Target-oriented least-squares reverse-time migration with Marchenko redatuming and double-focusing: Field data application

Recently, the focus of reflection seismologists has shifted to applications where a high-resolution image of the subsurface is required. Least-Squares Reverse-Time Migration (LSRTM) is a common tool used to compute such images. Still, its high computational costs have led seismologists to use target-oriented LSRTM for imaging only a small target...

Marchenko redatuming, imaging and multiple elimination, and their mutual relations

With the Marchenko method it is possible to retrieve Green's functions between virtual sources in the subsurface and receivers at the surface from reflection data at the surface and focusing functions. A macro model of the subsurface is needed to estimate the first arrival; the internal multiples are retrieved entirely from the reflection data....

Interferometric redatuming of autofocused primaries and internal multiples

Recently, an iterative scheme has been introduced to retrieve the down- and upgoing Green's functions at an arbitrary level ?F inside an acoustic medium as if there were a source at the surface. This scheme requires as input the reflection response acquired at the surface and the direct arrival of the transmission response from the surface to...
