A method to suppress spurious multiples in virtual-source gathers retrieved using seismic interferometry with reflection data

Seismic interferometry applied to surface reflection data (with source and receivers at the surface) allows to retrieve virtual-source gathers at the position of receivers, where no source was shot. As a result of the crosscorrelation of all primary and multiple reflections, the virtual-source gathers contain retrieved physical reflections as...

Quantitative imaging of fractures around a borehole using linear slip theory and elastic least-squares migration

Single-well reflection imaging using sonic logging data successfully locates fine-scale structures around a borehole including fractures. In order to achieve accurate and quantitative estimation of fracture properties with high resolution, we propose to couple least-squares migration with linear slip theory. The proposed least-squares...
