Seismic images provided by reverse time migration can be contaminated by artefacts associated with the migration of multiples. Multiples can corrupt seismic images, producing both false positives, that is by focusing energy at unphysical interfaces, and false negatives, that is by destructively interfering with primaries. Multiple prediction...

With the Marchenko method, it is possible to retrieve the wave field inside a medium from its reflection response at the surface. To date, this method has predominantly been applied to naturally occurring materials. This study extends the Marchenko method for applications in layered metamaterials with, in the low-frequency limit, effective...

We consider wave propagation problems in which there is a preferred direction of propagation. To account for propagation in preferred directions, the wave equation is decomposed into a set of coupled equations for waves that propagate in opposite directions along the preferred axis. This decomposition is not unique. We discuss flux-normalised...

Time-reversal acoustics, seismic interferometry, back propagation, source-receiver redatuming and imaging by double focusing are all based in some way or another on Green's theorem. An implicit assumption for all these methods is that data are available on a closed boundary, a condition that is never met in geophysical practice. As a...

Time-lapse changes in the subsurface can be analyzed by comparing seismic reflection data from two different states, one serving as the base survey and the second as the monitor survey. Conventionally, reflection data are acquired by placing active seismic sources at the acquisition surface. Alternatively, these data can be acquired from passive...

Seismic time-lapse studies are generally concerned with variations in a specific target zone, situated inside an otherwise static medium. In seismic monitoring the entire reflection response at the surface needs to be remodeled for every change in the target zone. Ideally, however, only the response of the target zone is remodeled, which is then...

In recent years, progress has been made in the field of virtual seismology. Using the novel data-driven Marchenko method, virtual sources and receivers can be created in the subsurface using only reflection data at the surface of the Earth and a background velocity model of the subsurface. Extensive studies have been performed on the application...

We have compared three data-driven internal multiple reflection elimination schemes derived from the Marchenko equations and inverse scattering series (ISS). The two schemes derived from Marchenko equations are similar but use different truncation operators. The first scheme creates a new data set without internal multiple reflections. The...

The Marchenko method retrieves Green's functions between the acquisition surface and any arbitrary point in the medium. The process generally involves solving an inversion starting with an initial focusing function, e.g., a direct-wave Green's function from the desired subsurface position, typically obtained using an approximate velocity...

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...

We apply Marchenko redatuming using an adaptive double-focusing method to 3D field data of the Santos basin, Brazil. This method was already successfully applied to 2D field data and we now study the acquisition geometry and preprocessing requirements in 3D. We start from 3D synthetic data modeled on a dense grid of colocated sources and...

Characterizing the mechanical and hydraulic properties of fractures is crucial in hydrocarbon and geothermal field development. Contrary to passive microseismic measurements, active seismic measurements using a borehole, e.g., VSP or sonic logging, have a potential to address aseismic fractures. However, there is a considerable scale gap between...

Characterizing subsurface fractures is a key to developing hydrocarbon and geothermal fields, as well as providing fundamental information on fracture system relevant to regional seismotectonics. Seismic characterization of fractures has generally been based on the effective medium theory, which considers seismically invisible small fractures....

The Marchenko method is based on two integral representations for focusing functions and Green’s functions. In practice the integrals are replaced by finite summations. This works well for regularly sampled data, but the quality of the results degrades in case of imperfect sampling. We reformulate the integral representations into summation...

The matrix-vector wave equation is a compact first-order differential equation. It was originally used for the analysis of elastodynamic plane waves in laterally invariant media. It has been extended by various authors for laterally varying media. Other authors derived a similar formalism for other wave phenomena. This paper starts with a...

The earthquake seismology and seismic exploration communities have developed a variety of seismic imaging methods for passive- and active-source data. Despite the seemingly different approaches and underlying principles, many of those methods are based in some way or another on Green's theorem. The aim of this paper is to discuss a variety of...

The homogeneous Green’s function is the difference between an impulse response and its time-reversal. According to existing representation theorems, the homogeneous Green’s function associated with source–receiver pairs inside a medium can be computed from measurements at a boundary enclosing the medium. However, in many applications such as...

Wavefield focusing can be achieved by Time-Reversal Mirrors, which involve in- and output signals that are infinite in time and waves propagating through the entire medium. Here, an alternative solution for wavefield focusing is presented. This solution is based on a new integral representation where in- and output signals are finite in time,...
