Do we need up/down decomposition for Marchenko imaging?

Marchenko redatuming, imaging, monitoring and multiple elimination methods are based on Green’s function representations, with the underlying assumption that the wave field in the subsurface can be decomposed into downgoing and upgoing waves and that evanescent waves can be neglected. In this paper we show that up/down decomposition in the...

Autofocusing imaging: Imaging with primaries, internal multiples and free-surface multiples

Recent work on autofocusing with the Marchenko equation has shown how the Green's function for a virtual source in the subsurface can be obtained from reflection data. The response to the virtual source is the Green's function from the location of the virtual source to the surface. The Green's function is retrieved using only the reflection...
