Seismic data acquisition and source-side derivatives generation and application

摘要

The technologies described herein include systems and methods for encoding/decoding seismic sources and responses, generating and using of source side derivatives while also generating and using the conventional source response. Sources in an array may be encoded such that activation of each source in the array constitutes a single spike in a sequence orthogonal to another sequence emitted by another source. The responses to these different sources that are in close spatial proximity can be decoded and separated. Source-side derivatives may be calculated and utilized in various applications in combination with the monopole response from the source location, including source-side deghosting, spatial (horizontal and vertical) interpolation and imaging. 4284764_2 (GHMatters) P79938.AU.1 5/2/2013
