Automated seismic acquisition geometry design for optimized illumination at the target
A linearized approach
In seismic exploration methods, imperfect spatial sampling at the surface causes a lack of illumination at the target in the subsurface. The hampered image quality at the target area of interest causes uncertainties in reservoir monitoring and production, which can have a substan

Inverse propagation in 1.5-dimensional amplitude-versus-offset joint migration inversion
The state-of-the-art joint migration inversion faces the so-called amplitude-versus-offset challenge, due to adopting over-simplified one-way propagation, reflection and transmission operators to avoid over-parameterization in the inversion process. To overcome this challenge, we

Seismic inversion with deep learning
A proposal for litho-type classification
This article investigates bypassing the inversion steps involved in a standard litho-type classification pipeline and performing the litho-type classification directly from imaged seismic data. We consider a set of deep learning methods that map the seismic data directly into lit

Focal deblending
Marine data processing experiences
In contrast to conventional acquisition practices, simultaneous source acquisition allows for overlapping wavefields to be recorded. Relaxing the shot schedule in this manner has certain advantages, such as allowing for faster acquisition and/or denser shot sampling. This flexibi

Joint migration inversion
Features and challenges
Joint migration inversion is a recently proposed technology, accommodating velocity model building and seismic migration in one integrated process. Different from the widely accepted full waveform inversion technology, it uses imaging parameters, i.e. velocities and reflectivitie

Robust estimation of VTI ( vertical symmetry axis) models via joint migration inversion
Including multiples in anisotropic parameter estimation
Since the Earth is predominately anisotropic, the anisotropy of the medium needs to be included in seismic imaging to avoid mispositioning of reflectors and unfocused images. Deriving accurate anisotropic velocities from the seismic reflection measurements is a highly nonlinear a

Near-surface layer replacement for sparse data: Is interpolation needed?
Near-surface problem is a common challenge faced by land seismic data processing, where often, due to near-surface anomalies, events of interest are obscured. One method to handle this challenge is near-surface layer replacement, which is a wavefield reconstruction process based

Deep-learning-based near-offset reconstruction for (closed-loop) surface-related multiple estimation on shallow-water field data
Accurate removal of surface-related multiples remains a challenge in shallow-water cases. One reason is that the success of surface-related multiple estimation (SRME)-related algorithms is sensitive to the quality of the near-offset reconstruction. When it comes to a larger missi

Target-level waveform inversion
A prospective application of the convolution-type representation for the acoustic wavefield
Nowadays, full-waveform inversion, based on fitting the measured surface data with modelled data, has become the preferred approach to recover detailed physical parameters from the subsurface. However, its application is computationally expensive for large inversion domains. Furt

Simultaneous joint migration inversion as a high-resolution time-lapse imaging method
Feasibility and robustness study
The conventional time-lapse processing workflow is usually sensitive to the non-repeatable uncertainties between different vintages caused by noise, acquisition designs and independent processing. Therefore, in order to reduce these non-repeatable uncertainties, all the datasets

Tackling the weathering with low ranks
Handling the complex near surface of land seismic data with low-rank-based methods
Imaging and inversion with seismic data recorded with sources and receivers at the surface are powerful tools to infer knowledge about the subsurface. However, creating an image with seismic data is unfortunately not as easy as taking a picture with a smartphone. The estimated su

And Modelling the Gravitational Field of the Earth
A model is designed for solving gravitational profiles of self-gravitating and rotating planets via the use of Poisson's equation for total gravity, i.e., the sum of the gravitational and rotational potential. Poisson's equation is a partial differential equation that is solved w

Optimising marine seismic acquisition
Source encoding in blended acquisition and target-oriented acquisition geometry optimisation
Seismic data acquisition is a trade-off between cost and data quality subject to operational constraints. Due to budget limitations, 3D seismic acquisition usually does not have a dense spatial sampling in all dimensions. This causes artefacts in the processed images, velocity mo
