A field data example of Marchenko multiple elimination

Multiple reflections are often considered as noise in seismic data. Dealing with them has attracted much attention from industry and academia. A variety of schemes have been developed for removal of free-surface multiple reflections and success has been achieved in numerical and field datasets. However, less attention has been directed toward...

Marchenko equations for acoustic Green's function retrieval and imaging in dissipative media

We present a scheme for Marchenko imaging in a dissipative heterogeneous medium. The scheme requires measured reflection and transmission data at two sides of the dissipative medium. The effectual medium is the same as the dissipative medium, but with negative dissipation. We show how the measured double-sided data can be combined to obtain the...

Autofocusing imaging: Imaging with primaries, internal multiples and free-surface multiples

Recent work on autofocusing with the Marchenko equation has shown how the Green's function for a virtual source in the subsurface can be obtained from reflection data. The response to the virtual source is the Green's function from the location of the virtual source to the surface. The Green's function is retrieved using only the reflection...
