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....

An overview of Marchenko methods

Since the introduction of the Marchenko method in geophysics, many variants have been developed. Using a compact unified notation, we review redatuming by multidimensional deconvolution and by double focusing, virtual seismology, double dereverberation and transmission-compensated Marchenko multiple elimination, and discuss the underlying...

Single- and Double-Sided Marchenko Imaging Conditions in Acoustic Media

Virtual seismology: from hydrocarbon reservoir imaging to induced earthquake monitoring

Recent developments in exploration seismology have enabled the creation of virtual sources and/or virtual receivers in the subsurface from reflection measurements at the earth's surface. Unlike in seismic interferometry, no physical instrument (receiver or source) is needed at the position of the virtual source or receiver. Moreover, no detailed...

Electromagnetic Marchenko imaging in 1D for dissipative media

We present a one-dimensional lossless scheme to compute an image of a dissipative medium from two single-sided reflection responses. One reflection response is measured at or above the top reflector of a dissipative medium and the other reflection response is computed as if measured at or above the top reflector of a medium with negative...
