (author)Fluvio-deltaic sedimentary systems are of great interest for explorationists because they can form prolific hydrocarbon plays. However, they are also among the most complex and heterogeneous ones encountered in the subsurface, and potential reservoir units are often close to or below seismic resolution. For seismic inversion, it is therefore...journal article 2010

Wapenaar, C.P.A. (author), Van der Neut, J.R. (author)Green’s function retrieval by crosscorrelation may suffer from irregularities in the source distribution, asymmetric illumination, intrinsic losses, etc. Multidimensional deconvolution (MDD) may overcome these limitations. A unified representation for Green’s function retrieval by MDD is proposed. From this representation, it follows that the...journal article 2010

Ruigrok, E.N. (author), Campman, X. (author), Draganov, D.S. (author), Wapenaar, K. (author)In recent years, there has been an increase in the deployment of relatively dense arrays of seismic stations. The availability of spatially densely sampled global and regional seismic data has stimulated the adoption of industry-style imaging algorithms applied to converted- and scattered-wave energy from distant earthquakes, leading to...journal article 2010

Wapenaar, C.P.A. (author), Draganov, D.S. (author), Snieder, R. (author), Campman, X. (author), Verdel, A. (author)Seismic interferometry involves the crosscorrelation of responses at different receivers to obtain the Green's function between these receivers. For the simple situation of an impulsive plane wave propagating along the x-axis, the crosscorrelation of the responses at two receivers along the x-axis gives the Green's function of the direct wave...journal article 2010

Wapenaar, C.P.A. (author), Slob, E.C. (author), Snieder, R. (author), Curtis, A. (author)In the 1990s, the method of time-reversed acoustics was developed. This method exploits the fact that the acoustic wave equation for a lossless medium is invariant for time reversal. When ultrasonic responses recorded by piezoelectric transducers are reversed in time and fed simultaneously as source signals to the transducers, they focus at the...journal article 2010

Frijlink, M. (author), Wapenaar, C.P.A. (author)One-way wave equations conveniently describe wave propagation in media with discontinuous and/or rapid variations in one direction, but with smooth and slow variations in the complementary transverse directions. In the past, reciprocity theorems have been developed in terms of one-way wave fields. The boundaries of the integration volumes and...journal article 2010

Wapenaar, C.P.A. (author), Slob, E.C. (author), Snieder, R. (author)We have analyzed the far-field approximation of the Green's function representation for seismic interferometry. By writing each of the Green's functions involved in the correlation process as a superposition of a direct wave and a scattered wave, the Green's function representation is rewritten as a superposition of four terms. When the...journal article 2010

Draganov, D.S. (author), Campman, X. (author), Thorbecke, J.W. (author), Verdel, A. (author), Wapenaar, C.P.A. (author)One application of seismic interferometry is to retrieve the impulse response (Green's function) from crosscorrelation of ambient seismic noise. Various researchers show results for retrieving the surface-wave part of the Green's function. However, reflection retrieval has proven more challenging. We crosscorrelate ambient seismic noise,...journal article 2009

Van der Burg, D. (author), Verdel, A. (author), Wapenaar, C.P.A. (author)Trace inversion for reservoir parameters is affected by angle averaging of seismic data and wavelet distortion on the migration image. In an alternative approach to stochastic trace inversion, the data are inverted prestack before migration using 3D dynamic ray tracing. This choice makes it possible to interweave trace inversion with Kirchhoff...journal article 2009

Poletto, F. (author), Wapenaar, C.P.A. (author)The virtual reflector method simulates new seismic signals by processing traces recorded by a plurality of sources and receivers. The approach is based on the crossconvolution of the recorded signals and makes it possible to obtain the Green’s function of virtual reflected signals as if in the position of the receivers (or sources) there were a...journal article 2009

Wapenaar, C.P.A. (author), Van der Neut, J.R. (author), Ruigrok, E.N. (author)We introduce seismic interferometry of passive data by multidimensional deconvolution (MDD) as an alternative to the crosscorrelation method. Interferometry by MDD has the potential to correct for the effects of source irregularity, assuming the first arrival can be separated from the full response. MDD applications can range from reservoir...journal article 2008

Ruigrok, E.N. (author), Draganov, D.S. (author), Wapenaar, K. (author)Progress in the imaging of the mantle and core is partially limited by the sparse distribution of natural sources; the earthquake hypocenters are mainly along the active lithospheric plate boundaries. This problem can be approached with seismic interferometry. In recent years, there has been considerable progress in the development of seismic...journal article 2008

Toxopeus, G. (author), Thorbecke, J.W. (author), Wapenaar, C.P.A. (author), Petersen, S. (author), Slob, E.C. (author), Fokkema, J.T. (author)The simulation of migrated and inverted data is hampered by the high computational cost of generating 3D synthetic data, followed by processes of migration and inversion. For example, simulating the migrated seismic signature of subtle stratigraphic traps demands the expensive exercise of 3D forward modeling, followed by 3D migration of the...journal article 2008

Thorbecke, J.W. (author), Wapenaar, C.P.A. (author)Seismic interferometry refers to the process of retrieving new seismic responses by crosscorrelating seismic observations at different receiver locations. Seismic migration is the process of forming an image of the subsurface by wavefield extrapolation. Comparing the expressions for backward propagation known from migration literature with the...journal article 2007

Draganov, D. (author), Wapenaar, K. (author), Thorbecke, J. (author), Nishizawa, O. (author)By crosscorrelating transmission recordings of acoustic or elastic wave fields at two points, one can retrieve the reflection response between these two points. This technique has previously been applied to measured elastic data using diffuse wave-field recordings. These recordings should be relatively very long. The retrieval can also be...journal article 2007

Wapenaar, C.P.A. (author)Acoustic, electromagnetic, elastodynamic, poroelastic, and electroseismic waves are all governed by a unified matrix-vector wave equation. The matrices in this equation obey the same symmetry properties for each of these wave phenomena. This implies that the wave vectors for each of these phenomena obey the same reciprocity theorems. By...journal article 2007

(author)It is shown that the electromagnetic Green's functions of any linear medium with arbitrary heterogeneity can be obtained from the cross?correlation, or the cross?convolution, of two recordings at different receiver locations in an open system. Existing representations are known for cross?correlations where time?reversal invariance is exploited...journal article 2007
