Seismic interferometry: a comparison of approaches
نویسندگان
چکیده
We discuss three approaches to seismic interferometry and compare their underlying assumptions. In the first approach the reflection response is reconstructed by cross-correlating the responses of many uncorrelated noise sources. In the second approach a depth image is obtained from the response of a single source, recorded by many receivers. In the third approach the Green’s function is reconstructed by cross-correlating the recordings of two receivers in a diffuse field.

Target-oriented interferometry – Imaging with internal multiples from subsalt VSP data
Seismic interferometry has become a technology of growing interest for imaging from borehole seismic data. We demonstrate that interferometry of internal multiples can be used to image targets above a borehole receiver array. We use an interferometry technique that targets the reconstruction of specific primary reflections from multiply reflected waves. In this target-oriented interferometry ap...
متن کاملGreen’s function representation for seismic interferometry by deconvolution
Despite the strength of seismic interferometry to retrieve new seismic responses by crosscorrelating observations at different receiver locations, the method relies on a number of assumptions which are not always fulfilled in practice. Some practical circumstances that may hamper interferometry by crosscorrelation are: one-sided illumination, irregular source distribution, varying source spectr...
متن کاملComparison of microearthquake locations using seismic interferometry principles
Mapping, localization, and general characterization of problems in reservoir fracture systems is one of the most important in oil, gas, and geothermal energy production. One way to study and monitor these fracture systems is to analyze the microearthquakes triggered during hydraulic fracturing or stimulation, as these events generally occur along newly created and preexisting fractures. Thus, t...
متن کاملSeismic interferometry by crosscorrelation and by multidimensional deconvolution: a systematic comparison
Seismic interferometry, also known as Green’s function retrieval by crosscorrelation, has a wide range of applications, ranging from surface-wave tomography using ambient noise, to creating virtual sources for improved reflection seismology. Despite its successful applications, the crosscorrelation approach also has its limitations. The main underlying assumptions are that the medium is lossles...
متن کاملNonlinear extended wave-equation imaging by image-domain seismic interferometry
Wave-equation, finite-frequency imaging and inversion still faces considerable challenges in addressing the inversion of highly complex velocity models as well as in dealing with nonlinear imaging (e.g., migration of multiples, amplitudepreserving migration). Extended images (EI’s), as we present here, are particularly important for designing image-domain objective functions aimed at addressing...
