Technical Abstract

A ghost prediction based OBC PZ summation method for complex seabed

Back to Technical Content
In ocean bottom acquisition, receiver side deghosting is normally done by summing together the hydrophone P and geophone Z data. A prerequisite for this method to work effectively is the precise calibration of geophones to hydrophones, so as to compensate for the differences in sensitivity and coupling. A “cross-ghosting” approach has been proposed to extrapolate geophone and hydrophone data to have the same manner for matching. However, as far as we know, existing cross-ghosting methods are based on a 1D geology assumption. In this paper, we describe a cross-ghosting method using 2D wave-equation extrapolation, which accurately predicts the ghost according to the structure of the seafloor.
