METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DETERMINING SOURCE SIGNATURES AFTER SOURCE GHOST REMOVAL

摘要

Seismic data are acquired using a seismic source comprising a plurality of seismic sub-sources disposed in a body of water at a plurality of depths and activated with different time delays. Far-field signatures are determined for the plurality of seismic sub-sources at each of the plurality of depths. A composite ghost-free far-field signature of the seismic source is determined from the far-field signatures for the plurality of seismic sub-sources at each of the plurality of depths and different time delays. A source response is removed from the seismic data using the far-field signatures of the seismic source
