3-D seismic acquisition geometry design and analysis: Investigation of the requirements to include illumination from all multiples

A seismic survey should be designed such that imaging of the acquired data leads to a sufficiently accurate subsurface image. For that purpose, methods for acquisition geometry analysis and design are available. These methods are used to judge whether an acquisition geometry is suited for the specified objectives. Conventional 2D and 3D...

Imaging velocity and attenuation scatterers with wave equation migration

The thesis deals with wave-equation migration in a visco-acoustic medium, where an ambiguity appears when one tries to image simultaneous velocity and attenuation perturbations.
