Full waveform inversion usually fails to update the sediment velocity in close vicinity of the top of salt (TOS) because of the strong velocity contrast between the sediment and salt. This phenomenon is a common challenge in practice, and it is not yet well ...

Low-frequency seismic data are crucial for the success of full waveform inversion (FWI) used in velocity model building. Marine acquisition technologies have evolved to increase low-frequency seismic signals. However, significant low-frequency noise, often caused by water flowing across the streamers, still alters the signal-to-noise ...

Ocean bottom node (OBN) data by nature have a broader bandwidth; however, the presence of source-side ghosts can reduce the useful frequency range and therefore damage seismic resolution. We demonstrate the benefits of 3D deghosting for OBN data from the Gulf of Mexico (GOM) ...

Over recent years, many authors have proposed to compensate the absorption loss effects inside of the imaging process through the use of an attenuation model. This is more particularly necessary in the presence of strong attenuations anomalies. Q tomography has been developed for estimating ...

RTM surface offset gathers (SOG) contain subsalt events spanning the entire offset range (i.e., longer usable curvatures for tomography). RTM SOGs also have more reliable residual curvatures because each offset and azimuth group is migrated independently and does not interfere with the neighboring ones ...

We designed and implemented a practical and comprehensive workflow to mitigate missing source wavelet information and waveforms with vast spatial variation for land dynamite surveys and addressed the common challenges of acoustic-FWI application on land surveys during field data preparation.

A flexible Radon modelling algorithm using time-frequency sparseness weights is introduced. The method may be used for a number of applications and combines the dealiasing and time resolution benefits of existing methods. Compared with a frequency domain sparseness approach, the proposed method results in ...

The paper gives an overview of a full 4C deblending process and its results up to migration in the case of a real 2D 4C dataset acquired offshore Malaysia. Special emphasis is put on the deblending QCs and the specificities of the deblending flow ...

Article describes application of TomoML to our 35,000 km2 Cornerstone survey in the North Sea. Also make reference to broadband deghosting, dip-constrained channel tomography and dual azimuth.
