Seismic imaging projects aim to reveal the structure of the earths crust from seismic data. These projects typically include three separate processing steps, being: • attenuation of multiple reflections in the seismic data. • estimating seismic wave propagation velocities from the seismic data. • mapping the measured reflection data to the...

Surface-related multiple elimination (SRME) is one of the most commonly used methods for suppressing surface multiples. However, to obtain an accurate surface multiple estimation, dense source and receiver sampling is required. The traditional approach to this problem is performing data interpolation prior to multiple estimation. Although...

For vertical-seismic-profiling (VSP) measurements, the use of blended acquisition, with time-overlapping shot records, can greatly reduce the downtime and, thereby, provide large cost savings. For directly imaging blended VSP measurements, we have used full-wavefield migration (FWM). FWM is an inversion-based imaging scheme that enables us to...

Many seismic data processing and imaging processes require densely and regularly sampled data, whereas the actual measurements are mostly irregularly and sparsely sampled. Therefore, seismic data reconstruction methods are utilised as a pre-processing step. Within the class of transformation-based reconstruction techniques, observed seismic data...

Full wavefield migration (FWM) is an inversion-based imaging algorithm that utilizes the complete reflection measurements: primaries as well as all multiples, both surface and internal. Using multiples in the imaging can extend the illumination of the subsurface. In this paper we concentrate the study on the internal scattering that can be...

Recently, a new approach to multiple removal has been intro- duced: estimation of primaries by sparse inversion (EPSI). Al- though based on the same relationship between primaries and multiples as surface-related multiple elimination (SRME), it involves quite a different process: instead of prediction and subtraction of multiples, in EPSI the...

Blended source and/or simultaneous source acquisition for multi-offset and multi-azimuth VSP measurements can prove significantly beneficial in saving expensive borehole down-time. In the last few years, for the case of surface seismic data, it was proposed to redefine imaging and inversion of the blended data to handle the data directly without...

Today, the problem of surface-related multiples, especially in shallow water, is not fully solved. Although surface-related multiple elimination (SRME) method has proved to be successful on a large number of data cases, the involved adaptive subtraction acts as a weak link in this methodology, where primaries can be distorted due to their...

Full waveform inversion is a tool to obtain high-resolution property models of the subsurface from seismic data. However, the technique is computationally expens- ive and so far no multi-dimensional implementation exists to achieve a resolution that can directly be used for seismic interpretation and characterisation. In this thesis we discuss a...

The estimation of a velocity model is an important step in seismic imaging. To a large extend, seismic data interpretation is implicitly based on this model. Thus, the velocity model influences important conclusions such as size and shape of the reservoir and the expected volume of producible hydrocarbons. In the Common Focus Point (CFP)...

The Seismic Value Chain quantifies the cyclic interaction between seismic acquisition, imaging and reservoir characterization. Modern seismic innovation to address the global imbalance in hydrocarbon supply and demand requires such cyclic interaction of both feed-forward and feed-back processes. Currently, the seismic value chain paradigm is in...

Van Groenestijn, G.J.A. (author)
Surface-related multiple reflections are often considered noise in the seismic reflection measurements. By seismic processes, such as migration and inversion, they can be mistakenly seen as primary reflections and give an erroneous image of the earth. Therefore, a method is needed to separate the multiples from the primaries. This thesis...

The detection of inhomogeneities in plates or plate-like structures constitutes a major problem in the field of non-destructive testing. For a few decades, classical techniques based on X-ray radiography have - as far as possible - been complemented and replaced by the usage of vibrations or acoustical waves due to the fact that these are less...

Zwartjes, P.M. (author)
In seismic exploration an image of the subsurface is generated from seismic data through various data processing algorithms. When the data is not acquired on an equidistantly spaced grid, artifacts may result in the final image. Fourier reconstruction is an interpolation technique that can reduce these artifacts by generating uniformly sampled...

Poot, H. (author)
During the last decades many different seismic inversion algorithms have been developed. Since the problem to be solved is non-linear and does not have a unique solution, every method makes use of its own approximations and assumptions. As a step towards a new approach to the inversion of seismic data we have designed and partly implemented a...

Seismic images of the structure of the earth are a prerequisite for finding new hydrocarbon reservoirs. The quality of a seismic images is highly dependent on the accuracy of the velocity model of the subsurface. Conventional imaging consists of an iterative process between obtaining the image using a velocity model, and updating this model by...
