Grobbe, N. (author), van der Neut, J.R. (author), Almagro Vidal, C. (author), Drijkoningen, G.G. (author), Wapenaar, C.P.A. (author)Separation of recorded wavefields into downgoing and upgoing constituents is a technique that is used in many geophysical methods. The conventional, multi-component (MC) wavefield decomposition scheme makes use of different recorded wavefield components. In recent years, land acquisition designs have emerged that make use of shallow horizontal...conference paper 2014

Wapenaar, C.P.A. (author), Thorbecke, J.W. (author), Van der Neut, J.R. (author), Vasconcelos, I. (author), Slob, E.C. (author)Marchenko imaging is a new way to deal with internal multiple scattering in migration. It has been designed for layered media with smooth interfaces. Here we analyze the performance of the Marchenko scheme for a medium with many point scatterers. Although the conditions for Marchenko imaging are violated, we observe from a numerical experiment...conference paper 2014

Van der Neut, J.R. (author), Vasconcelos, I. (author), Wapenaar, C.P.A. (author)Recently, an iterative scheme was introduced to retrieve up- and downgoing Green’s functions at an arbitrary location F in the subsurface. The scheme uses the reflection data as acquired at the surface as input, together with an estimate of the direct arrival from the surface to location F, which is referred to as the initial focusing function....conference paper 2014

(author)Traditionally, the Marchenko equation forms a basis for 1D inverse scattering problems. A 3D extension of the Marchenko equation enables the retrieval of the Green’s response to a virtual source in the subsurface from reflection measurements at the earth’s surface. This constitutes an important step beyond seismic interferometry. Whereas seismic...journal article 2014

Wapenaar, C.P.A. (author), Thorbecke, J.W. (author), Van der Neut, J.R. (author), Broggini, F. (author), Slob, E.C. (author), Snieder, R. (author)The methodology of Green’s function retrieval by cross-correlation has led to many interesting applications for passive and controlled-source acoustic measurements. In all applications, a virtual source is created at the position of a receiver. Here a method is discussed for Green’s function retrieval from controlled-source reflection data,...journal article 2014

Van der Neut, J.R. (author), Wapenaar, C.P.A. (author), Thorbecke, J.W. (author), Vasconcelos, I. (author)Complex overburdens can severely distort transmitted wavefields, posing serious challenges for seismic imaging. In Marchenko redatuming, we use an iterative scheme to estimate so-called focusing functions, which can be used to redatum seismic wavefields to a specified level below the major complexities in the subsurface. Unlike in conventional...conference paper 2014

Broggini, F. (author), Wapenaar, C.P.A. (author), Van der Neut, J.R. (author), Snieder, R. (author)An iterative method is presented that allows one to retrieve the Green's function originating from a virtual source located inside a medium using reflection data measured only at the acquisition surface. In addition to the reflection response, an estimate of the travel times corresponding to the direct arrivals is required. However, no detailed...journal article 2014

Thorbecke, J.W. (author), Van der Neut, J.R. (author), Wapenaar, C.P.A. (author)Recent research showed that the Marchenko equation can be used to construct the Green’s function for a virtual source position in the subsurface. The method requires the reflection response at the surface and an estimate of the direct arrival of the wavefield, traveling from the virtual source location to the acquisition surface. In this paper,...conference paper 2013

Unlike in seismic interferometry, no receiver is needed at the position of the virtual source. Here we present the theory behind this new method. First we introduce the Green's function G and a so...conference paper 2013

(author)Elastic wave decomposition, aiming at separating the converted modes from the P waves, is applied to high-resolution OBC data acquired in the River Danube, Hungary. The decomposition relies on accurate knowledge of the water-bottom elastic parameters and on a perfect sensor calibration and coupling.

(author)We present a novel method to transform seismic data with sources at the surface and receivers above and below a selected target zone in the subsurface into virtual data with sources and receivers located at the initial receiver locations. The method is based on inverting a series of multidimensional equations of the convolution- and the...conference paper 2013

Van der Neut, J.R. (author)Seismic reflection imaging is a popular method to image, characterize and monitor the Earth's subsurface. In this method, seismic signals are sent into the subsurface and their reflections are collected. Strong heterogeneities in upper sections of the subsurface often pose a problem for imaging deeper sections. To overcome these problems, it has...doctoral thesis 2012

Van der Neut, J.R. (author), Frijlink, M. (author), Borselen, R. (author)A common strategy for surface-related multiple elimination of seismic data is to predict multiples by a convolutional model and subtract these adaptively from the input gathers. Problems can be posed by interfering multiples and primaries. Removing multiples by multidimensional deconvolution (MDD) (inversion) does not suffer from these problems....journal article 2012

(author)When applying seismic interferometry to image sub-vertical salt flanks or structures with large dips from vertical or deviated wells, we are often confronted with poor target illumination.

Wapenaar, C.P.A. (author), Van der Neut, J.R. (author), Thorbecke, J.W. (author)Deblending of simultaneous-source data is usually considered to be an underdetermined inverse problem, which can be solved by an iterative procedure, assuming additional constraints like sparsity and coherency. By exploiting the fact that seismic data are spatially band-limited, deblending of densely sampled sources can be carried out as a...journal article 2012

(author)With controlled-source seismic interferometry we aim to redatum sources to downhole receiver locations without requiring a velocity model.

We provide an overview of ghosts, multiples, and spatial...journal article 2011
