Zhang, L. (author), Thorbecke, J.W. (author), Wapenaar, C.P.A. (author), Slob, E.C. (author)We have developed a scheme that retrieves primary reflections in the two-way traveltime domain by filtering the data. The data have their own filter that removes internal multiple reflections, whereas the amplitudes of the retrieved primary reflections are compensated for two-way transmission losses. Application of the filter does not require...journal article 2019

Wapenaar, C.P.A. (author), Brackenhoff, J.A. (author), Thorbecke, J.W. (author)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...conference paper 2019

Zhang, L. (author), Thorbecke, J.W. (author), Wapenaar, C.P.A. (author), Slob, E.C. (author)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...journal article 2019

Brackenhoff, J.A. (author), Thorbecke, J.W. (author), Wapenaar, C.P.A. (author)Forecasting induced seismicity responses for field data is difficult if no detailed model of the subsurface is available, which generally is the case. As an alternative, reflection data of the subsurface and a non-detailed background model can be used in the Marchenko method to obtain virtual receivers in the subsurface. By employing homogeneous...conference paper 2019

Reinicke Urruticoechea, C. (author), Dukalski, M.S. (author), Wapenaar, C.P.A. (author)The elastodynamic Marchenko method removes overburden interactions obscuring the target information. This method either relies on separability of the so-called focusing and Green's functions or requires an accurate initial estimate of the focusing and Green's function overlap. Hitherto, F1- and G-+ have been assumed separable, whereas F1+ and...conference paper 2019

Wapenaar, C.P.A. (author), van IJsseldijk, J.E. (author)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...conference paper 2019

Sripanich, Yanadet (author), Vasconcelos, Ivan (author), Wapenaar, C.P.A. (author)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...journal article 2019

Minato, S. (author), Ghose, R. (author), Wapenaar, C.P.A. (author)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...conference paper 2019

Minato, S. (author), Ghose, R. (author), Wapenaar, C.P.A. (author)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....conference paper 2019

Minato, S. (author), Ghose, R. (author), Wapenaar, C.P.A. (author)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...conference paper 2019

(author)A virtual acoustic source inside a medium can be created by emitting a time-reversed point-source response from the enclosing boundary into the medium. However, in many practical situations the medium can be accessed from one side only. In those cases the time-reversal approach is not exact. Here, we demonstrate the experimental design and...journal article 2018

(author)Marchenko redatuming is a novel scheme used to retrieve up- and downgoing Green's functions in an unknown medium.Marchenko equations are based on reciprocity theorems and are derived on the assumption of the existence of functions exhibiting space-time focusing properties once injected in the subsurface. In contrast to interferometry but...journal article 2018

Wapenaar, C.P.A. (author), Staring, M. (author)In seismic monitoring, one is usually interested in the response of a changing target zone, embedded in a static inhomogeneous medium. We introduce an efficient method that predicts reflection responses at the Earth's surface for different target-zone scenarios, from a single reflection response at the surface and a model of the changing...journal article 2018

Therefore, predicting possible geological threats while drilling a tunnel is important for operational safety and for preventing expensive standstills.

Hartstra, I.E. (author), Almagro Vidal, C. (author), Wapenaar, C.P.A. (author)Virtual Green's functions obtained by seismic interferometry (SI) can provide valuable reflectivity data that can complement tomographic inversion schemes. However, virtual reflections are affected by illumination irregularities that are typical of earthquake-induced wavefields recorded by the receiver array. As a consequence, irregular...journal article 2018

Staring, M. (author), Wapenaar, C.P.A. (author)Internal multiples can create severe artefacts in seismic imaging, especially when our zone of interest is overlain by a complex overburden. These artefacts can mask structures, which has a strong effect on the interpretation of the image. Therefore, multiple prediction and removal is of significant importance for correct imaging and...abstract 2018

(author)We have developed an adaptive double-focusing method that is specifically designed for the field-data application of source-receiver Marchenko redatuming. Typically, the single-focusing Marchenko method is combined with a multidimensional deconvolution (MDD) to achieve redatuming. Our method replaces the MDD step by a second focusing step...journal article 2018
