Green's function retrieval by crosscorrelation may suffer from irregularities in the source distribution, asymmetric illumination, intrinsic losses, etc. Multidimensional deconvolution (MDD) may overcome these limitations. A unified representation for Green's function retrieval by MDD is proposed. From this representation, it follows that the traditional crosscorrelation method gives a Green's function of which the source is smeared in space and time. This smearing is quantified by a space-time point-spread function (PSF), which can be retrieved from measurements at an array of receivers. MDD removes this PSF and thus deblurs and deghosts the source of the Green's function obtained by correlation. (c) 2010 Acoustical Society of America

3D Marchenko applications: implementation and examples

Joeri Brackenhoff, Jan Thorbecke, Giovanni Meles, Victor Koehne, Diego Barrera, Kees Wapenaar

Summary: The text discusses implementing 3D Marchenko equations to retrieve responses to virtual sources inside the subsurface, and applying floating point compression to reduce the volume and loading time of reflection data. By using this method, accurate Green's functions are extracted for imaging without simulating a large number of virtual source points.

3-D Virtual Seismology

Joeri Brackenhoff, Jan Thorbecke, Kees Wapenaar

Summary: In this study, virtual sources and receivers in a 3-D subsurface were created using the single-sided homogeneous Green's function representation. By applying the representation to numerical data, it was demonstrated that the approach is an improvement over the classical representation in 3-D. The effectiveness of the method was validated through experiments, showing its potential applications under certain conditions.

On the Retrieval of Forward-Scattered Waveforms From Acoustic Reflection and Transmission Data With the Marchenko Equation

Joost van der Neut, Joeri Brackenhoff, Giovanni Meles, Lele Zhang, Evert Slob, Kees Wapenaar

Summary: By incorporating transmission data, an auxiliary equation for the forward-scattered components of the initial focusing function can be derived, which allows for including forward-scattered waveforms in Green's function estimates. This approach has been successfully demonstrated in an acoustic medium with mass density contrast and constant propagation velocity through solving both the auxiliary and Marchenko equations successively.

Marchenko Green's Function Retrieval in Layered Elastic Media from Two-Sided Reflection and Transmission Data

Joost van der Neut, Joeri Brackenhoff, Giovanni Angelo Meles, Evert Slob, Kees Wapenaar

Summary: By solving the Marchenko equation, Green's functions at an arbitrary depth level inside an unknown elastic layered medium can be retrieved from single-sided reflection data. We introduce an alternative Marchenko equation and an auxiliary equation, as well as a coupled equation based on reflection and transmission data. When broadband reflection and transmission data are available, our method can successfully invert the system and retrieve elastodynamic Green's functions from two-sided data.

Wavefield focusing using a generalised, potentially asymmetric homogeneous Green?s function

Leon Diekmann, Ivan Vasconcelos, Kees Wapenaar, Evert Slob, Roel Snieder

Summary: Marchenko-type integrals relate focusing functions and Green's functions through reflection response measured on the open surface of the volume of interest. The traditional method is limited in including evanescent, refracted, and diving waves due to wavefield decomposition and a truncated medium state.

Target-oriented least-squares reverse-time migration using Marchenko double-focusing: reducing the artefacts caused by overburden multiples

Aydin Shoja, Joost van der Neut, Kees Wapenaar

Summary: Geophysicists have used least-squares reverse-time migration (LSRTM) to obtain high-resolution subsurface images. A target-oriented approach to LSRTM has been proposed, which focuses the wavefield above the target of interest and reduces computational burden. However, it still requires an accurate velocity model and suffers from multiple reflections.

Extracting small time-lapse traveltime changes in a reservoir using primaries and internal multiples after Marchenko-based target zone isolation

Johno van IJsseldijk, Joost van der Neut, Jan Thorbecke, Kees Wapenaar

Summary: Geophysical monitoring of subsurface reservoirs relies on detecting small changes in seismic response using the Marchenko method to isolate the target response and reveal target-related multiples that probe the reservoir more than once. By using this method, more precise time-lapse changes can be extracted, and dynamic changes in the subsurface can be observed with increased accuracy.

Propagator and transfer matrices, Marchenko focusing functions and their mutual relations

Kees Wapenaar, Marcin Dukalski, Christian Reinicke, Roel Snieder

Summary: Many seismic imaging methods use wavefield extrapolation operators to redatum sources and receivers from the surface into the subsurface. We discuss wavefield extrapolation operators that account for internal multiple reflections, including propagator matrices, transfer matrices, and Marchenko focusing functions. These operators allow for accurate wavefield propagation and focusing in heterogeneous media, avoiding common approximations used in previous methods. Understanding the relationships between these operators can lead to new developments in Marchenko theory and improve applications in wavefield focusing, Green's function retrieval and imaging.

The impact of crustal scattering on body-wave reflection interferometry by cross-correlation and multidimensional deconvolution

Iris Hartstra, Kees Wapenaar

Summary: This study analyzes the impact of scattering on the performance of seismic interferometry applications for retrieving body-wave reflections. The results show a trade-off between the quality of the retrieved virtual primary reflection and the scattering strength of the overburden. The full-field MDD method proves to be the most resilient to the negative effects of multiple scattering.

Summary: Reservoir simulations for subsurface processes are crucial for geothermal energy extraction and fluid storage. Integrating simulation results with seismic surveys is challenging due to the dynamics of the reservoir altering seismic parameters. This study develops a coupled simulation and seismic methodology to better understand fluid flow in subsurface reservoirs.

Target-Enclosed Least-Squares Seismic Imaging

Aydin Shoja, Joost van der Neut, Kees Wapenaar

Summary: Least-squares reverse-time migration (LSRTM) is a computationally demanding method used by seismologists to compute high-resolution subsurface images. This article proposes a target-enclosed LSRTM algorithm by confining the region of interest (ROI) and deriving representations for the wavefields at the upper and lower boundaries using the acoustic reciprocity theorem. The algorithm aims to compute a high-resolution image of the ROI while considering wavefields entering the target region from the surrounding boundaries. The article also investigates the potential use of virtual receivers created by Marchenko redatuming.
