Wavefield deghosting of seismic data recorded using multiple seismic sources at different water depths

摘要

Seismic data are acquired by actuating a first source at a first time and one or more additional seismic sources each with their own characteristic times with respect to a time of signal recording, the sources substantially collocated and at different depths. A first wavefield is determined that would occur if the first source were actuated at a selected time with respect to an initiation time of the recordings and being time adjusted for the water depth. One or more additional wavefields are determined that would occur if the one or more additional sources were each actuated at said selected time with respect to said initiation time, and being time adjusted for water depths of the one or more additional sources. The first wavefield and the one or more additional wavefields are combined to determine a deghosted source wavefield corresponding to actuation of a single seismic energy source.
