Brackenhoff, J.A. (author), van der Neut, J.R. (author), Wapenaar, C.P.A. (author)The Marchenko equation can be used to retrieve the Green’s function at depth as a full function or decomposed into its upand downgoing parts. We show that the equation can be rewritten to create a decomposition scheme that can decompose a full wavefield, that was recorded at depth, into its up- and downgoing parts. We show that this can be done...conference paper 2017

Wapenaar, C.P.A. (author), Slob, E.C. (author)In a time-lapse experiment, changes in a reservoir cause changes in the reflection response. We discuss a method which predicts these changes from the baseline survey and a model of the changed reservoir. This method, which takes all multiple<br/>scattering into account, is significantly more efficient than modeling the response of the entire...conference paper 2017

Brackenhoff, J.A. (author), Thorbecke, J.W. (author), Wapenaar, C.P.A. (author)In wave theory, a Green’s function is defined as the response of a medium to an impulsive point source. The homogeneous Green’s function is the combination of the Green’s function and its time-reversal. Homogeneous Green’s functions can be retrieved if the medium is enclosed by a boundary where the full wavefield is recorded. In recent years,...abstract 2017

Singh, S. (author), Snieder, R (author), van der Neut, J.R. (author), Thorbecke, J.W. (author), Slob, E.C. (author), Wapenaar, C.P.A. (author)Imagine placing a receiver at any location in the earth and recording the response at that location to sources on the surface. In such a world, we could place receivers around our reservoir to better image the reservoir and understand its properties. Realistically, this is not a feasible approach for understanding the subsurface. We have...journal article 2017

Weemstra, C. (author), Draganov, D.S. (author), Ruigrok, E.N. (author), Hunziker, J.W. (author), Gomez, Martin (author), Wapenaar, C.P.A. (author)Obtaining new seismic responses from existing recordings is generally referred to as seismic interferometry (SI). Conventionally, the SI responses are retrieved by simple crosscorrelation of recordings made by separate receivers: one of the receivers acts as a ‘virtual source’ whose response is retrieved at the other receivers.When SI is applied...journal article 2017

Ruigrok, E.N. (author), Gibbons, Steven (author), Wapenaar, C.P.A. (author)An areal distribution of sensors can be used for estimating the direction of incoming waves through beamforming. Beamforming may be implemented as a phase-shifting and stacking of data recorded on the different sensors (i.e., conventional beamforming). Alternatively, beamforming can be applied to cross-correlations between the waveforms on...journal article 2017

Wapenaar, C.P.A. (author), van der Neut, J.R. (author), Slob, E.C. (author)The question whether multiples are signal or noise is subject of ongoing debate. In this paper we consider correlation and deconvolution imaging methods and analyse to what extent multiples contribute to the image in these methods. Our starting point is the assumption that at a specific depth level the full downgoing and upgoing fields (both...conference paper 2017

Slob, E.C. (author), Wapenaar, C.P.A. (author)The theory of data-driven true amplitude migration is presented for multicomponent marine seismic data. The Marchenko scheme is adapted to account for the ghost, free surface and internal multiple effects and works without the need to know the source wavelet. A true amplitude image is formed from the obtained focusing functions without ghost...conference paper 2017

Holicki, M.E. (author), Drijkoningen, G.G. (author), Wapenaar, C.P.A. (author)We propose a novel directional decomposition operator for wavefield snapshots in heterogeneous-velocity media. The proposed operator demonstrates the link between the amplitude of pressure and particlevelocity plane waves in the wavenumber domain. The proposed operator requires two spatial Fourier transforms (one forward and one backward) per...conference paper 2017

Wapenaar, C.P.A. (author), Reinicke Urruticoechea, C. (author)The homogeneous Green’s function is the Green’s function minus its timereversal. Many wavefield imaging applications make use of the homogeneous Green’s function in form of a closed boundary integral. Wapenaar et al. (2016a) derived an accurate single-sided homogeneous Green’s function representation that only requires sources/receivers on an...conference paper 2017

Staring, M. (author), Grobbe, N. (author), van der Neut, J.R. (author), Wapenaar, C.P.A. (author)We compare the coupled Marchenko equations without free-surface multiples to the coupled Marchenko equations including free-surface multiples. When using the conventional method of iterative substitution to solve these equations, a difference in convergence behaviour is observed, suggesting that there is a fundamental difference in the...conference paper 2017

Weemstra, C. (author), Wapenaar, C.P.A. (author), van Dalen, K.N. (author)Seismic interferometry (SI) takes advantage of existing (ambient) wavefield recordings by turning receivers into so-called “virtual-sources.” The medium’s response to these virtual sources can be harnessed to image that medium. Applications of SI include surface-wave imaging of the Earth’s shallow subsurface and medical imaging. Most...journal article 2017

Dokter, E. (author), Meles, G.A. (author), Curtis, A (author), Wapenaar, C.P.A. (author)A number of seismic processing methods, including velocity analysis (Sheriff and Geldart, 1999), make the assumption that recorded waves are primaries - that they have scattered only once (the Born approximation). Multiples then represent a source of coherent noise and must be suppressed to avoid artefacts. There are different approaches to...conference paper 2017

Liu, Y. (author), Arntsen, B (author), van der Neut, J.R. (author), Wapenaar, C.P.A. (author)A standard procedure in processing vertical seismic profile (VSP) data is the separation of up-and downgoing wavefields. We show that the up-down wavefields in boreholes can be reconstructed using only singlecomponent borehole data, given that a full set of surface reflection data is also available. No medium parameters are required. The method...conference paper 2017

Hartstra, I.E. (author), Almagro Vidal, C. (author), Wapenaar, C.P.A. (author)Our objective is to complement lithospheric seismic tomography with an interferometric method to retrieve high-resolution reflectivity images from local earthquake recordings. The disadvantage of using local earthquakes for the retrieval of reflected body-waves is their usual sparse distribution. We propose an alternative formulation of passive...journal article 2017

Evers, L.G. (author), Wapenaar, C.P.A. (author), Heaney, KD (author), Snellen, M. (author)The propagation of acoustic waves in the ocean strongly depends on the temperature. Lowfrequency acoustic waves can penetrate the ocean down to depths where few in situ measurements are available. It is therefore attractive to obtain a measure of the deep ocean temperature from acoustic waves. The latter is especially true if the ambient...journal article 2017

(author)Obtaining detailed images of aseismic parts of subducting slabs remains a large challenge for understanding slab dynamics. Hypocenter mapping cannot be used for the purpose due to the absence of seismicity, whereas the use of receiver functions might be compromised by the presence of melt. Global tomography can be used to identify the presence...journal article 2016
